Good Morning Church Family!
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think according to the power at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever Amen. –Ephesians 3:20-21.
Merry Christmas Northwood Berkeley Family,
A while back I was encouraged to pray over Scripture. For the last few years I have been praying Ephesians 3:20-21, first for when I was at Northwood Greenridge and now at Northwood Berkeley. God certainly answered those prayers over the last eight years or so at NBC Greenridge. The Lord has been at work at NBC Berkeley as well. I invite you once again to pray that God does FAR more abundantly BEYOND all we ask or can even THINK. God is that powerful and amazing! I want the Lord to do something in our midst that only He can get credit for.
Church replanting is not for the faint at heart . We can all find larger more established churches with more people, staff, and programs. Praise God for those larger churches A church replant like our congregation faces unique challenges but also incredible opportunities and blessings. You and your family have an opportunity to see God do something so impactful that it impacts generations here on earth and the ripple effects last into eternity.
This Sunday night we are back to our typical schedule. Kingdom Kids, Crave, and discipleship all meet Sunday at 6:00 pm.
