November 30 is the first Sunday of Advent.

This season of expectation is a beautiful paradox: the Maker of man, made man, who shines light in our world when all other lights go out.

This Advent season, NSF sermons will focus on Matthew 1 and 2, where the Son of God enters into the world in a way that few would have expected: born to a virgin, to poor parents, in a stable, not a palace.

NSF Advent Devotional Guide available November 23

This 25-day Advent Devotional Guide is a collection of past NSF guides written by familiar authors: congregants you see weekly, plus some who have moved away or passed away. These devotions will encourage us to align our hearts and minds with this season of waiting and good news.

For Children

Children get an Advent map for the fridge! Kids will help magnet figures travel through Matthew 1 and 2 every day along with the church, and kids will get a special note every day via email.
