Sundays at Northwest Community Church

Every Sunday morning a group of incredibly efficient volunteers shows up early so that Northwest Community Church is able to host our worship services in the gym of the Bella Vista Boys and Girls Club on Forest Hills Blvd in Bella Vista, AR. What originally took us several hours is now down to a precise 50 minute process. These guys run like clockwork and make Sundays so much fun. Here's a glimpse of how we do church on Sunday mornings

• The truck and trailer pull into the parking lot at 8:00am sharp
• Setup is completed by 8:50am
• Band does sound check until 9:15am
• Our team has a time of prayer until 9:30am
• We are ready to greet people and share a cup of coffee before worship at 10am

Here is how it all works...

Communion

This coming Sunday Northwest Community Church will host our very first communion service. We are excited to celebrate what Christ has done for each of us individually and what he has done for our church corporately. In addition this Sunday we will start a new 5 week series on the 10 commandments which will allow us to see the character behind a loving God who desires a relationship with everyone. Through out this series we will begin to see that God's rules are not a condition for a relationship...Rather they are a confirmation that a relationship already exists. It's the kind of teaching series which could transform your entire view of God and his plan for your life. Invite your friends and don't miss out.

Days of Service

The past two days have been wonderful days of service in the life our new church plant. The entire launch team of Northwest Community Church is grateful for the support, encouragement, and hard work of the students at Walnut Street Baptist Church in Louisville, KY. They completed service projects at two different Boys and Girls Clubs in Benton County, hosted a free (no donations accepted) car wash in the Bella Vista town center, and last night helped our church present Screen on the Green as we invited the entire community to a free outdoor family movie night. The ten students from Walnut Street managed to wash between 160-170 cars in a 4 hour time period! We literally almost caused traffic problems. It was so funny to see the look on people's faces when we refused to accept their donations and explained to them that we simply wanted to serve the community in the name of Christ with no strings attached. People were almost uncomfortable with the idea of receiving something for free. Servant evangelism truly is one of the most effective ways Christ followers are able to win over people's attitude towards Christ and his church. Our prayer is that people will be drawn to our church as a result of our serving spirit.

As Walnut Street travels home today, please pray for their safe travels. I am completely humbled by their commitment and willingness to serve in the name of Christ. In addition, I am spurred on by their example and pray that one day Northwest can encourage other local churches in the same way.
