Help the CCO

The Christian Community Outreach (CCO) is an independent, helping organization founded in 2010 by Pastor David Sherman (Salvation Army), Pastor Rod Marshall (WHCC) and Pastor Tom Brown (NHCF) to meet the critical needs of people in short-term crises: eviction, utility turn-offs, home and vehicle failures, medical needs, and odd contingencies not helped otherwise. We need board members, interviewers, representatives and fundraisers.

Easter Choir Practice

Our Easter Choir is practicing after church worship each Sunday now until Easter. Please consider joining them. Giving your voice to song is one way of serving the Lord, who  "dwells in the praises of His people."


The Winter Doldrums

Yes, winter storms have shut down some of our church meetings. Don't get discouraged. We try to keep you in-formed as to meeting statuses. Be wise and safe by all means, but marginal weather should not keep you from church.

Keep praying for the revival that's erupting across our nation.

Donate to the Building Fund

The new addition will cost upwards of $180,000. Thanks to many, dedicated NHCF people, we have a large percentage of that amount saved; however, your prayerful support is needed along the way to complete it. Designate your gift to "the building fund."
DONATE TO THE NHCF Building Fund; the project is on the way!
Thanks.

Life's Stream


Life is like a river, flowing ever onward to the sea. From moment to moment we witness the passing of waves of water never to be seen again. It is both the sadness of our lives as our friends and relatives pass on, and it's the joy of life, as each new wave offers new relationships and opportunities.
It's much like the movie "Groundhog Day," where Bill Murray must live the same day over and over again until he gets it right.

We're all caught up in this . Whether animal, bird, or loved one, time and chance wait for none. Solomon was right when he wrote: "...There is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun" (Eccles.8.15).

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, is a bit negative in Ecclesiastes.
He is an earthman after all, a realist. Yet, life, even in the flowing river rushing by us, has its benefits. Our challenge is that of faith. In the midst of conflict and sadness, we are taught by Jesus "to seek His kingdom and His righteousness" (Matt. 6.33). We are taught to "fix our eyes on Him," and to "overcome by His blood (the word of the cross) and the good that He's given to us" (Heb.12.2; Rev.12.11).

Life's stream has its source, even as the river in the wilderness. High up in the mountains, up where the snow gathers and where the springs are born, there is a beginning. The beginning is God. "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together" (Col.1.17).

"And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb" (Rev.22.1).
