Do you ever want to give up? Perhaps you wonder if God actually hears your prayers or if hoping in the goodness of God is really worth it. Maybe you have spent the last season being moved in big ways by God but you find yourself tired as you enter the New Year. Well, good news! Jesus knew you would be in this place and He has words of encouragement for you. Join us as we discover how Jesus’ call to prayer is an invitation to not give up.

Everyday we battle the distractions that fight for our attention and communication. God gives us prayer as communication with Him; to listen and speak candidly with our Father. We also have the discipline of fasting, which is the practice of denying ourselves food (or other common items) for a defined period of time, in order to elevate our reliance on God. During the week of Prayer & Fasting, we encourage you to engage with us by following along in our Prayer & Fasting Guide (see our daily prayer prompts).

Kick off the Week of Prayer and Fasting as we focus on praying individually and collectively with each other. This is a great way to step into the New Year and be encouraged in seeking God’s will for ourselves and our wingspan.

Over the next year, we invite you to read through the ENTIRE Bible with us as we seek to discover God’s character. The Bible Recap comes in several forms—book, podcast, or video. Each day’s Bible reading is approximately 12 minutes long and each recap is about 8 minutes long. Everything you need to get started is on our website. You can READ, UNDERSTAND, and LOVE the Bible!

Join us for Ridge Connect where you can learn more about NRC, discover ways to get involved and connect with other people from NRC. Please sign up individually each person attending. We will meet in the conference room at 10:15am with lunch to follow in the cafe!

Are you looking for your next step? Join a small group and discover what God has for your life alongside other like-minded individuals. It is too easy to just know who God is without knowing who He is to you! Maturing towards Christ-centered wholeness is done best in community and being a part of a small group is a way to be intentional about your maturing process. Join some of your church family this semester in taking your next step towards Christ-centered wholeness.
