Come hang out with me at our January Lab!

As part of our current teaching series, Forrest is leading our next NC Lab—”Why Don’t They Get It?": Repairing Relationships by Overcoming Bias”. If you’re looking for practical tips on how to repair broken relationships, join us for a highly interactive evening of discussion and learning together. Our labs are laid back, authentic environments created for people of all backgrounds.

In the 2nd Century a Jesus follower named Papylus was executed by being burned alive for his faith. While he was being questioned by officials he said,

“I am a Christian. There is nothing I can say which is greater or more wonderful than this.”

The scarcest resource in life is not time, energy, or love. It's attention.

Succumbing to distractions is a decision to lower your cognitive, emotional, and social intelligence.

Concentration is a precious commodity. Your most important priorities deserve your undivided focus.
(Adam Grant)

Today was a blast!!!

Don’t miss an opportunity to add value to the place we call home!

**December 5th is the last day to donate Christmas Store toys!**

Drop your donations off at Neighborhood Church, or purchase a gift online here: https://amzn.to/3luiwBn

The Christmas Store is an annual event where we partner with low-income parents to provide brand new gifts for their children. Gifts are donated by the church and parents get to come purchase their gifts at reduced prices (90% off retail), wrap them, and take them home to give to their children on Christmas morning. This is a great opportunity to be FOR Visalia!

This will be 90 minutes you won’t want to miss. A great investment in your own growth! I hope to see you tomorrow!

**Time is running out to get registered for our next NC Lab tomorrow evening!**

Doubt is a normal part of every faith journey. It’s something we should acknowledge and talk about. That’s exactly what we’re going to do at our next NC Lab. We’re calling it Losing Faith: Why it Happens and What to Do About It. We’ve invited our friend, Joshua Ryan Butler—a pastor, author, blogger, and Christian thinker—to come lead a conversation on doubt and deconstruction. If you or someone you know is struggling with faith right now, or if you’d just like to explore the topic further, come hang out with us.

NC Labs are discussion-based, interactive environments we host each month as a way of staying connected and growing together. Check out the details below!
