Help us bring hope to our community this Christmas season!

Advent Adventure is an opportunity for NCC families to demonstrate generosity and to be a blessing to our community throughout the Christmas season. Each campus has different ways to participate which allows us to have a broad impact on community organizations and local families.

Campus Specific Opportunities

We have many ways you can participate. Visit the Advent Adventure area in the lobby to choose the opportunities that work best for you and your family.

Boxes of Hope

An Advent Adventure Opportunity

We have the opportunity to provide hope to families in our community. Boxes of Hope provides food for local families during Christmas Break while the children are not receiving breakfast and lunch at school. 

Thank you for your generosity!

Instructions:

Please pick up a box from the church lobby and, using the included shopping list, fill it with the items on the list. This is a great way to teach your children about being generous to others. 

Please return the boxes to NCC no later than Sunday, December 14 so they can be distributed to the families.

PLEASE NOTE:
It is important that only the items on the list are purchased for the box. We want each box to be the same so each family receives the same amount of food. lf one box is overflowing and a neighbor's is "not-so-overflowing," this is a difficult situation to explain.
