Happy New Year for 2012 …

The end of 2011 is nigh, and we at NWCC would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing in all the events, services, and everything else that went on.

We will be having a service as normal on Sunday 1st January (10:30am, Weeke Community Centre), to which everyone is welcome.

If you have made a New Year’s resolution to get more spiritual in 2012, we would be honoured to travel with you on that journey, whether you are far along, or just wondering whether to even start. We believe that God’s gift of Jesus, that we celebrate at Christmas, really is the only way to make sense of life. At NWCC we learn more about Jesus together, we invite you to learn with us too.
