We have a core value at NCC: expect the unexpected. We’re living it right now! Who could have guessed that Hurricane Hanna would blow into town right when we scheduled the Convoy of Hope. Craziness! We planned on doing the event rain or shine. But tropical storm? Long story short, we’ve been in contact with FEMA and HOMELAND SECURITY and they were very concerned about putting thousands of people in harm’s way once the wind starts really blowing. And it sounds like every other event has canceled. So here’s the scoop. We’re moving the Convoy of Hope to Sunday @ 10 AM.

I think we’ve gotten 973 messages on our phone line. It’s mass confusion. But all you can do is smile and embrace the chaos. So proud of our leadership team led by Joel Schmidgall. Making some incredibly difficult decisions!

We want to encourage NCCers to come to our 6:30 service @ Ebz on Saturday night so they can serve! And if you have to choose between “church” and Convoy it’s a no brainer! Serve at Convoy! It’s ironic that we call our “services” services. But the real “service” will be at RFK stadium. Let’s be the church!

Praying the Storm passes through quickly so we can bless the socks off of our community tomorrow. And maybe tomorrow is when the greatest need will be? Trusting that God’s timing is perfect.
