Church Camp Weekend

Published on by Angela Finet

We are planning the “All Church Camp Weekend” for September 27th-29th.  Stay all weekend, or come for a day.  Brethren Woods, in Keezletown, VA offers a beautiful, serene campground that is perfect for fellowship.

There is information on the table at the back of the Sanctuary including cost and activities, and we are taking reservations now!  This is a great trip for families.  We will have cabin, tent, and the A-frame lodging options available.  Please see Jackie Bear or Melanie Ali for additional information.

Community Prayer Time

How about some prayer?

This Saturday, August 10, from 10-11 am, we will be gathering in the sanctuary for a time of guided prayer.  All are welcome!  If you are uncomfortable praying out loud, come anyway.  Your presence is prayerful.

If you have a personal need for yourself or a friend/family member, or a prayer request for the community, nation or world, here is your chance to enlist the prayers of others.  Please send your prayer request by noon on Friday to pastor@nokesvillecob.org, and we will add your request to our prayer list.

May your soul find peace in the asking.
