1. Our 2026 Mission Fund budget is $200,000. Faith pledge cards will be received through the end of 2025. As of last SUN, 138 pledge cards have been returned, totaling $201,737 in commitments. You may give your pledge card to an usher after the worship service or submit it online at [https://www.nrac.ca/forms-bulletins/mission-pledge-card].

2. Celebrate the joy of Christmas morning with your NRAC family at our Special Combined Christmas Day Service on THURS, DEC 25 @11AM. This will be a family worship service, where parents and children join together to celebrate the birth of Jesus. No separate children’s program will be offered that day. If childcare needs arise, parents may make their own arrangements. For more information, please contact the church office.

3. Join us SAT, JAN 3, from 9AM-1:30PM for our annual 2026 Leaders Retreat. The cost is $10 per person (please bring exact change). Please register with your department elder or contact the church office by DEC 28 so we can prepare materials and lunch for everyone.

4. Parking Reminder ~ To help ensure enough parking for the afternoon Children & Family Worship and Adult Worship services, please move your vehicle after the morning service before going out for lunch. Your cooperation helps us make space for everyone. Thank you!

5. It is with great sadness that we announce that NRAC member, Wai Sin Mak, passed away last week. Our deepest condolences to her family and prayers for God's peace and comfort to surround them during this difficult time.
