Two great reminders for this week! 1) Don’t forget to join the Northwest community church meet up at www.nccmeetup.org 2) Don’t miss out on the return of Scott Burnett this coming Sunday, leading worship at NCC! Scott was our worship leader for 7 1/2 years – we are all in for a treat!

Don't forget this coming Sunday's service with SCOTT BURNETT!!!! Scott Burnett, Lee Haldorsen, Don Garberg, John Pletsch and Davin McLaird will be returning on 2/17/19 to lead worship: Scott is pulling a Jake and Elwood and bringing the band back together! Scott was our Worship leader for about 7.5 years, and it’ll be a really exciting throwback for our worship set. Hope you can join us this Sunday February 17th at NCC!

Presented with love! A beautiful poem. "Thank You, Lee and Sue" By Janine Graves “Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding” - (Jeremiah 3:15) I still remember her, A two decade-ago sermon on confession. Your gracious pleading yet commanding invitation “Come to the front”. She ran into you like you were home base. And I sat stunned, a newcomer, a believer with scars. I watched the tension drain from her As you held and hugged and prayed. What was it? …“it’s His kindness that leads to repentance”. I just sat there, didn’t move, couldn’t ‘til Tuesday As a hundred lies I had believed about God: God of the last chance God of the gotcha God who is austere and cold and far away shattered In the redemption of that moment For her And for me. We all have a story, a crossing over. The visitor becomes a congregant, Stranger discovers home. For nearly 40 years, you’ve pastored a church Where kindness guards the door And humility stands upfront. Presenting sermon after sermon, Illustrations of God’s vastness and Personhood. The Father heart of God – His relentless tenderness A heaping bowl of grapes – His abundance Retelling the Passover Story through the imagined musings of a donkey – (OK, not sure about that one!) Forgiveness, power, money, marriage Taking a real rest – “learning the unforced rhythms of grace” And Ephesians, always ….er… often Ephesians! “How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” Decades of wisdom, humor and care, A burden you’ve shouldered and cherished No matter what. When cancer gripped a hand on your throat, When embarrassment burrowed marrow-deep, When life was unmoored by sorrow Still leading, still caring, still interceding. Through our times of scraped down devastation Your voice wearing a cardigan and choked with tears Gently bearing witness ‘Til we could breathe again. And when life exploded in color: Weddings, baptisms, baby dedications, multi-decade anniversaries Potlucks - where taste buds sing an aria Karaoke and limbo and Hawaiian dancing Your wife by your side. Her enchanting laughter That curves around and enfolds Through tea parties, Downton Abbey soirees, playful skits With an abundance of vivacity honed long before ever becoming a pastor’s wife Eyes that sparkle with adventure and, perhaps, a touch of mischief! Special tenderness for children, mothers, missionaries and beyond. So many years, such good life I concede that I struggle with this loss More numb than I want to be A reluctance to grieve … and, thus, make it real I think of the broken bodied prayer giants we’ve lost Hiroko and Buck, who now surely know, in the words of CS Lewis, “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind”. Yet, even in the fog of closure, There’s a clarity that wraps around all of us. The breath of NCC has warmed our lives. The swell of friendship, Open-handed generosity, Unadulterated guidance. We love you Lee and Sue We honor you for 39 ½ years The tireless example we carry forth Our connections, our community now far and wide With weighty gratitude We thank you.

The date was set. Plans were hatched. Ministry was prepared. Excitement brewed. Then the snows came. Fear and uncertainty grew. And then... Against the forecast, the snow abated. The clouds parted. The sun came out and shone brightly. Light streamed down on Bothell. The roads were cleared. People came. The seats were filled. Music played. Emotions swelled and tears welled. Poetry soared. Memories rang out. The choir brought a chorus of melody and harmony. Old friends reconnected. People ate and drank and laughed. We CELEBRATED. Thank you from NCC to all who came today to honor 39.5 years of legacy, and to honor Pastor Lee and Sue Bennett and our church family. Stand by for the full video from today's service, as well as the slideshow video, Janine’s poem, and the family and candid photos! AND! Don't forget to join our family Meetup at www.nccmeetup.org, and like and share this post!

"Where are you going to go?" That's a common refrain heard in our halls now. It's about the future. Where will we go? Who will we choose to fellowship with? Where will we put down church roots? Share freely here your thoughts and plans for where you might choose to attend, for those who may wish to join you at your new church home, or vice versa.
