2011 Israel Tour
North Central's Watchmen on the Wall ministry
has put together a guided tour of Israel for March
of 2011. The trip is open to anyone who wants
to go. They have secured the top-rated tour guide
for last few years and it is going to be a very
special trip. The cost is $2999 per person which
is all-inclusive (includes airfare, lodging, food,
taxes, fees, etc. Pastor Larry and Debbie
and Rev. Joe and Sue Wilson will be attending
as well and sharing at the various sites from
the Bible. For more information, pick up an Information
Sheet at the Events Table or sign up at the Events
Table and someone will contact you.
Bible Study Classes
Are you involved in a Bible Study class? It's
a great way to grow in Christ and make good friends
in the process. We urge you to consider getting
involved and be a part of one of of our excellent
classes. They meet every Sunday at 10:15am. Check
out what's available here.
Missions Project
Our new missions project for 2010 is "Northern
Asia." We are partnering with Life Publishers,
BGMC and Light for the Lost to help impact the
house church movement in Northern Asia with the
gospel of Christ. It is estimated that there are
130 million Christian believers scattered throughout
Northern Asia in house churches of all sizes.
They have a great need for sound, Biblical teaching,
and we have the opportunity to be DifferenceMakers
by investing in their success. This project will
impact the masses. Will you help? If so, stop
by the Welcome Center in the Foyer and pick up
a pledge card, fill it out, and let the Lord lead
you in how much you can contribute. Please mark
your check or envelope "Northern Asia."
God will bless you for your efforts!
Building Fund
We are excited about the future of North Central.
We are growing in numbers and reaching more and
more people for Jesus Christ. As we continue to
grow, we look to the future to add more buildings
to our campus which will allow us to better meet
the needs of our congregants and reach more people
in this community. A few months ago, after much
time and prayer, God gave our leadership the Vision
for our final campus (you can see it in the Foyer
near the Welcome Center or click here). Now we
need the finances. Although construction is becoming
increasingly more costly, we are believing God
to provide what we need to see this Vision come
to fruition...and He will as He's already done
time and time again. We pray you will "Catch
the Vision" and be a part by giving a special
offering toward it. Mark your envelopes "Building
Program" and it will be sure to find it's
place. Thank you in advance for all you do and,
with God's help, we will see it come to pass in
the near future!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
UPDATED
7-29-2010
Faithfully Fit Update
Paul said in
1 Cor. 10:19 that our bodies are the "temple
of the Holy Ghost," so it is important that
we do our best to maintain them for His glory.
With that said, this group was created to provide
support for those who are dieting or just trying
to maintain their weight. Their meetings consist
of a private weigh in and motivational speakers.
To date, they have lost over 200 lbs. PTL! Everyone
is welcome to attend.
P-12 Romania Missions
Trip
Our P-12 group is selling auto service gift certificates
for half price to raise money for their
upcoming Missions Trip. Services available are

valued at $140 (5 GC's) and a pre-paid "Oil
Change" valued at $69.95 from Green &

the church office for more information.
Active Duty Soldiers
Display Board
If you have a family member who is actively serving
in US Armed Forces, we would like to invite you
to submit a photo to be displayed on a special
board in the Foyer so we as a church can commit
them to prayer on a regular basis. Please submit
all photos to the church office. Thank you.
Mother Daughter Banquet
Pictures
If you would
like to order pictures from the Mother Daughter
Banquet or have any questions concerning them,
please contact Jackie Richardson at (281) 350-4142
or jackier37@hotmail.com.
Baby Furniture Needed
The Pregnancy Assistance Center North (PACN
- in The Woodlands) is in need of baby furniture
items such as cribs, bassinets, high chairs, swings,
safety gates, etc. If you would like to donate
any of these items, please contact their main
office at 281.367.1518.
Holy Grounds Coffee
Shop
One of the things people seem to love the most
about our new facility here in Spring is our Holy
Grounds Coffee Shop. Most everyone loves the aroma
of coffee brewing and the ability to order and
enjoy premium coffee drinks and sweets. We are
blessed to have such a benefit available but it
does take volunteers to make it run smoothly.
We are thankful for those who give of themselves
to serve in this ministry but they can always
use additional help. If you would be interested
in learning more, stop by and sign up on the clipboard
at the coffee shop or contact Roger Luther at
roger.luther@yahoo.com. It will be greatly appreciated
and the Lord will bless you for it!
"Special Delivery
Meals" Ministry
Having a new baby is a wonderful blessing
to any family but can make things around the home
a little more difficult during the transition
period. Sometimes, families just need a little
help while they learn how to adjust for that new
precious life. "Special Delivery Meals"
is a ministry to do just that, assist families
with new children with meals for a couple of weeks
while they work out "the kinks." If
you enjoy cooking and would like to be a blessing
to a family in need, be a part of this special
ministry. For information on how to get involved,
contact Cassie Minihan at 832-794-9933 or flick.cassie@yahoo.com.
Not only will it be a blessing to a family in
need, it will bless you!
DVD / CD Sales Procedure
If you would like to purchase a DVD or CD
of a service, fill out an order envelope located
on the back of the seat in front of you, place
your payment inside, and put it in the offering
or in the wall slot located in opposite the restrooms.
Additional order envelopes are available at the
Welcome Center. Thanks.
Jail Ministry
America's jail system is excellent soil for sowing
seeds of the gospel. There is a great harvest
among inmates who find themselves hopeless and
without peace. As Christians, we have the answer
to the void in their hearts, Jesus Christ. If
anyone interested in being a part of such a jail
ministry and would like more information, please
sign up at the Events Table or contact Joe Kovacs
at 936-537-1872.
Spanish Translation
Ministry
North Central has a Spanish translation ministry.
If you or a family member needs this service,
stop by the Welcome Center in the Foyer and check
out a headset. This will only be offered in the
Sunday 11:15am service only. For more information,
contact the church office.
