For all of our regular visitors, we are so glad that you are spending time in our community! We would like to invite you to attend our next Membership Exploration Class. This class is designed for people who are ready to join the church AND for people who would like to know more about what membership means but may not be ready to join. It is truly an opportunity to explore North Ave.
Please join us on Saturday, September 7 for dinner in a member’s home. At this dinner we will have a chance to get to know one another better along with some folks who are leaders in the church. Dinner is from 6:00-8:00, and children are welcome.
On Sundays September 8 and September 15, we will meet in the morning for breakfast before worship. Then we will spend time talking more about North Avenue’s mission, vision, your questions, and what we mean when we talk about membership. At the end of the class, on the 10th, those who are ready will have an opportunity to join the church. Almost every class has people who do not join, so feel free to come just where you are in the process.
If you are only able to make the first week of the class, please feel free to join in! You can catch the second week the next time that it comes around.

Women's Bible Study
2024-09-11 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-09-18 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-09-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Women’s Bible Study King Jesus:
Fulfilling the Law and the Prophets
A Two-Year Study of the Gospel of Matthew

From its very first verse, the Gospel of Matthew links Jesus to the Hebrew Scriptures, declaring him to be the Messiah (Christ) and connecting him to David and Abraham. Matthew’s Gospel is permeated by the Old Testament, containing approximately 50 direct quotations from the books of the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms. In many of these cases, Matthew states that Jesus in some way fulfilled what was spoken by a particular prophet. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus himself declared, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17, ESV)In order to thoroughly study the Gospel of Matthew, we are spreading it over two years. In 2024-25, we will study Jesus’ Galilean Ministry (Chapters 1-13) and in 2025-26, we will read about Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem (Chapters 14-28). In the first part of the study, we will learn about Jesus’ origins and the beginning of his ministry. We will study the Sermon on the Mount in depth, allowing us to ponder over living in Jesus’ kingdom. We will experience Jesus’ power over disease, nature, and even demonic forces as we read about three sets of three miracles. We will examine Jesus’ claims and the responses to them. Then we will conclude with seven parables of the kingdom.
We will once again hold two separate meeting times:
• Wednesday Evenings 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. via Zoom, starting on September 11
• Thursday Mornings 9:45 – 11:30 a.m. in person at NAPC, starting on September 12
