Our NCCS Varsity Volleyball team has had incredible success this season! They are currently in 4th place in Oregon, OSAA 1A (includes 75 teams)! Our team is now heading to State, and we hope you can will join us in supporting them in this accomplishment. Follow their rank and record and State playoff schedule. We will encourage them in a special send off on Thursday at 2:45 pm, with prayer and cheering as they leave for the tournament. GO SAINTS!

In an efffort to promote school spirit and encourage our community to join the team in Redmond Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4 and 5, we are closing school Friday (Nov. 4). At the site, in Redmond at Ridgefield High School, there are designated sections for each school. Let's fill our stands and show up in school colors!!!

We are nearly completed with the Campus Improvement Project, Phase 1. We have a list of what needs to be completed. Here is the list of the work which includes the "Music" and "400" buildings:

• INSTALL WINDOWS (ALREADY PURCHASED)

• REPAIR ANY STRUCTURAL DAMAGE

• REPLACE SIDING AND GUTTERS

• PAINT (INCLUDING LIBRARY)

• PURCHASE AND INSTALL HVAC UNITS

• UPDATE THE GYM BREEZEWAY

In order to fully complete the above list, we must raise $150,000. If you are able to give to the Campus Improvement Project, please use the QR code below, or checks are also accepted through our office. We would also welcome any efforts to share this need with others in your circle of influence. Questions or inquiries should be directed to Sherri James.

Thank you to those who have already given to this significant project. You are making a difference to the future of NCCS and its mission!

We are beginning a series, Raising Engaged Kids, available to us through RightNow Media. We will view one segment each month. Through this series we will discuss- How do we equip our kids to live authentic, meaningful, Christ-centered lives in a conventional world? RNM states that this series, "Deeply rooted in Christ-centered theology and backed up by insight from the largest and longest study of over 100,000 members of Generation Z, Raising Engaged Kids equips parents and caregivers with specific tools to see God work in and through our families.

In this 9-part series, you will receive specific and practical insight that will equip you to identify God's purpose for your role and provide you with principles and a process that will transform your parenting and provide you with new freedom and fulfillment as a parent."

If you can't regularly join us during this time, please take time to view the series on your own, as it is an exceptional resource. Every family in our community has access through NCCS to RightNow Media. This is an excellent resource for Bible studies, sermons, and Christian programming.Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in discipling your children.You can find the video series at https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/395510.
