Book Club: The First Advent in Palestine
2025-11-09 09:00 - 10:15 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
As we prepare to enter the Advent season—a season of waiting for God to appear in a world marked by troubled times—let’s journey back to that first advent in the land of Palestine. As we do, I think we’ll find a deeper understanding of what that first advent was like, as well as resonances with the troubled times of today. The world of the first advent was marked by injustice, fear, and resistance. Kelley Nicondeha brings that world to life in her book, The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexity of Hope. Join us for a Sunday morning class as we read through the book together, engage in practices to connect us to that complex and audacious hope, and find God in the midst of our own advent season.
The group will meet on the following Sundays…
11/9, 11/16, 11/23, 11/30, 12/7

NHUnited Finance 101: Our 2026 Budget
Have you ever wondered how financial decisions get made at the church?
Are you curious about how much your offerings and financial donations support our budget? Or do you have an idea you’d like to share with us that would be great for us to do if we only had the funds?
If you answered yes to any of these, then you might be interested in our NHUnited Budget 101 info session! Right after church we will meet in the Social Hall to share with you the financial side of all that we do here at NHUnited Church. You will hear briefly about our financial structure, some of our future projects we hope to work on and some of our early hopes for our 2026 budget.
If you are curious in the least about our finances and budget, you are welcome to come learn more! This session will be less than an hour and will give you a great overview of our financial picture and values as reflected in our budget work and future planning. Hope to see you there!
