In a globalized society, nuclear family members often live and work at a distance from each other. NCC provides an "adopted" family for its worshippers.

 

Without intruding, we keep track of each other: especially the sick, those who have lost loved ones, those facing special challenges, and the frail.

 

We have coffee and sometimes brunch together after church, we share lunch on Tuesdays, women hold a monthly prayer breakfast, there is a special fall gathering-in celebration, we decorate together for Christmas, and - of course - there are periodic "potlucks."
