Naz Family Church

This Sunday - Now What? Have you ever come to the end of a great book or t.v. series and thought, “Now what? Where do I go from here? What will be the next great experience in life?” Christmas can feel a little bit like that. With all the build up and excitement, once the presents are opened and the decorations put away, we’re sometimes left with wondering where we go from here. We can sometimes find ourselves standing in that same space in our spiritual journey as well. Join us this Sunday as we discover our Now What as followers of Jesus.
