Christmas at NorthPoint

Tuesday, December 24, 2024
Following Services at 2:00, 3:30 & 5:00 PM

Stay following each of our Christmas Eve Services and join us for treats and hot chocolate in the Commons area. We’ll also have photo booths available to get the “perfect” holiday picture with your friends and family!

We’re excited to launch this year’s Give Initiative and make an impact in God’s kingdom, both locally and globally.

What is the Give Initiative?
It’s a time when we ask the people of NorthPoint to slow down, invest in others, and consider giving generously in ways that will transform lives here and around the world. Since it was launched in 2016, the Give Initiative has raised nearly $1 Million. This year, we’re focusing two big initiatives:

global
Help us raise $15,000 - $20,000. We’ll help repair a vehicle for one of our mission partners and also donate to the Medical Ambassadors Foundation in Albania. This organization is adding and training team members who will focus on healing broken communities, transforming lives, and creating disciples in mainly Islamic areas.

Local
Help us raise $55,000 to support local partners. These include the Johnston Partnership, Urbandale Food Pantry, Agape Pregnancy Center, and Grimes Storehouse. Families are being changed in Central Iowa because of your generosity to the Give Initiative! Click below to hear how your donations are helping fathers step up to lead.

We believe God has blessed us, so we are able to bless others in return. If you’d like to donate to this year’s Give Initiative, click below.

The world around us is bustling with activity in advance of Christmas, and you no doubt have items to cross off your list, too. But we encourage you to slow down and savor what this season is all about. Let’s prepare for the coming of Jesus together. Each day through Christmas, we will bring you an Advent devotional, meant to help you look to Jesus in this busy season. We hope you’ll spend time each day meditating on Scripture, reflecting on the questions, and praying to our Heavenly Father.

Share the love and hope of Jesus

Luke 2:8-12
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
