Vacation Bible School
We were unable to participate in Vacation Bible School this summer, but look forward to seeing everyone again in 2023!
Church Retreat
Every summer we organize a church retreat to various parks or retreat centers in the area. We gather for a special worship service followed by a potluck meal.
Michiana Mennonite
Relief Sale
In September, NGMC participates in the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale by running the Pie Booth each year in the Quilt Auction building at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds. Volunteers from NG as well as many other churches in our region donate homemade pies which are then sold with ice cream during Friday night and Saturday of the Relief Sale. This year's Relief Sale is scheduled for September 23-24, 2022.
Christmas Drama
In December we hold a Christmas Drama at the church featuring children from the congregation and the community as they sing and act out a drama related to or about the birth of Jesus. Everyone is invited to come see the pageant and enjoy refreshments with us afterward.
