Operation Backpack 2008 will be our first time at NHC to try this most excellent outreach to the community. For the past month or so church members have been bringing in school supplies to give to families in need for the new school year. Recently some other churches and local businesses have gotten on board. We are excited to see how this year's OP BKPK turns out. I believe this is going to grow into an awesome yearly outreach event for NHC and the community of churches on the OBX.
Today was backpack awareness Sunday and many of our members and regular attenders wore backpacks to church today. We had a competition for the best backpack in each service. It was super sweet when a "mature" churchgoer stood up and was wearing this awesome backpack on his back:
It's fun when we church folk "get it" and get on board!
