Harbor Happenings
Waters for FCHS Band Camp
Over the years, we’ve been blessed to build and maintain a meaningful relationship with First Coast High School—especially with its band program and director—and we’re excited to continue growing that connection.
Throughout the next few months, we’ll be collecting bottled water to help keep the band hydrated during their upcoming Band Camp and football season. It’s a simple way we can support these hardworking students as they prepare for the new school year.
Donations can be dropped off at the back of the Sanctuary. Please ask for help if you need assistance bringing in water from your car.
Bible Study & Prayer w/ Pastor Herbert
Wednesdays Starting August 19
6:30 PM – 8 PM
You’re invited to join us on Wednesday evenings for a simple time of worship, prayer, and Bible study led by Pastor Herbert. As our church continues to grow, these gatherings will also create opportunities for others to develop and use their gifts in teaching and leadership. The only thing you’ll need is your Bible!
GriefShare: Weekly Support Group
Wednesdays, August 19 – November 18
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. (Next Gen Building Room 101)

Women’s 10-Week Fall Bible Study:
The Book of Hebrews
Morning & Evening Options Available
Committing to Christ brings no guarantee of an easy life. In fact, staying faithful makes life harder in some ways. Yet it’s so worth it because Jesus Christ is better than anything. He’s a better redeemer, a better shepherd, a better ruler. And those who trust in him for salvation find fullness of joy now and forever.
Wednesday Nights (September 9th-November 18th) from 6:30-8pm | Led by Ellie Sullens & Molly White
Thursday Mornings (September 10th-November 12th) from 9:30-11am | Led by Katie Hinojos
Harbor Students: D-NOW Weekend
Friday-Saturday, September 18-20
We are so excited for our first-ever Disciple Now (DNOW) weekend at North Harbor Church!
This is an at-home retreat designed to refresh and recharge our Harbor Students (6th-12th grade) through worship, the Word, fellowship, and serving together. It gives them the opportunity to press pause on daily life to enjoy a weekend full of worship, powerful preaching sessions, and intimate small group gatherings. They will be spending time in host homes, at church, and also out on mission as they serve our city on Saturday afternoon!
Wherever students are in their faith journey, DNOW will help them to fix their eyes on Jesus and grow as disciples together alongside their fellow students and leaders! More info + registration below!
