Small Group Connection

Ten Secrets for the Man in the MirrorConnection, Bible study, encouragement, growth, celebration, prayer - these are all elements of authentic Christian community. This is small group life.

Small groups meet at various times and locations around Richmond to meet the needs of marketplace people. Mutual study and encouragement lead to a deeper understanding of who God is and how we can live pleasing to Him.


New Small Groups! 
There are 10 new NEM Small Groups forming in various locations in Richmond - just in time for spring.  Now is the time to get connected!  If you are interested in learning more about NEM Small Groups, download the FAQ sheet.  You may also complete small group preference form online and once submitted, Lisa Rattner, Small Group Coordinator, will contact you about possible groups that may match your preferences.
Spring Giving On-line
NEM Online GivingWhile statistics show that over 40% of on-line giving is done in December, a growing number of faith-based, not-for-profits are experiencing an increase in on-line giving from donors this spring.  "The stock market is improving and donors are feeling better.  They want to help make a difference now rather than waiting until the end of the year, and making the gift on-line is easy and fast," is a phrase often heard among development professionals these days.

Maybe you've been praying about supporting Needle's Eye and wondering how to do it in an easy way...why not try making a gift of $1,000, $500, or $100 on-line?  Just click here to make a one-time or recurring gift on-line.  Thank you so much for your  prayers and on going support.  We are humbled by your involvement.

P.S.- of course you can also continue to give in your normal way as well.
