21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
2023-01-09 | CA, United States
January 9-29, 2023
Northpark is committed to beginning the new year with 21 days of prayer and fasting. This spiritual practice helps us begin our new year with a focus on God and what he wants for us individually and as a church.
Many churches in the Fresno and Clovis area have also committed to this practice as well and we are excited to partner with them for our Fasting events.
For more information about what fasting is all about and the nightly fasting services, see our resources at northparkchurch.org/fasting

Every night during the 21 days of Prayer and Fasting there will be a service hosted by a different church allowing us to experience the depth and diversity of congregations across our community while acknowledging that we are One Church.
These services will be available online or in person, will incorporate prayer and worship, and are a great opportunity for the Church of Fresno/Clovis to gather together in unity.
We invite you to join us for 1, or 2, or all 21 as we pray for our community and believe God together for powerful results throughout 2022 and beyond. You will be encouraged, and you will be an encouragement to others as well!

Women's Bible Study: The Armor of God
2023-02-21 18:30 - 20:00 | Northpark Community Church, 2297 E. Shepherd Ave., Fresno, CA, 93720, United States
Women’s Tuesday Night Bible Study
The Armor of God
**Final session will meet on Thursday, April 6 instead of April 4
February 21 – April 4, 2023
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Northpark Community Church
Facilitated by Robyn Scroggins
Ladies, join us for this 7 week study from best-selling Author Priscilla Shirer:
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
Childcare is provided.
Workbooks will be available for purchase at the first session.
For more information, call the church office or email info@northparkcc.org

I look forward to sharing with you about how God has given me a desire to build relationships with people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds with the ultimate goal of sharing the hope and good news of Jesus to those who do not know him.

Discover the pathway to a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Revisit the covenant you made and live out your calling as a couple, believing that God’s best for your marriage is yet to come.

No matter where you are in your marriage your marriage will benefit as you…

Rediscover the covenant you made and live out your calling as a couple.
Invest in your relationship with your spouse while growing in your relationship with Christ.
Equip your marriage to thrive in each new stage of marriage.
Dig deeper into Scripture and your marriage relationship alongside other couples—encouraging, supporting, and learning together as a community.

The 7 Rings of Marriage Bible Study was created to encourage you to apply what you’re learning. Opportunities for discussion, practical steps to take, and even date night ideas are covered.
