Are you looking for a fun and healthy way to spend some time after church? Why not bring a lunch, have a little tailgate and go for a hike afterwards?

Hiking is a great way to get some exercise, enjoy nature, and recharge your batteries with great people. You can enjoy some delicious food, cold drinks, and great company while basking in the afterglow of another great sermon…well, at least there’s great company.

We’ll meet up at Puslinch Tract Conservation Area.

No registration is necessary.

Fall Tailgate Party

Who doesn’t love a Tailgate Party?! Who doesn’t love Fall things?! We’re merging the two to make a Fall Tailgate Party.

Tailgate Parties are when you park and open the rear hatch, tailgate, whatever your vehicle’s got. You pull out your lawn chairs, BBQ, food and enjoy hanging out with friends. We’re going to add Carve Your Own Pumpkins and some fall fun games to make this a Fall Tailgate Party.

What you need to know:

  • Bring your own food, BBQ, lawn chairs, blankets - whatever you need to make this as comfortable as possible. If you don’t have a portable BBQ ask a friend or bring a picnic.

  • Bring your pumpkin and any carving utensils.

Thank-you Siderman Inc for allowing NLF to use your parking lot.

How do I sign-up my child for Nursery?

Rest assured that your child's information will not appear in the NLF church directory.

2) September 10th and each Sunday thereafter, you need to check-in your baby/toddler BEFORE the service starts at the desk in the lobby, just like we do for all children who are part of Sunday School (where you will get a name label printed out for your child and a security label for yourself).

When do the children go to Nursery?

Bring your child(ren) to the nursery after worship ends, when the older children are dismissed for Sunday School.

Where is the Nursery?

The Nursery is located in the lounge near the chapel on the upper level.
