2026 "I Will Follow" Reading Plan
As we begin 2026, we invite you to join our year-long Scripture Reading Plan centered on the theme “I Will Follow.” Each month, we’ll explore the life of a biblical character whose story shows what it truly means to follow God with trust, obedience, and surrender.
The plan includes a short monthly introduction and three to four Scripture passages designed to be approachable, reflective, and formative—helping us grow together as disciples of Jesus.
📖 Access the reading plan at nmp.church by clicking NMPC Reading Plan, or through the NMP.Church App.

VBS 2026
6/27/26
Palisades Park, NJ
After learning how to trust Jesus in this wild world, now it's time to explore the nature and character of God! We excitedly invite all of our friends in our Mercy Minis and Mercy Kids ministries to our annual Vacation Bible School event! We will enjoy a day-long affair together at our usual worship space.
Included in the day will be a special time for parents to come for family worship, prayer, and early dinner. We ask that parents drop off by 10:30AM and return to join us at 3PM!
To ensure that we prepare enough food, T-shirts, and activities, please be sure register all participating children.
When you register, select the number of tickets based on the number of children you will be sending. We also encourage our members to invite family & friends with children (who turned two years old by 9/30/25 through current 5th graders) to join us!
The Lord loves our children and commands us to be a community that grows with them, so our Sunday worship services as well as our annual VBS event are great opportunities for all of us to step into this calling. Please join our staff and volunteers in prayer as we prepare for this important time of ministry. May God open hearts, renew minds, and bless the next generation of God's people as they grow deeper in their knowledge of their Father in Heaven! (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)

Sermon
Shapes & Sizes - "Mary Magdalene"
Speaker
Kee Won Huh
Corporate Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We live in a world that constantly tells us to make a name for ourselves, to be noticed, to be influential, to prove that our lives matter. And yet when we look at Mary Magdalene, we see something different. We see a woman who simply loved Jesus. She stayed near him. She served him. She remained faithful when others walked away.
Lord, help us become that kind of people. Give us hearts that are more concerned with loving Jesus than being impressive. Help us to stay close to you not only when life is going well, but also when we are confused, disappointed, grieving, or afraid.
Thank you for the ways you have rescued each of us. Thank you for your patience, your forgiveness, and your grace. Keep us from forgetting what you have done for us. And may our devotion to you grow not out of guilt or obligation, but out of gratitude and love.
This week, help us to be faithful in the ordinary things—to show up, to serve, to encourage, to pray, and to keep following Jesus one step at a time. And as we do, make our lives a quiet testimony to the goodness of our Savior.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
