*Next week is our Church's 20th Birthday! Come to worship prepared to celebrate, remember and give thanks for where God has brought this community. After worship we will celebrate with cake and ice cream, swapping memories and opening gifts to the church. You can contribute to the celebration by bringing the Church practical birthday gifts like coffee, copy paper and handsoap. A complete "Wish List" is in the newsletter which was mailed out at the end of last week or you can visit the website.
*The Northwood Food Pantry shelves are nearly bare! The Missions Committee is asking the congregation to bring in non- perishable food items during the month of October. A box will be located in Fellowship Hall for your donations. Let*s help re- stock those shelves as the colder weather will soon be here making it even more difficult for so many of our Northwood residents. Many thanks from the Missions Committee!
*The NH Conference Women's Fellowship will hold a retreat October 17 and 18 in Wolfboro. Gayle Murphy will be the retreat leader, and the theme this year is "What does God require of Women today?" The cost of the retreat is $60.00 for overnight stay and four meals. If you think you might like to go to this retreat, please contact Gayle Murphy. There has been an offer to provide two full scholarships to the Retreat, so please don't let money issues keep you from attending!
*Centering prayer is peaceful and quiet and it allows us to invite God*s presence and open ourselves to grow in relationship with God. There is a group who meets for Centering prayer on Wednesday mornings at 8:00 am in Fellowship Hall. The prayer time lasts 30 minutes. Anyone is welcome.
