Annual Meeting: The Church’s Annual meeting will be held after worship on Sunday, June 6. This is an important meeting, and in order to conduct our business, we need a quorum to be present. The Envisioning Committee will present its results to the Congregation, the Nominating Slate will be voted into office, the By-Laws Changes will be voted in, and the Budget will be accepted for the next fiscal year. If you are a member it is important that you understand the work of this church and that you are present to have your voice heard. Annual Reports and the proposed budget will be available ahead of time for you to review.
Next Sunday: A number of the students who went to El Salvador with Gayle will be present to lead our worship service next Sunday.
Communion Offering: is to support Heifer Project International, which provides farm animals to people throughout the world. Each Sunday in May, our children will be working in Sunday School to learn about Heifer Project and to make crafts which they will sell during the first two Sundays in June. Also on sale will be special Fair Trade Green Mountain coffee. Green Mountain Coffee and Heifer Project have paired to help coffee growers become more sustainable by finding crops they can sell in the off season. The money which comes in for the Mission Offering will be paired with the kids’ craft sale proceeds to buy as many animals as we can. (Please note: when making checks to support Mission giving, make them payable to NCC, with Mission in the Memo section, so that the funds can be properly tracked and then allocated to that Mission.)
Church Care Day: is May 22nd from 8am until 1pm. Many items will be attended to if we have the peoples’ support. A running tally of all that is needed to be fixed in the church is located in Fellowship Hall on the “Fix Me” Board. We are actively seeking food donations to feed our hungry workers for our burger cookout following our hard work, so if you can help support us, please let one of us know! Your trustees are Rena, Dan, Chris, Scott, Bruce and Rick.
“Fix Me” Board: Anyone with a church "care concern" (i.e. fix this please!), let a trustee know or place it on the easel located in Fellowship hall. Your Trustees are Rena, Bruce, Chris, Scott, Dan and Rick.
Centering Prayer: You are all invited to a time of centering prayer every Wednesday at 8:00 am for 30 minutes. Jo Chase is hosting us in her home at 306 Catamount Road.
Pre-paid cards to benefit NCC: If you do any shopping at Shaws, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Irving Gas (or any number of stores)...buy a pre-paid card to make your purchases. A percentage of the sales comes back to the church and you aren’t spending any more money than you would have anyway. We place the orders on the 3rd Sunday of the month and they are delivered on the 4th Sunday. Please contact Tiffany George if you have any questions about the program at 332-5808 or t_george12@hotmail.com
