ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you Ruthie!: Today is Ruthie Bencal’s last day as our church organist for this year. Ruthie brings great skill and spirit to our congregation as she helps us to worship with music and song. Next week Judy Frase will return to lead the choir and be our accompanist. They both bring such different spirits and styles to our worship and we are richly blessed by both of them.
Rally Day!: Next Sunday is Rally Day and we would like to have everyone who has ever called this place home join us for the kick-off to our program year. If you know of someone who might find this place a spiritual home, please invite them to come to worship with you on September 12th. Also, if there is someone you notice who is missing among us, let them know they are missed and encourage them to be with us for Rally Sunday.
Bibles for 4th Graders: Notices have gone out to any 4th Graders we know of to let them know we have a Bible for them on Rally Sunday. If you know of someone who would like a Bible, please let us know by Tuesday so we can include them as we give out Bibles.
Confirmation: If you know of an 8th or 9th Grader (or anyone who has not taken Confirmation) who might be interested in Confirmation, we will be having an informational meeting for Confirmands and their parents on Sunday, September 26th. Let Gayle know and we will send them a personal invitation.
NASCAR Volunteers needed: It’s that time again...come volunteer your time to help this NCC Fundraiser. Dates are Friday through Sunday, September 17, 18 and 19th. Sign-up sheets are on the table outside Fellowship Hall or you can contact Michael Magoon at 608.5444.
Deerfield Fair: Deerfield Fair is a great fundraiser for NCC. There are lots of volunteer opportunities available and in order to fulfill our commitment, we'll need everyone possible to help with at least one shift. Our days to volunteer as Ticket Takers will be Thursday, Sept. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 2. Approximate shift times are 7:30-2:30pm, 2:30-9:00pm and one person to start at 6am each day. Approximately21 people needed for Thursday and 30 people for Saturday. Sign up sheets will be available at the church on Rally Day. For information or to volunteer, please contact Pam English at 942-8501.
Real Mugs for Real coffee: Bring your own mug to church so we can cut back on use of paper products during coffee hour. It will taste better and you can take it home to wash it. Thanks!
Communion Offering: The September Mission offering will be dedicated to the American Cancer Society. You can visit their website at: www.cancer.org. As we have experienced with the recent loss of our wonderful church member Robin Drown, many of our congregational members have been touched by cancer. The American Cancer Society continues its research and fighting this disease that affects so many people we love and who are in need of our prayers. (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.)
Centering Prayer: A time of Centering Prayer is held on Wednesdays at 8:00am. We meet at MaryAnn Lippincott’s home at 11 Blaisdell Drive.
Pre-paid cards to benefit NCC: While you can order any number of pre-paid card on the third Sunday of each month, we have purchased extra cards of the most popular places. They include Dunkin’ Donuts, Regal Cinema, Restaurant pass, and Lowes, and they are available every Sunday after church while the supplies last. Contact Tiffany George with your questions at 332-5808 or t_george12@hotmail.com.
