It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Bill Nickerson on April 4th.  Bill and his beloved wife Margie have been active members and friends of Northwood Congregational Church for many years, and as you may know, Margie has served in many roles (currently bookkeeper for the last few years). The NCC family sends their sincere condolences and prayers to Margie and her family.  Bill will be greatly missed by all of us.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 18th at 10:00 a.m. at Mountain View Church in Sanbornton, NH.  Following the Celebration of Life there will be a gathering at the Merrimack Valley Railroad Function Hall in Northfield, NH.  If you are interested in carpooling to Bill's Celebration of Life, please meet in the parking lot of NCC at 8:45 a.m.
