Announcements for our third week of March 2015

Game Night at NCC, Friday, March 20

Do you have cabin fever from all of the snow we have received this  winter?  Come and celebrate the First Day of Spring with some warm fellowship and fun games on Friday, March 20th, beginning at 6:30pm.  Bring a snack to share, and your favorite board or card game.  Drinks will be provided.  Please extend an invitation to a friend or neighbor to join you.  Let the game playing begin!!  ~ Faith Levesque

SouperFest coming on March 28

SouperFest is being held to support the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness.  We are representing Northwood and have been asked to bring 12 desserts.  Gayle will also be a ‘celebrity’ chef.  This will be a fun event for people of all ages, so plan to attend.  Bring your baked goods to the church on March 27 by 4:00pm and Gayle will bring them to Concord.

Talent and Interest Sheets

 In order for our new structure to work, people need to indicate their talent and passions.  There is an envelope for everyone in the church with Talent and Interest Sheets so you can let us know what you like to do.  After Easter they will be mailed out so save us the postage!  There is a basket for filled out forms.

Plants are needed for Maundy Thursday Service

We will be creating an atmosphere of a garden in the room under the Sanctuary.  Your plants, trees, and anything that would contribute to our Worship space would be appreciated.  Please bring to church by Palm Sunday, March 29, or  Tuesday or Wednesday during church office hours.  Thank you.

SERRV Fundraiser

The response from the SERRV table at our Christmas by Design Fair in December was so positive that we will be taking orders from the Spring 2015 catalog (as well as from the Summer 2015 on-line catalog).  SERRV is a fair trade, non-profit organization that creates meaningful, long-term, worldwide connections with disadvantaged artisans and farmers.  Behind each handcrafted SERRV item is a story … of an empowered artisan or farmer who is supporting his/her family.  Northwood Congregational Church is helping to create a more sustainable world, by joining this growing global community by being a part of these stories of change.  And in return, NCC receives 10% from our total order sales.  To view an on-line catalog, go to www.serrv.org and click on “Interactive”       underneath “Our Catalog” on the bottom left of the screen.  You can also view items from any of the tabs along the top of the screen.  Order Forms are available, on the bulletin board (in an envelope) to make it easier for you to do your shopping.  All orders need to be given to Faith Levesque by Sunday, April 19th, or you may call her at 608-1121 to place your order.  ~ Faith Levesque
