Peace Sunday: Today is Peace Sunday; one Sunday each year when we are thoughtful in remembering the work that brought us a Peace Pole in front of the church and proclaiming the values of God’s gift of peace in our lives.
Kevin's N.C.C Weight Loss Challenge: I am committing to contribute a dollar amount for each pound I lose to N.C.C. I would like others to join me in one of three ways: first if you have weight to lose join me in contributing a dollar amount per pound to the church; second if you do not want or need to lose weight, how about supporting me in my pledge and give an amount for my weight loss; third is a way everyone can be involved - pray for those involved in the challenge and the church. So everyone knows we are on the up and up, I will have weekly weigh-ins at coffee hour and we can track my success (or lack there of). I hope you will consider supporting this effort to bring glory to God through two areas we have been entrusted to steward: The Church and ourselves.
Operation Christmas Child: Over the next month our children will be collecting toys and personal care goods in support of the shoe box ministry: Operation Christmas Child. This ministry is committed to making it possible for every child around the world to have something to open for Christmas. This is the second year the children have taken up this worth while cause and your support is essential. There is a flier on the table outside of Fellowship Hall outlining the needs for a shoe box. Please take the time to look it over and see how you might be able to help. Thank you in advance for your help to make all children around the world have a Merry Christmas! If you would like more information please talk with Kevin Stewart. We will also be showing a video throughout the collection time.
Advent Worship Leadership Team: Would you like to be on the Worship Leadership Team for Advent? We will be thinking about what the church will be doing in preparation for Christmas. If you would like to be part of the team that helps us think about worship and is active in its planning, please see Gayle Murphy.
Prayer Box: The Deacons have provided a Prayer Box by the outside door of the handicap entrance. The box is a work of art made by Jane Roberts’ daughter. Its purpose is to allow people outside of the church to submit their prayer requests. The box will be checked each week to be included in Sunday’s prayers.
Confirmation Class Field Trip: The Confirmation Class will be going on its first Field Trip today to the Durham Evangelical Church. The service begins at 11:30, so we will meet here at our church at 10:45 to leave at 11:00. Anyone who would be interested in joining us on this field trip is welcome.

Communion Offering: Annually, October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We will dedicate the October Mission offering to New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence to assist in prevention of domestic violence which has been increasing as a result of some of the economic challenges faced by many families. Founded in 1977, the Coalition is an umbrella organization for a statewide network of 14 independent member programs committed to ending domestic and sexual violence. To that end the Coalition seeks to ensure that quality services are provided to victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence;, prevent future violence by educating the public, influence public policy and encourage the provision of services for perpetrators. For further information, visit their website at www.nhcadsv.org. (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.)
Tangible Worship: Please notice the tables at each door of the Sanctuary. On them will be items which will express the theme of the worship service in a tangible way. See if you can figure out what will be happening in worship from the items on the tables.
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!

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.

Deerfield Fair: Deerfield Fair is a great fundraiser for NCC.

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.)
