Good People of the Northwood Congregational Church, UCC

 

The Church Council invites you to join us for food, fellowship, and dreaming.  The Council will be looking at how the church does things, and in particular, how it accomplishes things through Boards and Committees.   Before we look at other models of organizing the church, we want to hear from you about how we do things and what people are willing to do for the church.

 

Bring some kind of yummy food to share.  We will eat at 6:00 and begin our discussion when our mouths are not full.

 

If you cannot be there will us, forward to us your ideas of how we do things here and what you think could improve that.

 

Thanks for being a part of this great community.

Good People of the Northwood Congregational Church,

Sunday is Rally Day and we have a great day planned.  You being there would
make it perfect.

In worship we will welcome each other back from time away this summer, there
is a beautiful boy we will baptize, we will dedicate Baby kits collected
over the summer, and we will tell stories about the Northwood Congregational
Church.   So come to church with your stories to strengthen our sense of
shared community.

After worship, we will gather at Michael and Kat Magoon's home for a church
picnic.  They live at 43 Main Street in Northwood.   We will provide hotdog,
hamburgers and drinks, so please bring salads, desserts, and munchies to
share.   There is a pool, games, and the great company of each other.  

You are important to this community and so we hope you will join us Sunday.

This Sunday we have the wonderful opportunity of worshiping on the point on Harvey Lake.   The weather report looks good that it will be a nice day, so come and join us for an outdoor worship.

 

Please bring a chair or two and comfortable shoes for walking the 2 minutes out to the point.   We are also looking for one or two glass chimneys to keep the candles safe from the wind.

 

In the midst of God's creation is one of the best places to worship and we are so fortunate to have the lake at our back door.

 

We hope to see you Sunday,

Gayle Murphy

 

We welcome you to join us for worship this week!

Sunday - worship in the Taize style   

This is a style of worship which includes silence, singing simple songs repeatedly, Scripture, and communion.   I find that this style of worship helps me to get out of my own way and encounter God.  It may not be a style of worship for everyone, but it is definitely worth opening up yourself to the opportunity to worship God in this way.

 

I ask that God may bless you during these summer days.
