Christmas in Narnia 2023 at Northminster Presbyterian Church!
The Christmas in Narnia 2023 at Northminster Presbyterian Church event combines the beautiful Christmas English Tea our church has hosted for many years with an interactive experience based on C.S. Lewis’s "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” We are hosting over 250 guests from our Clairemont community! We will recreate part of the journey made by the protagonists in the book. Our guests will step through a wardrobe of fur coats and into a winter forest to start the journey of adventure and redemption described in the book.
Why host this event when most Christian churches celebrate with depictions of the birth of Jesus at this time of year? C.S. Lewis was a respected author, professor, and theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford and Cambridge University. He authored the Narnia books for his young niece, Lucy, in the 1950s. The books were written as gospel allegories to explain the Christian faith and God’s love for the world. The character of Aslan the Lion in the books represents Jesus and His loving sacrifice so that we may enjoy a personal relationship with him and eternal life!
This event aims to let the community of Clairemont know we are here to serve and love them. We are here to be a “light” to those who want to learn more about God and the Christian faith.
Event will be held on: November 25, 2023 9:30-4:00pm
Sign up: schedule will be posted on our website in late October.
Help with this event is needed. If interested please contact NPC 858 490-3995

Northminster Community Garden at Ten Years Old
The Community Garden celebrated its tenth anniversary last weekend. We had a nice turnout to celebrate such a milestone and a very pleasant time visiting the different beds and sharing some good food.
It also gave me some time to reflect what the garden has brought along with it while producing some great tomatoes and kale and strawberries. Ten years ago, what was a largely an ignored bit of church property was transformed from a tawdry little lawn into a thriving hub, a gathering place for church neighbors to congregate and share not just gardening but friendship and camaraderie. With the expansion a few years later, this circle doubled. Although we can’t come up with a wholly accurate number, we believe that over two hundred people have shared time as gardeners. A completely uncertain number of visitors have also come through via the Clairemont Garden Tour (three times), and folks just walking by on the sidewalk stopping in to have a look. A repeating theme of visitor’s comments revolve around what a pleasant oasis the garden is, and how serene it can be, even though it is on one of the busiest streets in the city.
While we may sometimes lament upon our ability to change or improve the world, we have managed to change and improve one small part of it with the Northminster Community Garden.

Ukraine Disaster Assistance
Our concerns for those caught in the horrendous grip of aggression in Ukraine have elicited many prayers from folks of Northminster PC. Some have said they wanted to send monetary assistance to make real their good wishes. If you would like to donate funds to help Ukrainians caught in this situation, please consider sending contributions through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance by making your check payable to (NPC) Northminster Presbyterian Church (with a memo note on the check designating the funds as "PDA Ukraine"). Drop your check in the Sunday offering--or send it to the church--and your gift can be forwarded immediately to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, which, along with Church World Service and other agencies, is already involved in helping in whatever ways possible in this Ukraine disaster situation.
