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.

Thank you for your gracious gifts for these programs.

Eagle Project at Northminster Church & Preschool

Tyler Moyers has selected NPC church and preschool for his Eagle Scout community service projects! He will be building:

  • A new cabinet in the Church's Youth Room to organize the Sunday school supplies and make it less cluttered.

  • A new bench for the preschool 2-year-old students to sit on when waiting for their parents to pick them up; currently the kids sit on little plastic chairs that can tip over. A bench is a much safer option.

Sunday Service Volunteer Opportunities!

Now that we are open, NPC is in need of volunteers to help with the Sunday services once again. In the past NPC has had greeters, persons to help with collection of offerings, scripture readers and person’s to do the prayer in our 10am service. 

A schedule would be created with dates you feel you could help, and reminder emails would be sent out. If something below sounds interesting, please reach out to the office.

In-person classroom Sunday School will start on Sunday!

Come one, come all....in-person classroom Sunday School will start on Sunday, June 20th, 10:00 am Looking forward to being with your children again. Ms Lynn's Bible verse for the day will be Matthew 19: 13-15, o'Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said, "Don't forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children."

Sunday School staff will adhere to Covid guidelines in the classroom, so please have your child wear a mask. Bring your child into the sanctuary with you and the children will be dismissed before the sermon. The teacher will escort the children to the Youth room. Lessons include a story, a small craft and other interactive activities. Pick up your child from the Youth room after the service.

It's wonderful to be able to have the children back in Sunday School.

Easter is just a few weeks away!

This year we hope to brighten up the sanctuary with lots of Easter Lilies and we invite you to help by purchasing a lily and dropping it off to the church office by Wed, March 31 (8-noon) You may also include a note of dedication and we will make sure it is published by Easter Sunday.  

If you want to provide a lily but cannot shop for it yourself, our deacons will be happy to purchase one for you. Just send $10 to the church office, along with your note of dedication, by Friday, March 26. We will make sure your lily will be included in our Easter Sunday decorations. 

We are thrilled to offer our Easter Sunday service in person and on Zoom again this year and we hope you will help us make it a morning of real celebration!
