Mission Activities
One of the big ways we fellowship at North Church is by serving alongside each other. Whether it’s at one of the monthly Habitat for Humanity work days, at a regular Dress a Girl sewing event, or serving food at Friends of Night People, there are lots of opportunities to become part of the North Church family. We encourage you to get involved in our mission activities!
Tuesday Breakfast
Interesting and informal discussions about life in the church and in the world (i.e., whatever topic seems relevant) take place at the Sheridan Family Restaurant on Sheridan Drive at 7am on most Tuesdays. This is a chance to get to know members of the congregation in an informal setting, and first-time participants are most welcome!!
Book Groups
Two book groups meet regularly each month in the church library, and all are welcome to attend, even if you haven’t had a chance to read the book.
(1) Wednesday morning group (3rd Wed. of every month), 10-11am (the “short-story” reading group)
- June 20: The Best American Short Stories 2011 edited by Geraldine Brooks (2011) [20 short stories]
(2) Wednesday afternoon group (4th Wed. of every month), 2:30-3:30pm
Young Adult Fellowship & Bible Study
Are you 18-30s looking to meet other young adults at North Church? Please join us for a Bible study, fellowship, and refreshments. Click here for more information and to get involved.
Annual Church Picnic
Each June, we gather together in the playground in back of the church for food, games, and fellowship with our church family.
Wish You Were Here
North Church members stay connected during the summer months through a postcard board in Westminster Hall. It is interesting to see where everyone has traveled, and it is nice to know that we are thought of by church members while we are far from home.
