New to Northbridge Lunch - Sunday
If you're new to Northbridge Community Church and would like to know more, plan to stay after the service on Sunday, July 19, for lunch and a time to meet with Pastor Kevin and some of the elders. Send an email to kathy@nbchurch.org to sign up.
Worship Ministry Involvement
Has God blessed you with musical or technical talents and passions? If so, the Northbridge Worship Ministry would like to hear from you! If you’re a musician or singer and enjoy participating with a team in leading worship songs, we encourage you to explore the ministry. We’re particularly in need of drummers! On the technical side of things, we have opportunities for mixing sound, running projection, and streaming video. We offer training for potential techs, and onboarding for less-experienced musicians. If interested, or for more info, please contact George Schweitzer at george@nbchurch.org.
Coffee Service Volunteers Needed
In order to continue providing great hospitality for Sunday mornings, we are in need of at least 4 other individuals/couples that are willing to help. We have several upcoming dates that we have been unable to fill. The goal is to have enough people where you would only need to serve once every 2 months. We also have made an improvement that allows us to break the work into two parts and reduce the need for the coffee team to be there early on Sunday. With the addition of wifi-enabled power plugs, we can have someone set up the coffee after the Saturday night service and then the pots automatically perk on Sunday morning so the coffee team would not need to arrive until 8:45am. If you are a Saturday night service attendee, we would love to have you help in that effort. If you are interested in helping, please email Tracy Bashore (tracy@bashore.net).
