OTHER NEWS
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.
ELDER NOMINATIONS
NCC is accepting nominations for new elders through September 30. A description of the qualifications and nomination process, along with nomination forms, is available at the Welcome Desk or online. Completed nomination forms may be placed in the nomination box in the church office. Envelopes are also available for your convenience.

Fall Food Service Help Needs
Fall is here, which means that Bridge Kids has started along with other meal opportunities. We are starting Saturday night meals again on Saturday, September 26.
I'm looking forward to working with you all again. Please let me know though if you are no longer able to help with kitchen and I will remove you from the list. Thanks.

Free Bibles and Books This Weekend
Free books are available this weekend for anyone who would like them! We are clearing the bookcases in the hallway outside the kitchen to make space for a new storage closet, so please feel free to browse and take whatever you can use. There is a wide variety of books by Christian authors as well as Bibles in various translations. Stop by this weekend and take home as many as you’d like!
Agape Service Assistance Ministry
If you have some work you need done but do not have the means or ability to do the project, NCC’s Agape Service Assistance Ministry volunteers may be able to help. We have volunteers that can possibly help with construction, outdoor work/landscaping, auto/small engine repair, technology, general work (i.e. moving, cleaning, painting).
