Dear Northminster friends in Christ,
Thank you for such a wonderful send-off and all the cards you wrote to Michael and me. You are such a special congregation, and Michael and I have truly enjoyed our time with you. We are thankful to God for sending us to you.
We are praying for you as you welcome Pastor Robby and his family. We can only imagine the great things God has in store for you all as you “make and strengthen disciples who reveal the love of Jesus.”
In our last Sunday (8/31/2025) together in worship, we are going to look at Proverbs 8:27-36. As we round out this short series through this wisdom book, we will learn that if we truly want to be wise, we have to get to know Jesus and walk with Him daily because He is True Wisdom!
As we begin a new school year, you all have an opportunity for growing in wisdom and in your relationship with Jesus when you “Go for 2!”—with Sunday Worship and also jumping into Sunday School classes or Alpha on Tuesday nights! We hope you’ll take advantage of one of the many discipleship offerings so that you grow in your walk with Jesus.
May you be encouraged in faith as you shine the light of Christ, whoever God sends you!
To God be all glory,
<><Pastor Jennifer & Michael Cummins

Will you be the next Kid Zone helper?
We are in motion with "Go for 2" this fall. Kid Zone needs additional help caring for our kids! So, we're looking for volunteers for the Sunday School hour, from 10:00-11:00. If you're able to help out a couple of times this fall semester, you'll still be able to attend a Sunday School class of your choosing. Check this video out for more info, and if you're interested in helping disciple our kids, reach out to Michael at michaelb@northminster.us.

Each week, students come together to play games, enjoy snacks, and build meaningful friendships—but the heart of everything we do is helping students know Jesus and grow in their faith. |

Middle School & High School Students are focusing in on our series "Trueish".
It's an 8 weeks Apologetics Root that focuses on some statements that are commonly believed to be biblical, but aren't. It's important that we don't mishandle the Word of God. If we are going to say, "Well, the Bible says...," then the Bible better say it. We also need to know the difference between truth and half-truths.

Women of all ages and stages of life are invited to participate in our Bible Study starting Sept. 9. Whether this is your first time or you’ve been coming for years, your leaders Pat Hegwood and Kim Holdham want you to join our community of Christ followers as we consider what Jesus said and did, and why it matters to our daily lives. This year, we are walking through the entire book of Luke. We meet Tuesdays from 9:00 to 11:00 am in room 118 (Zoom also available). Although the lessons build on each other, we recognize that everyone has busy lives. Each lesson can stand on it’s own, so we encourage you to just come when you can!
$10 per book, drop money off at the office. |
