Weekly Update
Welcome new and familiar. All you need for this week is right here.
This page is the most up-to-date form of communication we have.
Let's get you connected with the things you need.
As we plan for the transition to two worship services (8:30 am and 10:30 am) beginning on November 2nd, I wanted to make you aware of three ways that you can actively assist and bless our congregation.
1. SHOW UP: The first is to attend our September 21st Townhall Gathering that will be held right after worship. Our Worship Exploratory Team will share the results of our congregational survey, describe their discernment process, and share their recommendations. There is a box on our welcome table in the church entry for you to submit a question that we will address at the Townhall gathering. You can also click here bit.ly/sept21-QandA to submit a question online.
2. PRAY: Please pray for our congregation, our leadership, and for our community as we make this transition. We sense the Holy Spirit guiding us in this decision and would ask our entire congregation to pray. Pray for our planning process. Pray about where God is asking you to step up to new ways of serving. Pray about whom you might invite to attend North Point Church on Sunday morning.
3. STEP UP: The reality of two services means that there will be more opportunities to serve our church family. Whether it be teaching Sunday School (which you can now do and not miss worship!), volunteering on our coffee team, serving on the A/V team, or offering the many gifts God has blessed you with, there will be a place for you to step up and serve.
