Gratitude Workshop, Sat. March 30

Published on by Angela Finet

Some Christians make a point of giving something up during Lent, but Pastor Angela suggests “giving something away” instead. Join her for a Gratitude Workshop on Saturday, March 30th at 10 am. You will be guided through a series of prompts to “give your thanks away.”

She wrote:  “As I’ve been preparing to lead this workshop, I’ve been really excited by my evolving understanding of what the word “gratitude” even means. Is it something we “owe” someone because of their generosity – or is it so much more? I hope you’ll come and explore how focusing on gratitude, even just a little bit, can change everything!”

Please bring $10 for the workshop – we will use note cards as part of the workshop, and the money will go towards Major Maintenance. Invite your friends.

Published on by Angela Finet

Charlotte Bear was ordained into the set-apart ministry on Sunday, Dec. 30 at Woodbridge COB. We want to celebrate her accomplishment as her home church this coming Sunday, Feb. 10. Please bring a dish and plan to stay after worship here at NCOB for a time of fellowship and celebration. Join us as we say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

During the pot-luck meal, the Christian Ed Ministry team will host Valentine-themed activities for the church children and any visiting children who are in Preschool-8th grade. After the children have finished eating, simply send them over to the Kid’s club area where members of the Christian Ed team will have games, crafts and other Valentine-themed activities set up to entertain them. Parents may continue to enjoy their meal and fellowship time.

All are welcome to sing in the choir during the Live Nativity.  Come to the choir room at 4:45 to get your caroling booklet.  We also need desserts (which you can drop by any time after 9 am on Saturday) and help setting up tables and chairs at 9am Sat. morning.
