Mission & Outreach

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

IN TOWN. . . ACROSS THE NATION. . . AROUND THE WORLD

Mead Food Bank & Tom’s Turkey Drive - We will pack food boxes with Tom’s Turkey Drive on Tuesday, November 25^th. Remember to dress warm and we will meet at the Mead Food bank at 9am. Their address is 12509 N Market. A volunteer sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board next to the kitchen window.

The Mitten Tree - It’s that time of year that we begin looking forward to Christmas at Northwood. The mitten tree will once again be put up in the Narthex as we have done for years. Please make or purchase items to hang on the tree such as gloves, mittens, socks for all ages, scarves, etc., that will be donated to Cup of Cool Water, a street ministry downtown. Last year when we delivered the eight bags of items, young people who were coming to eat lunch saw the bags and were very excited to look through them! Thank you so much for your generosity!
