Connect & Grow

"A community of God’s people who, through the Holy Spirit, are committed to… Discipleship & Ministry."

JOIN US ANY SUNDAY!

Spiritual and educational growth is something we at Northwood take seriously and enjoy immensely. We connect and grow with a great mix of Bible studies, Sunday and mid-week adult classes, small groups and fun events for the entire family.

FOR THE ENTIRE CHURCH FAMILY:

Fun Friday Potlucks – Meets the third Friday, January 17, 6 PM, Fellowship Hall, program: what it's like to be a Postal Service employee by Bill Ailes (please sign up on the Fellowship bulletin board) 

Do you like to share a meal around the table?  Once a month, on the third Friday of the month, we have a free self-serve potluck for all ages in our fellowship hall.  Watch here or the calendar for the next theme – usually something seasonal and creative for the entire family.  Sign-ups are taken on the bulletin board in the fellowship hall, but there's always plenty of food!

Adult Small Group Bible Studies:

Adult Small Group Bible Study on Mondays at 1:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall: They have resumed their PW/Horizon study called, “Celebrating Sabbath, Accepting God’s Gift of Rest and Delight,” by Carol Bechtel. Men and women are both welcome, and please contact Christian Ed. Elder Rod Christenson for more information.

Choir & Hand Bells – see the Music page

Rehearsals are at 7:00 P.M. Wednesdays in the Sanctuary for Vocal Choir and 6:00 P.M. Wednesdays in the Bell Loft for Hand Bell Rehearsals during the school year. No auditions needed; just come ready to sing, play and praise the Lord! 

Birth to age 3 – Church Nursery

Our Church Nursery is staffed by loving church volunteers each Sunday morning during worship.  The nursery is located on the left down the Christian Ed. hall.  Please sign in your child and we’ll get your cell phone number, or come and get you if we need you during worship.

Age 4 to Grade 12 –
Each Sunday we have a special children's message: 'Time for the Young at Heart.'  

We love children! Families with children are welcome to attend worship and then, after the 'Time for the Young at Heart' children’s message with the Pastor or a volunteer, we have quilted children's activity bags with activities for your youngster. Our Children's and Youth Church is on a Covid-19 break until further notice.

Grades 1-6 – Homework Club
Mondays & Wednesdays, 3-4:30 PM during the school year (on a break until further notice - sorry!)

Grades 6-12 – Youth Group - Update:  we have suspended this because of the continuing Covid-19 outbreak. For more info:  youth@northwoodpres.org
