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, homework tutoring, Youth Group, Sunday and mid-week adult classes, small groups and fun events for the entire family.

FOR THE ENTIRE CHURCH FAMILY:

Fun Friday Potlucks – Meets third Fridays of month, 6 PM, Fellowship Hall, resumes on September 20 with Family Promise sharing that evening (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.

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!)

Is your child struggling at school?  Homework Club has become the highlight of the week for a number of neighborhood children.  Twice a week after school, 3-4:30 P.M., we gather in our fellowship hall for individual homework help, educational games and snacks.  Our caring staff includes church volunteers and ministry staff.  While most of the children are walked down from Linwood School, any elementary-age student is welcome to attend. Registration is required after a child visits once.

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

EACH SUMMER:  Most of our children and youth go to Camp Spalding! Please see the camp's website: campspalding.org. Please contact the church office or a Christian Ed. elder for scholarships.
