Grief Support Group Begins February 21st

Are you grieving the loss of a loved one….the loss of physical or mental capacities that you or a loved one once had….the loss of hoped-for dreams coming true….the loss of stamina and resilience in being hopeful with troubling matters in your life or the world….maybe other matters of grief, too?

You are not alone and there are people in your church family that have experienced grief and are here to listen, pray, and support you. Rev. Alice, Rev. Joel and Pastor Hoyte understand and are offering a Grief Support Group during the Season of Lent on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Prayer Room of NOUMC beginning February 21 and ending March 27. 

Please RSVP of your interest with the church office or simply show up on February 21! Contact noumc@noumc.org to RSVP and with any questions.

Pastor Hoyte, Rev. Alice and Rev. Joel

Technology Trainees Needed

Do you know how to push a button?  The booth crew is looking for some backup!  We would like to invite people to train with us to learn how to run the audio-visual booth.  Training will consist of a brief session to familiarize you with the equipment and procedures, and plenty of opportunities to stand with us in the booth during services to learn hands-on.  Contact John or Phil Wolter or email webmaster@noumc.org.
