Northminster News - April 3, 2020

WEEKLY WORSHIP VIDEO
Simply click the button for a video on YouTube that we have created. It continues to use our Lent theme "Entering the Passion" that explores the stories of Holy Week and the last days of Jesus' life. In this link you'll hear some music Sarah Corrigan has prepared, watch the scripture read by Tristan Westbroek and listen to a brief reflection from Rev. Nancy.

SUNDAY MORNING FACEBOOK
Also this weekend, we will gather at 10:30 Sunday for Facebook Live.
Together from our kitchen tables and couches, Rev. Nancy will tie together the worship theme for the week, and you'll be able to type in prayer requests. Even if you don't have a Facebook account, you should be able to google "Northminster United Facebook" and click on the link that will take you to our Facebook page. The best part is, you can be in your PJs. Be sure to watch the YouTube video as well because the content is different, but they complement each other.  On Sunday morning click below for the direct link.

STRUGGLING WITH TECHNOLOGY?
Call the church and we can send you printed worship resources instead of online. And don't hesitate to reach out to Brad through the offce and he can walk you through a few trouble shooting ideas for Zoom, Facebook, or the weekly worship video on YouTube.

THE OFFICE IS OPEN
