Snapshot of the Road Ahead

​While things in the life of Northminster feel calm compared to Fall 2024, there has been lots of work that has continued into the new year.  Just to make sure that you don’t miss the individual pieces, here is a quick snapshot of what is going on and what is coming up.

Game Night: Feb 22 at 7 p.m. in the Lounge
Our Outreach, Fellowship, and Education team has been in touch with folks at CCB to plan a joint game night. While we have hosted many game nights in the past, OF&E felt that a bit of levity was the perfect way to get to know members of the congregation we are sharing space with.

Bring your favorite game and snacks to share!

Nominations: Committee Restructuring
This past Thursday, Session voted to approve our restructuring plan and set the first All-Committee Meeting to March 23rd after worship.  This meeting is open to all to attend, and lunch will be provided.

Nominations has been holding meetings after worship to explain this plan that you can find HERE.  Now that the plan is approved, Nominations will be working to fill the 3 Committee Moderator Positions (formerly chairs) and 8 Committee Coordinator Positions.  If you are interested, please contact Pastor Chris, Chris Kondak, Sue Fish, Ann Cole, Becky Pocisk, or Karen Joy.
​
Annual Meeting of the Corporation and Congregation: February 23rd after worship, in person and online
Our annual meeting will be held two Sundays from now.  For those attending in person, lunch will be provided potluck style.  We will hear reports about the 2024 year.  At the end of the meeting, there will be time to hear feedback about the ongoing relationship with the Congregational Church of Birmingham and the Restructuring Plan.

If you have not yet done so, please submit your Committee Annual Report to Suzanne by February 21.

PCUSA Office of Public Witness

I know that many of you are distressed about the changes going on at the national level.  It can feel like we are powerless to do anything to affect real change by ourselves.  That is why the PCUSA Office of Public Witness has put together a statement including ways that we can join together as people of faith and Presbyterians to make the changes that are needed in the world today.
