"God Talk" Off for the Summer Our weekly Bible Study is a great place for conversation around the focus scripture for the week. Lively discussions over dinner are a great way to interact with others in our faith family. God Talk will be on haitus for the summer but will resume in early September. Watch for details! If you'd like to be on the email list for God Talk, just send an email request to Barbara at northchurchsec@frontiernet.net or call the church office at 343-6688. Building Research
By vote of the congregation at the annual business meeting, it was decided that the Building Research Committee will continue to gather information for consideration of the building sale and relocation of North Church. While this process produces some obvious anxieties and uncertainties for all of us, it is also an opportunity for us to consider the best stewardship of our finances, our assets, our ministry and our future. So we move together prayerfully forward! | | North Church is now Open and Affirming
By unanimous congregational vote, North Church is now an Open and Affirming church in the UCC. Included in this action is the following statement: "North Church welcomes all people as full partners in ministry regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, faith background, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, physical disability, or any other human condition." 
Deacon Care
The Board of Deacons led by Fay Roberts is working diligently to more fully respond to needs for pastoral care in the church and community. Each member family has been assigned a particular deacon who will serve as a liason between the members, the church, and the pastor.
