​NRPC 3rd annual WALK FOR HUNGER: Sunday, October 31 at Blue Jay Point Sate Park. A lovely walk through the woods will provide the opportunity for some fun and safe fellowship and support a very important ministry AND you can wear your Halloween costume!!
Walk will start at 1:30—we will begin gathering at 1:00pm so we can all start together!!
Snacks and prizes will be provided at the finish of the walk!!
Sign Ups begin this Sunday at the table in the narthex, or by the sign in table at outside worship, or outside the FMB at other events. Everyone is encouraged to participate—even pets are welcome.
If you are not able to get to church to sign up please contact Janet Livengood.
Can’t participate?? You can sponsor another walker. Information on how to sponsor a walker is available at the signup table. The money raised will go to CHURCH WORLD SERVICE for their STOP HUNGER programs which support hunger relief programs locally and internationally.

​Sacred Arts/Spiritual Practices
On the four Thursdays in October the sanctuary will be open from 11:00 - 12:00 in the morning and again from 5:00 - 6:00 in the afternoon for prayer and meditation. Materials to use during this time will be available.

Most of the prayer shawls and lap blankets made by our members have been distributed by our deacons. You are invited to sew, knit, crochet (or any creative technique) a shawl for those in the church undergoing surgery or illness. We have fleece fabric available for an easy, lovely shawl! Contact annantoun@aol.com for fabric.
