Whoa!  A North St. News?  It's been a while again, but it won't be a while again from this point on.

Allow us to explain...

This past Monday night, we had a wonderful church board meeting.  It was easily the longest board meeting since Pastor Jeremy has been here.  Let us highlight three things:

Communication Assistant - The Church Board hired Christina Duncan to a small administrative position: Communication Assistant.  She will be overseeing the formation and maintenance of a church directory, helping to sending out this North St. News weekly (hence, the first sentence of this update), and continuing to develop our "Quick Updates" distribution list.  The hope is that we will all know better the events and life happenings in our church community.  You can contact Christina at her new address.

Minister of Worship - The Church Board voted to bring on Sarah Troxler as our Minister of Worship.  This will mean a number of things going into the future, but for now, we want everyone who can to come to an installation gathering for her at The Remembrance this week (6:00 PM).  We will have a light reception afterward (email Meghan Scott if you can help by bringing something).  You can contact Sarah by email at her new address.

North Street Community Discernment of God's Mission - We are excited to announce that our church community is embarking on a journey of discernment.  The hope is to discern God's mission for the North Street Community.  Everyone who would is asked and encouraged to be a part of this process.  Much more will come out very soon about this journey, but for now you can read about it by clicking here.

We are excited about how we are responding to God's leadership these days.  The series on Acts has challenged many of us, just as we hoped and asked for when we began.  We've got a few more weeks with it, would you continue to pray and read Acts through and through and through?  May the heart of Christ and his mission for our church community arise within and through us.
