New Orleans Trip
Our group headed to New Orleans leaves on Saturday! We had a "send-off" this past Sunday during our worship gathering of prayer and offering. Together we gave almost $300 in addition to all the money that's already come in to help buy supplies for the work down in New Orleans. Remember, keep a close watch on North St. News during the trip (June 2-9) for updates and pictures while we are down there.

New England District NMI Convention & Assembly
North Street Community Chapel is part of the New England District Church of the Nazarene. Every year, all churches who are a part of the NED get together for an annual District Assembly. This includes all sorts of gatherings and business meetings. Assembly happened last week. Come to the worship gathering on June 17th for a short debriefing of the Assembly and to hear just a little bit of all the exciting things that God is doing throughout New England.

In Prayer
Please pray for Friends of the Homeless as they seek to fill two important staff positions. There is a whole lot of extra work for the current staff in filling needed shifts and responsibilities. Do you know someone that might be a good prospective staff member for FHSS? Please contact Ed DiSante if you do. Regardless, please keep FHSS in prayer.

A Word from Jeremy
I'm headed up to northern Vermont for a couple of days this week to seek the Word of God in planning North Street's worship gatherings and preaching for the next several months. I'll also be praying about how we can stay in the written Word throughout the week together (a daily or weekly Bible reading plan). Would you please pray with me in these days as I discern how we together might be formed by God's Word together?

Co-ed Softball
Our softball team (the "North Street Empire") has a record of one win and two losses (1-2) and a whole lotta fun. Our next game is this evening (Tuesday, May 29). Click here for more information about softball including the schedule and directions to the field.
