Hello, North Street Community!
I'm excited about how things are going in our community. It's been a difficult couple of months, but this Easter season brings new life in more ways than one.
-------
This past Sunday was our Annual Meeting Sunday. We elected a new church board, and I'm pleased to announce it to you: Ed DiSante (NMI President), Dawn Haskell (Sunday School Superintendent), Herb Newell (FHSS Ex-Officio), Ryan Ardrey, Tim Eyring, E.J. Lewis, Keri Lewis, Dorothy Newell, Dana Parker, and Jason Parker. I'm excited about this group, and the diverse perspectives and experience it will bring to the leadership of our church community. Please be praying for us as we head into the future.

During the Season of Easter, our Sunday morning worship gatherings will be focused by our epistle readings from I John. Our spiritual father, John Wesley, said of this book: "How plain, how full, and how deep a compedium of genuine Christianity...to confirm the happy and holy communion of the faithful with God and Christ by describing the marks of that blessed state.” The "marks" in I John are evidenced in love.
We had a quick overview of the book this past Sunday, but here's how we'll proceed for the rest of Easter:
"How incredible is God's love for us...
April 26 - ...and we are thus his children."
May 3 - ...and the world knows this by the actions of our lives."
May 10 - ...and we know of this because God resides within."
May 17 - ...and we know of this because the Spirit resonates truth within our lives."
May 24 - ...and this is the story of our lives."
If you were not here to worship with us this past Sunday, you'll want to be sure and pick up the I John booklet this Sunday (on the welcome pulpit). I've challenged everyone to read through the book regularly during Easter.

This Saturday is the last of the month and that brings us our Men's Breakfast Fellowship. Come on out at 8:30. Paul Goodwin will be cooking. All (men & women!) are invited this time because...
...right after breakfast, we'll have a day of Landscaping, Planting, & Clean-Up. Spring is passing us and there's a lot of work to do on our grounds. So come out for breakfast at 8:30, wear your workin' clothes, and bring your gloves! We'll begin getting dirty around 9:30.

As always, check our online calendar to see what's going on.
