Baked Potato Night

Baked Potato Night All the normal toppings and more!! Free Will Donation ($5 suggested) All proceeds will go towards the mission trip

NUMC Family Bike Ride #2

We’ll have a nice ride and return to North Church in time for the Baked Potato Dinner. Meet at North Church for 3:00 departure. We will pedal down Parker St/Colonial Rd from NUMC to the Manchester Rail Trail , or to avoid riding on the road you can just meet us at the parking lot at 180 Colonial Rd. The Rail Trail runs across several marked road crossings into Vernon, to Bolton Notch and beyond. For our Family Ride we’ll pedal out until we are half tired (or until approximately 4:00 PM) then turn around and head back. Trail is almost all packed dirt, sand, crushed stone, gravel. Trail tires work best but a strong or adult rider can handle it on road tires. Constant gentle climb from parking lot. Easier, slightly downhill return trip.

Pastor's Message for June 2014

The last few years have been full of turmoil within the United Methodist denomination. From the discussion about ending tenure for elders to equality in marriage and ordination, we seem to have been anything but “United” Methodists. The same kinds of problems that have plagued the General Conference exist at the micro level of churches. We disagree about the color of curtains, we argue over traditional communion or intinction, hymns or modern praise music, Sunday school during or before worship, even what kind of coffee we should serve. These differences become nearly impossible to move past when our anxiety levels rise and we feel like the future of our beloved church is at stake. This leads to arguments, schisms, and internal turmoil that threatens to tear apart churches and denominations.

In truth, the thing that matters the most is a simple one. As a church we need to be united in our efforts to proclaim the gospel as widely as possible to any who will hear and accept God’s message of love and reconciliation. Christ commissioned us to “go into all the world and make disciples of every nation…” We move from “United” Methodists to “Untied” Methodists when we forget our very purpose for existing as a church…to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Let us all consider how we have been a part of the problem and not the solution as we move forward. Let us all prayerfully consider how we can become more united in our efforts to accomplish this worthy goal of making disciples. God’s abundant blessings be with you this summer!

Listen to this past Sunday's sermon and consider how your actions might change if your intentions were posted like a sign for all to see.
