What's Happening

For the Week of 7 October  

• Throughout the month of October, we are encouraging you to consider increasing your pledged giving to the church.  You can fill in a commitment card and put it in the offering plate at any point or mail it in to the church office.  We will be celebrating all of the gifts that you made on November 2nd in worship. 

• We have been challenged!  If we can raise $6700 towards the missions of the church by November 2nd, Rev. Beverly Stenmark, a former pastor of this church, will match it.  Please use the brightly colored envelopes in the pews to make your donation or mark your check for “Share Campaign” in the memo line. 

• There will be a church potluck following worship on November 9th.  Please plan to come and bring your favorite dish! 

• The Pastor’s Study is discussing Isaiah Chapters 20-39 at 1:30 p.m. next Wednesday.  The Zoom session for those who can’t come in-person remains on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. 

• We are looking for people who can help with our A/V ministry.  Even if all you can do is press a button to advance slides during the service, we can use you!  Talk to Pastor Tom, Pete Pellegrino, or Elaine Roffo if you are interested in helping.  

• Church membership is an act of taking vows to uphold the church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.  Contact Pastor Tom if you are interested in being baptized and/or joining NKUMC.  New members engage in a three-session class as preparation.   

•  Items crafted from tie-dyed fabric made by the women of Kabala, Sierra Leone are for sale in the narthex.  All proceeds go to the women of Kabala and our mission partner, the Nar Sarah Clinic.  

•  Please contribute regularly to our four ongoing collections in the narthex – food for the North Kingstown Food Pantry, supplies for the North Kingstown Animal Shelter, plastic films and bags for our recycling project, and clothing and small appliances for the Open Closet program at Open Table of Christ UMC in Providence.   

The ecumenical church community of North Kingstown provides a free Sunday dinner for our friends and neighbors throughout the year. See "Community Dinners" under Community Outreach to learn more.
