Announcements
Food Pantry - The first Sunday of each month is Food Pantry Sunday. We use this Sunday to help stock our food pantry. The carts near the entrances are there for you to place your donated goods. We also take monetary donations and will do the shopping if you would rather donate in that way. Food pantry operation hours are on Tuesdays from 9am-12pm. If you would like to volunteer to help out in the food pantry or if you need a list of items we give out, please contact the office at 217-429-4278.
Communion Help– If you would like to help serve communion on Sunday mornings, please contact Andrea Zelhart at 217-855-5456 or check the box on your connect card and turn it in to an offering plate at the back of the sanctuary.
Men’s Prayer Breakfast– All men are welcome to join together to connect with one another and pray at Panera on Thursday mornings at 7:00 a.m. Come when you can, leave when you have to.
Prayer Requests- If you have a prayer request or praise, you can write it on your Connect Card and turn it in, email [email protected], or call or text the church phone at 217-429-4278. Please include the prayer request or praise and whether it needs to remain confidential.
Membership– If you are interested in placing your membership or getting baptized, please check the box on your Connect Card and our Senior Minister will contact you.
NWCC Greeting Team– Do you enjoy chatting with people? Are you interested in getting more involved at NWCC? We are looking for a few more volunteers to help out on our greeting team. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please check the box on your Connect Card or contact Melissa in the church office by calling or texting (217)429-4278 or emailing [email protected].
Hospitals– We no longer receive accurate information from the hospitals as to who has been admitted so please call/text the office or email and let us know if you or a loved one is in the hospital and if you would like a call or visit.
In This House Posters– There are 11x17 posters available at the Welcome Desk of the “In This House” banner. The posters are free to anyone who would like one.
Easter Lilies– We will be ordering Easter Lilies to display on Easter Sunday. The order forms are available in your bulletin, at the Welcome Desk, or online (see the Northwest Christian Church Facebook page for link). Lilies are $25 apiece and will have purple foil with a white ribbon. Orders must be submitted to the church and paid in full by Sunday, March 15th. Due to the florist’s ability to get the flowers and have them ready for pickup for Easter Sunday, no orders will be accepted after Sunday, March 15th. You can pay via cash, check, or on Pushpay. Please select *Easter Lilies* in the drop down box if paying on Pushpay.
Good Friday Service– Our Good Friday service will be on Friday, April 3rd at 7pm.
Knitting Club– The knitters have resumed meeting on Wednesday mornings from 9-11am in A3. There is no experience needed, just a willingness to try!
