For the next two weeks, Northminster’s congregation, along with the San Diego Presbytery, will be collecting the following items in support of the fire victims throughout San Diego County. Thank you for all of the support offered so far and please continue to contribute as you can. Delivery trucks and drivers are also needed to transport these items to the distribution centers when our collection is complete. Please contact the church office if you can help in this effort.
