Our Women’s Bible Study Small Group will be on Wednesdays. The first will be May 14th at Northminster from 7pm-9pm. You can purchase the workbook at our first session for $20, or from the Berean Christian bookstore on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I am very excited about this and all of you who said you will be coming, see you Wednesday!

Please join us on Saturday, May 10, for our Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon.  This will be a wonderful event catered by JoAn Johnson and offering musical entertainment by the Monettes!

Tickets are $7 and $3 for children under 12 and are on sale now.  See Helen Melbourn and Winnie Hawkins before and after church on Sundays or contact the office for ticket information.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi ladies!

I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I am going to start a Women’s Bible Study (or Small Group) for Northminster women, Young Life moms, and really any woman who would be interested in joining us. If it is a hit and our group gets too big, we’ll split into two groups. I picked out a 10 week study by Beth Moore called “Daniel: Lives of Integrity, words of prophecy.” I have done a Beth Moore study before and they are really good.

I want to hear back about how many people are interested, and vote on either Wednesday evenings from 7 pm-9 pm with dinner, or Saturday mornings, maybe 8-10am or 9-11am with coffee. I hope to start either Saturday, May 10, or Wednesday, May 14.

Please let me know via email if you are interested, and which time you would prefer. Thanks! I’m very excited about this, and hope you’ll join me.

Love, Chelsea

PS - Once I hear back about how many people are interested, I get a discount at Berean Christian bookstores so can buy a bunch of the work books. You can get them from me at our first meeting if you don’t want to go to Berean.

The Women’s Association of Northminster is a part of Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery. We meet with that group once a month September through June and join in their mission outreach programs. We also attend regularly the 5 meetings per year of Church Women United which includes women of all denominations. In addition we have our local missions here in the area such as Northminster, its Youth Group, Young Life, and Community Christian Service Agency known as CCSA which provides needed supplies from food and clothing to help with household furnishings, etc.

We also have two Bible Study Groups on the second Tuesday of each month, September through June using the study guide provided by the Presbytery Church’s national headquarters. The coming year’s study will concentrate on the book of Luke. Any Northminster women are welcome to join us at any time. Faith Circle meets at 9:30a.m. and Rebecca Circle at 7p.m.

Friday, May 2, we will be meeting at the Pioneer Oceanview United Church of Christ at 250 Fairfield St. here in Clairemont in the Bay Park area. Salad pot-luck will follow the meeting. Please let either Sheila Mura at 619 275-1748 or Winnie Hawkins at 858 278-6788 know if you need a ride. The speaker will be Mark Jennings. Their ministry is through theater and he has performed in London’s Houses of Parliament to California’s Venice Beach. There is no charge but there will be a goodwill offering, half of which will go to the National Church Women United, the other half to local group for their mission work. We hope to see many of our Northminster women there.

Saturday, May 10,tickets will go on sale this week for our annual Mothers Day luncheon. Catered by JoAn Johnson we know it will be wonderful meal. Tickets are $7 and $3 for children under 12.

Just a reminder that this Sunday, March 9th, we will be having one combined church service at 9:30 a.m., where we will be joined by the preschool families in honor of the beautiful new lawn that has been installed in our preschool playground area.

Our 9:30 service will be followed by a brief dedication of our new playground turf and a delicious pancake brunch! Please join us for this special occasion.

Northminster now has a full suite of on-line web based church calendars. There are now three on-line calendars to be found in the Navigation links on the left side of any web page on this site.

The Church Calendar is the place to go for anything you want to know about what is going on in the life of the church. This calendar is in addition to the Young Life and WyldLife Calendars which have been on-line for some time now.

These calendars are the place to go for anything you would like to know about what’s happening, or when it’s happening, in the life of the church, now and in the future.
