We’ll be hosting our next Safe Havens in Murchison Hall on January 27-29th, and are in need of volunteers to help cook and serve dinner on those evenings. We also need overnight chaperones for those nights.  Contact Pam Fink or Laura Metallo-Bidon if you’re available to help out.  We’re also in need of toiletries to provide to our guests — personal size items are best.  Drop them in the bin in the Colonial Room.  Remember your neighbors in need by volunteering or donating to this effort.

Our Youth Group is carrying on the proud NHPC tradition of assembling Thanksgiving Baskets for distribution to families in need this holiday season.  Whether you can contribute an entire “basket,” a few items from the list, or prefer to make a monetary contribution, all donations are welcome! Be sure to bring your donations to church by Sunday, November 22nd so that we can distribute them in time for Thanksgiving.  Items needed include:  Stuffing mix, boxed potatoes, gravy, canned vegetables, canned sweet potatoes, corn bread mix, cake/brownie mix, cake frosting, applesauce, canned cranberry sauce, canned soup.  Bring frozen turkeys and bread  no earlier than November 22nd, so we can store them safely.

Have you completed your Mission Survey yet?  Responses from these surveys will determine who receives our local portion of the ‘Peace & Global Witness Offering’, and which mission activities we participate in for the coming year.  Drop your completed survey in the box in the Colonial Room, or give it to Laura Bidon, Mission Chair, no later than Sunday, October 11th.  Let your voice be heard!
