CHANGE IN NEWSLETTER SCHEDULE
As you know, we've made many changes to our website and communications thanks to the work of the Communications Task Force. In the midst of the conversations that happened about updating our communications, we began talking as a staff about how often we send emails, to whom, etc. We also talked to other churches about their communications patterns and what they've found to be most helpful. We talked about this newsletter and how to communicate the most up-to-date information to the congregation. As a result of those conversations, next week we will begin sending the newsletter out on Friday instead of Monday. You will be able to have a glance at the upcoming week before it starts so you can plan accordingly. This week will be the last Friday announcements email (including the sign-up link for next Wednesday's Worship Under the Stars), but we will continue to email the Sunday morning worship reminder. If you have information to include in the newsletter, please submit it to Lynn Ward no later than Wednesday at 12 PM.
WEDNESDAY'S WORSHIP UNDER THE STARS
I hope to see you on Wednesday night for Worship Under the Stars. We will gather again at 7:30 and 8:30 PM, weather permitting. You must register to attend. If we need to cancel due to weather, we will notify you via email by 3:30 PM on Wednesday afternoon.
PASS THE PEACE PICS
We (still) want to pass the peace with you! We want to include pictures of YOU passing the peace to your Northridge family in our worship service. I invite you to snap a picture of yourself, your children, your family, etc. holding up the peace sign (or holding a sign that says peace or any other creative way to express peace!). We'll include these in the worship service so that you can share the peace of Christ with those who aren't physically present with you on Sunday mornings. You may email these pictures to Lynn Ward.
Gratefully,
Betsy

THE DEACONS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Access to Home Communion during COVID-19
Are you not able to participate in Northridge communion due to one of the following reasons?
a) You live at home or in a home where you cannot view our online worship services
b) You can view our services but do not have access to communion elements
c) Any other temporary or long-term circumstance which prevents you from taking part in Northridge communion at your location.
The Northridge Deacons are exploring ways to safely provide communion to our home-bound members during COVID-19. If one of the questions above applies to you, please contact Kathy Watson by phone at (214) 235-3471 or email to kathytwatson@yahoo.com, to share details of your situation. We want to hear from you!
