For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. Romans 12:4-5

As the apostle Paul writes, we really are the Body of Christ in the world and it is important for each of us to take advantage of the opportunities God makes available to us to worship God, to grow in our faith and to serve God’s world. We invite all members and friends of Northminster to prayerfully consider how best to participate in worship, fellowship, mission , and ministry during the next year. Please complete one form per family member.
