ANNOUNCING

NEW WORSHIP GUIDELINES

Because of the recent revision of COVID guidelines from the CDC and the State of Minnesota, North Center is revising and updating our guidelines for in-person meetings, which includes Sunday School classes and worship services. The following guidelines are effective immediately:

*Social distancing & capacity restrictions will be removed.

*Face masks will not be required. We want those who desire to wear a face mask to feel comfortable doing so.

We are excited to be able to return to a more normal worship experience.

We hope to SEE you SOON!

MEN'S GROUP & BIBLE STUDY

SATURDAYS

8:00-9:00 A.M.

Please click here or on the picture above to go to the form to let us know you are planning to attend the breakfast and Bible study this Saturday.Be sure to enter your name and click "Submit" at the bottom of the form.

Enjoy coffee, a pancake breakfast and fellowship with other North Center men as we go through the video-based study "7 Challenges Men Encounter." Our culture is redefining manhood and confusing men in their pursuit of Biblical manhood. Discover how to respond by rejecting passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, loving unconditionally, living with integrity, serving humbly, and investing eternally. These seven characteristics can help you become a better man, husband, father, and leader. Pastor Stan will lead the discussions following the video.

ONLINE BIBLE STUDY

TUESDAYS, 7-7:55 P.M.

The Book of Ephesians is a survival manual—it equips believers to thrive in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle writes to encourage believers to live well. The study will feature videos in which Pastor and author J.D. Greear walks through the life-transforming truths of this powerful book. Following each week's video, Pastor Stan will lead an online discussion of the passage for that week. You can register for the 9-session course by clicking the link below. Be sure to include your name, email address and phone number on the form and to click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. An email with links to the first video and Zoom discussion will be sent to all who register for the course.

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL ONLINE

Hi Parents & Families,

The church will be providing a Sunday School lesson/classroom time for our children each week. The lessons will come from the church's email address as the lessons are done through our Lifeway curriculum account. Look for an email from "Curriculum Powered by Ministry Grid." If you did not receive those emails last week, then we need to add you to our list. Send your name and email address to the church's email (northcenterchurch@msn.com). Be sure to check your Junk Mail if you request to be on the list but don't receive the information. The first email will ask you to register in order to access the Sunday School lessons and material. That is safe; all that does is assign you to the North Center account. The next email will be the actual lesson, but before you can view it you need to register your email with our account.

The lesson is best viewed from a computer or laptop rather than a phone or mobile device. We will do our best to get the lessons out to you each week by Saturday so that you have time to print the related materials for each lesson. We encourage you to have your kids do the lesson on Sunday morning during our normal Sunday School time if possible.

If you do not have a printer in your home and would like us to mail you the papers for your kids each week please let us know.

Our hope during this time is to be able to continue to minister to you and your families, even while we aren't able to be together. It is my sincerest hope and desire that you and your family will be blessed by these lessons as you continue through the Gospel Project together.

God Bless,

Amie Krueger

North Center Baptist Church Sunday School

CHILDREN'S WORSHIP BULLETINS

We are also sending out via email each week a children's worship bulletin that has activities and games about Bible stories. The bulletins also contain a "Secret Code" that will enable the kids to enter a special web site with super fun games related to Bible stories. If you do not have a printer to print these bulletins, let us know and we will mail them to you. If you do receive the email, we will add you to the list if you send your name and email address to the church (northcenterchurch@msn.com).
