ANNOUNCEMENTS SUNDAY MORNING DISCUSSION GROUP. FALL 2018. Curriculum: “Painting the Stars, Science, Religion and an Evolving Faith “ - A 2013 Living the Questions Series. The goal is to listen and discuss a theme for each session. According to the study guide the theme of each session seeks to expose participants to observations and ideas that have been long held by scientists, theologians and many lay-people alike. One of the instructors, Dr. Barbara McClintock indicated that, rather than diminish our sense of awe and wonder, science can deepen our feeling for mystery. As much time can be taken on each session as deemed necessary or desirable. Initially we’ll take up one session per Sunday. And there is no homework that needs to be done before each session, as each session pretty much stands on its own. However, having participated in a session helps understand some of the concepts and the presentation process in subsequent sessions.

WORSHIP AT BOSTWICK LAKE UCC THIS SUNDAY! COMBINED WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY! This Sunday, July 8th, four congregations will be gathering together at Bostwick Lake Congregational Church at 10:30 am for a combined worship service and a potluck lunch. Bring a dish of food to share with Bostwick Lake UCC, Rockford UCC and Rockford United Methodist Church! You may want to bring a lawn chair to watch some of the activities that rumor has it may be planned for the kids outside after the potluck in their fellowship hall. The address of the church is 7979 Belding Rd NE, Rockford, MI 49341, and it is just 8 minutes away. (So if you forget and come to North Kent for worship at 10 am you will still have plenty of time to drive over to Bostwick Lake UCC, and you will still be EARLY for worship.) Pastor Karen is preaching, Neil Blakeslee is one of the readers, and we will be sharing communion together. We also will be singing the first verse of our favorite Glory to God whose goodness shines on me, right after the benediction. Please hang onto your NKPC offering envelopes for this week and bring them next week. Bostwick Lake UCC also does provide nursery care for the under 2 crowd. *Note if this combined Sunday service works, the plan is for NKPC to host this service in 2019.* ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER FLOWING BEDS? Do you have thinned or leftover flowers or plants? Please place those plants you are willing to donate in a disposable container under the tree near our front door. Volunteers interested in developing our garden, please contact the church office at 616-866-2230. NKPC 2018 FISHING CONTEST!
