Week pf Jan. 22-28, 2017

​Per Capita time.  The Presbyterian Church supports its organizational structure (Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly) with a Per Capita assessment on each member of the PCUSA congregations.  The charge is made in January and this year we must pay $26.75 per member of NKPC.  You can again help as in years past by making a special donation to the church for each family member.  Please use your “Initial Offering” envelope for this purposes.   Thank you for helping cover this special expense.
 
Presbyterian Women will meet after church services today in the sanctuary.  We will look at how to distribute funds for mission from our treasury, which has approximately $1500.  Any other items you would like to bring for discussion are welcome.  All women of the church are invited to participate.
 
Children.  All children ages 4 to 10 are invited to join the Sunday school class following the Object Lesson. The topic is “You Are Salt and Light” Matthew 5:13-20.   Discusses how to salt and light, worshipping God and treating people with generosity and respect.
 
Giving Statements for 2016 are available on the table in the narthex.  Please pick up your copy to save us the postage expense.
