Everything [In] Between
This Lent, our church will journey together through Everything [In] Between, a beautifully crafted resource by A Sanctified Art. We will wade into the middle of our sacred texts to find God and stretch our understanding beyond the binaries that our world so often gives. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5, we will engage with scripture, art, and poetry designed to expand our imagination of faith, deepen our understanding of justice, and open our hearts to the Spirit’s work in the in-between. Lenten Devotional Booklets and Lenten Cards are also available.
Girl Scout Cookie Booth

We are planning a Girl Scout Cookie Booth for some upcoming Sundays and Wednesdays at church. If you have a daughter, granddaughter, or know of other families in the church who have girls in Girl Scouts, please have them contact Kristen Twitchell at youth@northfieldumc.org. |
We want to make sure no Girl Scout families from NUMC get left out who would like to sell cookies.

The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same. |
Each gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather they reveal an abundant, diverse and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:30-3:30pm January through the end of March! Need a place to get your steps in while the weather outside is still frightful? Our Methodist Mile is a 7 lap route you can walk (please no running!) inside our church facility. Just follow the route signs!
