adult enrichment
We encourage our members to use their gifts and interests to develop both spiritual and non-spiritual events, offering our congregation learning and fellowship opportunities.
In addition to Bible studies, special Advent and Lenten series, speakers from the local Missions we support, and pot luck suppers, we have also enjoyed an eagle watch, a wildflower hike, a discussion on exploring “Ways to Pray,” and a book club.

Book Discussion Group
Our next book is "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride Let's aim for Tuesday, January 7th, at 4:30. Questions, contact Peter Meier.
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.
As these characters' stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town's white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community-heaven and earth-that sustain us.
Mystical Ministry
NMCC’s Mystical Ministry returns for our first fall monthly gathering on Sunday, September 22, 5-7pm. We will engage in making art as a healing art. Absolutely no artistic proclivity expected. We will meet at the Blundon's house (contact Melissa if you need directions). RSVPing to the office by September 21 would be helpful for planning supplies, but not required. All are welcome and explore playfully with the Spirit.
