WOMENS SPIRITUAL RETREAT
September 25-27, 2009
Historic Banning Mills, Whitesburg
 How can we celebrate and keep Sabbath in our hurried, often frenetic, 21st century lives? With the guidance of Lalor Cadley as facilitator, we will explore this topic during our retreat. Our lives will be enriched as we laugh, love, listen, learn and slow the pace of our daily lives. Join us as we each seek, individually and as a group, to renew and redirect our selves in our own spiritual journey.

IDC SUMMIT 2009

The "2009 Interfaith Disability Connection Summit: Pursuing Inclusion Beyond the Ramp" is a one day event that focuses on how religious communities can make their houses of worship and programs more accessible and welcoming to people with disabilities and their families. Topics will go beyond physical barriers and discuss creating services and programs that are inclusive of all members of the community.

DID YOU KNOW THAT NDBC HAS A SPECIAL CARE COMMITTEE?
 It's not really a new committee, just a name change. The Crisis Committee is now called the Special Care Committee. We work to be sure that meals are provided to families with new babies, to families dealing with illness, and to families of a church member who has died. We will be working closely with other groups in the church, such as the Diaconate, Sunday Schools, etc. to coordinate the meals to families.
We try to keep our church freezer stocked with meals for such occasions, as well. We also provide simple receptions in the Fellowship Hall after a funeral service in the Sanctuary.
Our committee is in the process of updating our list of people who can help with this ministry. If you can help out, from time to time, please email Sylvia Dick at sylvia.dick@comcast.net, Virginia Gilbert at gilbertjb@bellsouth.net, or Jane Jerden at janejerden@comcast.net, or phone one of them. |
