 Dear Northminster Members, I wanted to let you know that I am having some follow up heart surgery – more grafting of the aorta – on April 16, 2021. I will be in the hospital for a few days and then recuperating at home for 3-4 weeks. This surgery and recovery time will be very different than what I went through last August. This is not an emergency, and I am in good health and stronger emotionally and physically than I was last year. So please keep me in your prayers – and my caregiver Mark too – and know I will slowly ease my way back into the life and ministry of Northminster as soon as I am able. Window of Opportunity Northminster is replacing 50 of its oldest windows. Each window is "for sale" and you can choose which window(s) you would like to "buy." Preschool, Sunday School and Knox Room windows are still available! (Read more ...)

Building & Grounds Team Update Did you know? 1) The new corner signs along with parking and door entrance information signs will be installed in the next couple of weeks. Look for bright, fresh lettering and backgrounds. 2) Scaffolding will be installed in the next few weeks at the front Kessler Street entrance of the church to repair the brick base of the steeple. This should take a month at most depending on the weather. Questions? Contact Linda Furuness. Update from the Reopening Task Force Northminster is now able to welcome our own NPC groups of 25 people or less, with appropriate guidelines. Contact Nancy Sala (nancys@northminster-indy.org) to schedule a room. Time with Children - needs YOU! During these pandemic months we’ve had over 24 members and families contribute videos for the Time with Children during our online worship. Please consider sharing a few minutes with the Northminster Community. We’ll provide the week’s scripture and you can take it from there. Contact Jill de las Alas: jbdelasalas@yahoo.com.
