The church building may be closed but the ministry is not. Please continue to reach out to one another to offer concern and conversation. If you need pastoral, spiritual, or emergency care, please let me know! You are welcome to join the Prayer Ministry! Let me know if you want to be included in the group that receives prayer requests, and I will happily add you. The more people praying right now, the better! If you have any prayer requests, please let me know. Feel free to send your pledges to church, either in the mail or by using the tithe.ly app. Even with the “stay at home” order, our wonderful Finance Committee is still making deposits and paying bills to keep NGCC afloat financially.
