Northfield Methodist Church

Dear Friends

Today the theme for the morning is "Living with Purpose" and the theme this evening at 6:30pm is "Living as a Servant". Both themes exploring the kind of life God has in mind for us to live.

Dear Friends

Once again, thank you to the Volunteers and Staff that made Norfest what it was. Thank you too for your support of Norfest. It has been a blessing to hear stories from different people, both Northfielders and Visitors, about the positive experiences of being part of the Norfest event. May we never get used to and take for granted, the resources and facilities we have been blessed with.

After what feels like months of furlough it is really good to be back and to be worshipping with the family of Northfield. Today we focus on two themes and they are connected.

Dear Friends

It is always amazing to consider the life of Northfield as a community. At the end of this year Mike Brown heads for retirement and we take on Louise Wernich as a new Minister.

There is something for everyone. Northfield is certainly not short of programmes, projects and events. My plea is to please make sure you are up to date with what is going on in the life of our

Dear Friends

We have launched The Old Testament Challenge Series and there are a number of new groups that have formed for the duration of the series. It is not too late to join one. The small group offers an opportunity to journey through the prepared material as a group and dig a bit deeper into the topics we raise each week. If you are not part of a group, please consider joining this Sunday. Connect with Tony Habgood at the OTC Desk in the foyer.

Dear Friends

There is an ancient familiarity with Palm Sunday that is a good thing. The cry "Blessed in He who comes in the name of the Lord." A phrase from Psalm 118 and itself has been shouted out for hundreds of years before Christ. So we gather in an ancient tradition, today, to proclaim Jesus as the one who saves.
