Sunday April 30th
Psalm 23 - A Psalm for today
3,000 years old. 6 verses long, 15 lines of poetry.
57 words in the original Hebrew. About twice that in English.
It is the most requested, the most well-known, the most memorized passage of scripture. And, remarkably, it still speaks to us today. Quite amazing.

We are meeting on Tuesday, May 9th from 1:00-3:00pm in the sanctuary.
Light refreshments will be served.
Jen Auger will be addressing the topic, Facing Change and Transition. For some, transitions are exciting and for others they are scary. When facing transition as a community, knowing what we bring as individuals helps to support each other and move through the process with hope and trust. Come explore what transition means to you and what it will mean to the NUC community.
All members and adherents of NUC are invited to attend this presentation.
