What's Happening This Week!
JPRAYER MINISTRY: Rise early, pr ay & slay! There is power in pr ayer. The Circle of Pr ayer War r ior s spend 45 minutes in pr ayer and faith for mation to slay the day. We call- in ever y Monday, Wednesday, and Fr iday mor nings. Join us, one number, no codes, just communion with God @ 7:00 AM in the War Room.
Please remember to be faithful stewards and take care of your tithes and offering to our church. We have several ways in which to do so, but why not try something different at least one time. Since many of us have been away from the church for so long, just drive out to the church and bring your tithes and offering and put it in our secured mailbox. It?s nothing like coming on the church grounds; it gives you a different feeling. Come meditate and say a prayer. Yes, you can do this anywhere, but come to the church, sit in your vehicle, or in our picnic area, or our Place of Healing , but just step foot on the grounds, and pay your church a visit; and see how you feel, you?ll be glad that you did.
OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Please submit all announcements to include dates, times and details of the scheduled ministr y or event by 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday of each week to the church office via email: officenor folk@gmail.com Website: https://www.numcva.or g Facebook: www.facebook.com/Nor folkUMC Text- Giving: 757- 230- 2125
