  • Many thanks to those people who donated their time and talents to prepare VBS decorations: Jenna Reeves - our mural artist, Ashley Alexander, Shari, Derek, and Austin Sobek, Leslee Reeves, Sandi Haltom, Jessie Thomas, David Miller, Bill Parr, Spencer Cherry, Diane Haist, and Jim Davis.
     
  • Today, the Nor'kirk Bible Study will finish the Book of Hosea. Join us as we study his prophetic words during the last years of the nation of Israel before the Assyrian invasion.  All are welcome to join us in the Red Sea Room in Price Hall for our weekly Bible discussion and presentation.
     
  • “Being Christian” ~ Please plan on joining us each Sunday at 9:30 am in the last room on the right of the CE Wing for our newest adult Sunday School class. “Being Christian” takes the fundamentals of our faith and provides the opportunity to discuss the Bible, our faith and our history. Please contact Tim McNutt at 214-215-4065 or tim.mcnutt@brightco.com if you have questions or need any additional information.
     
  • Do you crave an oasis in the midst of the hustle-bustle and the chaos that life can present?  Do you have an itch for something more, perhaps a longing to make that “personal relationship with Christ” real and tangible?  The Sunday Morning Small Group may be just the tonic you seek!  This Group is founded on the principle that, by developing and expanding a deep, rich personal connection among our members, we can come to understand more fully our relationship with Christ and Christ’s relationship with us.  And, each Sunday, we lift each other up and explore applying the message of the Bible to our everyday lives.  You are invited!!  Come fill the empty chair that awaits just you each Sunday morning, during Sunday School Hour, in Price Hall!
     
  • The Summer Sunday School season is underway.  We offer Sunday school for all ages throughout the months of July and August, promoting all of our children and youth to the next grade or level in early September.  Adult classes also continue through the summer.  Children who completed grades K-4 will meet in the ARKK classroom in Price Hall each Sunday; 5th through 7th graders will meet in the Banner room in the Main Building; and youth 8th-12th grade meet in the High School Classroom in Price Hall.  Sunday school meets each week from 9:40 – 10:30 a.m.  Try it out!
     
  • Children’s Church will not be held during the summer.  Children’s Church will resume after Round-Up Sunday in September.
     
  • The Nor’kirk summer softball season is in full swing!  All games are played on Field #4 at the McInnish Sports Complex on Sandy Lake Rd.  Our next games will be tonight at 7 & 8 p.m.  Come out and support the team!
     
  • Our high school group, Shindig, will not meet in July and August.  We will notify you of upcoming youth events.
     
  • Hospice Work Date: We need volunteers on Monday, July 26th, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. to help assemble Adult Bibs, Hand Rolls and Rice Packs for Odyssey Hospice.  Sewing machines are welcome, but we can use anyone who is willing to cut, stuff, tie and assemble.  Come all day (and we will get pizza) or part of the time.  This is a great project for teens who need service hours.  See you in the Banner Room! Contact Lynne Hine 972-492-8620 with any questions.
     
  • The Nor’kirk Book Club is doing something different this July.  We’re individually reading a book that interests us and will say a few words about it at our July get together.  We’re meeting again at Nico’s (SW corner of Josey and Frankford) on Tuesday, July 27.  For more information call Dru Banner at 972.492.7810.
     
  • Save the date!  Sunday, August 15th is our next blood drive.  Carter Blood Care will be at The Nor’kirk from 8 a.m. to noon to replenish dwindling blood supplies.  High demand for blood and low donor numbers create s true need in our community.  We need you to roll up your sleeve!
     
  • The Ministry with Children committee would like to thank Maria Moen for her service to The Nor’kirk as Nursery Coordinator!  She is relocating to another state and we need to find another volunteer to fill this position.  Responsibilities include purchasing supplies and snacks as needed, scheduling teen volunteers, and being the liaison between our paid nursery staff and the Ministry with Children.  Having a child in the nursery is NOT a requirement!  If this is something that you might be interested in, please contact Anne Thomas at thomasrickanne@verizon.net or 972-939-1531.
     
  • Preschool registration continues for our Fall 2010-Spring 2011 school year.  We are excited to continue to offer our quality early childhood program for 1-5 year olds.  Call or email Diane Haist at the preschool: 972-305-3707 or dianeh@thenorkirk.org.
     
  • Outreach and Evangelism needs your help!  We are trying to gather information regarding our members and the groups or affiliations they might be involved in within our community.  The main goal is to use the Internet to spread the word about The Nor'kirk's events.  If you have a group that you are a part of (singles group, sports team, volunteer group etc), would you please let Kristina Robertson know?  Feel free to email her at stranded_in_japan@hotmail.com with the group name and she will make sure you receive an email of The Nor'kirk's events that you can forward on to your friends.  It's a super easy way to help The Nor'kirk reach out into the community!
     
  • Become a fan of The Nor’kirk -- join us on our Facebook page (The Nor'Kirk Presbyterian Church).  Updates for all events are posted weekly, as well as pictures from the events.  Invite your friends to be Nor'kirk fans as well.  Visitors to The Nor’kirk Facebook will see all the fun and exciting things our little church can do!
     
  • Did you know that The Nor’kirk has a small team of people who provide meals for members of the church who are in need?  We are looking to expand this team and this is your opportunity to help!  For more information or to lend a helping hand, please contact Tiffany Wylie at 972-418-0277 or Tiffany.Wylie@tylertech.com.
     
  • Great news! If you have wanted to become more involved in church activities but have not been able to because of lack of childcare, The Nor’kirk is offering a solution.  If you wish to attend ANY Nor’kirk activity but need babysitting, please let Kim Ready know at least 3 days prior to the event and she will contact one of our well-qualified babysitters to watch your children at the church. Additionally, if you would like to add your name to the babysitter totem pole, please contact Kim at 972-395-3742 or maestrokim@verizon.net.
