Special Drama

Sunday, January 6, we had a very special drama presentation during worship by Ardan James, an internationally known Christian illusionist from Milwaukee. He and the cast performed a scene about the life of Jesus from the play, “a girl, a mirror, and a magician.”

Annual Girls’ Night Out

Women of the congregation joined in the annual “Girls’ Night Out” on Friday, January 4. They met together for dinner at Chili’s, N96W18640 County Line Road in Germantown at 6 PM. It was a great evening of feminine fellowship!

Women’s Prayer Circle

Christians often have a particular situation in their lives to pray about, perhaps joined by fellow Christians. Northtown Women shared these with other women in the church during the Women’s Prayer Circle from 8 AM to noon on Saturday, January 12 at the church building. They spent the whole morning praying together about whatever was on each woman’s heart -- although women were welcome to join in anytime during the morning. Afterwards, they had lunch together at Ruby Tuesday’s. Renee Russell organized the event.

Diversity Sunday

In order to better understand each other and the various cultural backgrounds we all come from, Northtown had a special “Unity in Diversity” service on Sunday, January 20. This was in anticipation of Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday observance. Refreshments reflecting different cultures were served after services.
