Celebrating The Lord’s Supper Today

We will celebrate The Lord’s Supper this morning. Those who are members of our church (or visiting from another) and have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are invited to share with us in the ordinance. We request that children of North Park Church speak to a pastor or elder about being admitted to the Lord’s table.

Children’s Clothing Closet – New Hope Church This spring, on May 7, New Hope Church, a daughter church of NPC on

Pittsburgh’s Northside, will once again host the Children’s Clothing Closet, where

“shoppers” can purchase quality clothing for their children for a nominal cost of $1

per bag.

And North Park Church has an opportunity to help once more. Please bring new or

gently used clothing for children up to age 15 (Spr ing and Summer clothes

only!) to the table on the first floor of NPC. This is a great opportunity to come

alongside New Hope’s ministry, but time is short as you must deliver the clothes to

NPC no later than the end of the day on Tuesday, May 3. Contact Beth Fox at

bethafox@live.com for more details on how you can help.
