Emergency Assistance FundOn March 16, 2020, when the COVID-19 crisis began impacting our community and our daily lives, Northbrook UMC established a new fund. The Emergency Assistance Fund is set up expressly to help individuals and organizations suffering from financial impacts of COVID-19. Learn more about who has been helped this year in the video below. If you are in need of assistance please email Rev. Laurie Moeller directly. Altar Rail GiftsWe receive Holy Communion the first Sunday of each month. On pre-Covid Sundays, offerings left at the altar went to designated mission partners, and we continue to collect for our partners. In April, funds are collected for Wesley Woods and will be presented in May for their annual Mother's Day offering.

Stewardship 2021: One Body, One Spirit, One Church
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
During 2021 there are three are opportunities for you to make a commitment of your resources and your time. In January, May and September, we ask, "How are you called to give?" with your estimate of giving and "How are you called to Encounter, Love, and Serve?" by engaging in the life of the church.
This year we are focused on what it means to be united in Christ even at a time when we are disconnected. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians calls the church to unity, which takes spiritual work and spiritual maturity. When we dwell together in unity of spirit, we can accomplish great things for the Kingdom of God!
