Sunday Service

Transformational Conflict

Sunday, January 21st
10:30am
Join us in person or Zoom!

All churches have conflict. This can be interpersonal and institutional. It is critical that we each commit ourselves to the work of acknowledging and interacting conflict, and this can make us stronger and healthier. Let's explore how conflict can transform us.

Creative Circle Play Day

All Northlake crafters are invited to join Creative Circle for a Play Day on Saturday Jan. 20th from 10:30 am - 4:30 pm in the Sanctuary.

We'll be hanging the religious symbols show on Saturday. If you have a piece at home that you would like to have included, please bring it before lunch on Saturday. Bring lunch and enjoy a day of crafting!

Reminder, there is added security on the campus because of the increase of threats to Jewish communities. It will help if you wave at any security personnel you see and let them know that you are attending the Creative Circle in the Main Sanctuary. There will be lanyards for everyone when you arrive. Kol Ami is posting a person at each entrance, so enter only through the upstairs doors, and explain that you are here for the Creative Circle Play Day. If you have any concerns, give Robin a call and she can meet you at your car or at the front door.

This is a small way for us to stay in alignment with and support our extended community to be safe :)
