Update on Multi-Platform Services

Northshore Church is pleased to announce that our services are now

both In-Person and Remote (Zoom)! Please note:



• Proof of vaccination must be provided either prior to, or on the date of, your first in-person attendance at church. All are invited and encouraged to provide your proof of vaccination to the church in advance. If you wish to do so, please send a scan or a photo of your Covid-19 vaccination card to our administrator, Nancy Paskowski, at nsuu@verizon.net, with the word "Vaccination" in the subject line. 
• Everyone must sign in to the logbook at the Greeter table each week.
• All attendees must be masked at all times while in the church building.
• There will be no shared food or beverages.
• Cares and Celebrations may be spoken from the podium microphone at the front of the church or recorded in a notebook at the sanctuary entrance at any time prior to that portion of the service, when they will be read aloud.
• The services will continue to be simultaneously broadcast on the Zoom platform for those who wish to continue remote participation.

The Multi-Platform Service Task Force will continue to monitor conditions

and will be prepared to make changes to attendance guidelines as may be needed.

It is wonderful to have the option to be together in person for services again.

Thank you all for your understanding and flexibility during these evolving times.

April 10, 2022 Sunday Service

10:30 a.m. via Zoom

"Wayfinding: Spiritual Signs From Florida to Maine"

 Rev. Marcus Lisle

Rev. Marcus Lisle is an Interfaith Minister who works full-time as a chaplain at Brooksby Village in Peabody, MA, and is a member of the First Religious Society Unitarian Universalist, in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He will weave many stories of the remarkable and mystical ways the spiritual realm has intervened, guided and shaped his spiritual journey from Florida to Maine.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!

Easter Sunday

Rev. Carol Strecker speaking

This Easter we’ll explore what it might mean to wake from the dead; to the wonder of life renewing itself, in the natural world and in the human heart. What is it that has the power to wake us up? To startle us? To open our eyes, our minds, our hearts to new ways of seeing and being in the world?
