"Springtime and Renewal"

Rev. Carol Strecker Speaking

Special Musical Guest; Morgan Beckford, vocalist

Join us for a celebration of spring through poetry and song. We don’t always know where our strength comes from but this time of year the light and warmth of the sun certainly provide an energy for renewal. Breath deep and take in the sights and sounds of life abundant.

Morgan Beckford, originally hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, has been singing as long as she can remember. Beginning with children’s choir at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church at age 6, her passion for singing has taken her through a variety of genres, including a capella, musical theater, jazz and American songbook repertoire, and mostly, classical voice and opera.

Now that she has relocated to the New England area, she’s been thrilled to perform with both the Theater Offensive and Petrichor in cabaret performances; she is also a staff singer at Trinity Church Boston in Copley Square. 

When not onstage, Morgan has worked in arts administration as an Education and Outreach Coordinator and Summer Conservatory Director for Opera Memphis, a Fellowship Coach and Partnerships Coordinator for the Memphis Music Initiative, and the Chief Programming Officer at the Community Music Center of Boston. Currently, she serves as the Silkroad Connect Director of the Silkroad Ensemble.

"Superhero Sunday"

Rev. Carol Strecker Speaking

Who’s your favorite superhero? April 28 is “National Superhero Day”; created by employees at Marvel to honor those who serve and protect and resist evil in the pages of comic books and on the big screen. We all have heroes in our lives - some of them are more famous then others. The idea behind superhero day is to honor those who serve, protect and resist evil. No matter who your favorite hero is, honoring the real and fictional people that inspire us is something to celebrate. Capes are optional!

To attend the Sunday service via Zoom,

please go to the Northshore Church website nsuu.org

From the Administrator

To all Chairpersons and Team Leaders



Please send your committee/team report (to be included in the annual report) to me via email at nsuu@verizon.net by May 5th. Thanks, Nancy

From the NSUU Board of Directors

In conversation with the board and Reverend Carol, it has been decided that the June 4, 2023 celebration of our retiring interim minister will be a FREE event, including a catered luncheon and musical entertainment from 12 noon to 1:30 PM, hopefully on our patio. We must give an accurate number to the caterer, so please email or call Nancy to confirm your attendance at the farewell.

We are suggesting that attendees make a contribution to Northshore Church in Carol's honor on the day of the event. We are all looking forward to a wonderful send-off.

To get the March Board meeting minutes, click on the button below.

The Caring Team is asking for volunteers to add to our current group who help in providing transportation to medical appointments and help in delivering meals to individuals at our church who may need these services. Because we already have folks on the team and others who have offered to help, there won't be frequent requests to assist but rather just to be available occasionally. Please contact Barb Reeder at barabaraellenroth@gmail.com if you're interested in helping out.

Please mark your calendars
