There are a lot of small jobs that need to be done but don’t take a lot of time or a long-term commitment. They just take a willingness to serve and your special gifts.

Here are some current places your gifts can be used:

Ashley Brundage of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and Board Chair of the Homeless Collaborative of Dallas and Collin Counties will be in conversation with Drs. Jill Khadduri, of Abt Associates, and Marybeth Shinn, of Vanderbilt University, co-authors of the book In the Midst of Plenty - Homelessness and What to Do About It on Tuesday, August 23 at 2:30 p

Join us on Monday, August 29 at 10:00 a.m. in the NorthPark kitchen to cook and restock our freezers.

This ministry helps feed the needy in our neighborhood and our church family by preparing food for those who come through our doors or for church members in need.

Please let Marilyn Daily know if you plan to come and help.

For 8 years (before Covid), Walter Dunlap served as a Senior Ambassador at Presbyterian Main Hospital on Walnut Hill. The Ambassadors visit patients, especially those who have been there the longest and are usually the sickest. Since time passes slowly in the hospital, the hospital provides a steady supply of magazines and light reading materials. Several NorthParkers helped furnish magazines that were picked up each Sunday and taken to the hospital.

Walter is ready to start delivering magazines to the hospital again! The magazines needed are those of general, non-technical, non-professional interest, such as sports, current events (Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report), The Economist, The Atlantic, Good Housekeeping, Southern Living, travel, cooking, and are not more than 3-4 months old.

If you are able to donate these types of magazines, please place them on the counter behind the welcome desk at any time.

Questions? Contact Walter Dunlap.

Everyone is welcome to join us Sunday, September 11 following the 11:00 a.m. worship service in Fellowship Hall for a family-friendly event featuring BBQ lunch, a photo booth, the Reverse Food Truck, and more!

Yes, please! It will help us have a better idea of how much yummy food to order. Make your reservations here or at the welcome desk located in the Narthex by Sunday, September 4. Lunch will be catered and includes barbecue with traditional sides. Donations of $5 per person or $20 per family for lunch are welcome but not required.
