Save the Date!

Welcome Back Sunday • September 13

As you're making plans for the months ahead, we'd love for you to save the date for our Welcome Back Sunday celebrations on September 13.

Join us for worship at 9:00 a.m. online or 10:00 a.m. in person. We will celebrate the beginning of a new school year with a special Back-to-School Blessing in both of our services that morning. At 10:00 a.m., children and youth are invited to bring their backpacks for the blessing.

Following our 9:00 a.m. worship service, members of our online community are invited to gather on Zoom at 9:50 a.m. for a virtual coffee time to connect and chat together. Please join host Cheryl Mees at the following link:

Following our 10:00 a.m. worship service, everyone is invited to stay for a delicious BBQ, outdoor games, and community.

We hope you'll mark your calendar now.

We look forward to celebrating with you in September!

Love to Sing? Love Music? Come Make Some Music With Us!

Do you love to sing? Enjoy making music with others? Or maybe you’re simply curious about what it might be like to be part of a fun and welcoming musical group at Norval?

This fall, our Music Director, Alan Forde, is bringing together a new Praise and Music Group! The idea is simple: gather together, explore some fun music, enjoy singing with others, and perhaps even teach the congregation a new song or two along the way.

Interested? Come and see what it’s all about! Meet with Alan and others following the 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, September 13, to learn more and make some plans for the fall.

Whether you’ve been singing for years or simply love music and would like to give it a try, we’d love to have you join us. Everyone is welcome!

Questions? Please reach out to Alan at: fordelex300@yahoo.com
