Christmas Tradition Thanks to all who participated in the Children’s’ Christmas Mart on Saturday, December 17, 2009. It was a smashing success! 177 parents and 364 children participated in the event. 35 volunteers helped children pick out presents or wrap. The volunteers came from Northridge UMC, the girl scouts, and NVCS volunteers. 4 NVCS staff members made sure that all of the children had appointments, greeted the families and also assisted the children. A special thanks to all who showed up early Saturday morning to transport presents over to NVCS. An extra special thanks to everyone who donated items for the children to pick out. Also, Ric, Tandy and Salia Wilson who always make the children smile when they take their pictures. Next year’s Christmas Mart will be on Saturday, December 18, 2010. – Amybeth Lake , chair. |

The Mission of the Church and Society team is to “Live our faith and to seek justice by promoting awareness of social concerns, inspiring community involvement and encouraging political action.”
The Purpose of the team is to work, in accordance with the Book of Discipline, on issues of “peace and world order, human relations, political and economic affairs and health and general welfare.” The team often works with other members of the church and community on local social action projects. In this way, we follow the NUMC mission statement “to extend the hospitality of Christ to the San Fernando Valley” through participating in projects such as the Christmas Mart and CROP Walk. The team also informs the congregation of pertinent issues through movies, books, speakers and special events.
The Structure of the team is consistent with other such committees within the local UMC. The chair of the team is nominated by the Leadership Development Team, with consent of the Pastor and concurrence of the Church Council. The members of the Church and Society team confirm this appointment by open vote. The members of the team consist of the Chair, members responsible for various events and concerns and members who express an interest in the objectives of the committee.
The opinions expressed on various issues by Church and Society are the views of that committee and do not necessarily represent the position of the Northridge United Methodist Church.
