Loving Our Beavercreek, OH Community
If you are wondering why we have temporarily replaced the church sign picture on the main page of the church’s website, or why Facebook is blowing up with local businesses and concerned citizens posting their own beaver-adorned business or personal pictures, it is because last week Buc-ee's sued a mini mart in the quaint little town of Beavercreek, Ohio; and so, businesses are fighting back. In the wake of the suit, elected officials, local business owners, and residents have slammed Buc-ee's for what they say is an aggressive overreach by a massive company against a small business owner.
Northridge UMC is standing in solidarity with our Beavercreek friends. It is disconcerting that a community who has beavers all over their buildings and advertisements, due to their name, can be treated like this, but we want to let our neighbors know that we are standing with them and praying for them!
We love you Beavercreek!

I Am Saintly
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches us to claim, “I Am Saintly!”
To be saintly means to resemble a saint; ie: to live and lead a holy life. It often describes people who exhibit virtue, goodness, and a life dedicated to God. Saintly behavior is characterized by holiness, love and compassion, reflecting a commitment to living a life that aligns with God’s will and ways, and a walk with Christ Jesus.
Come and make sure that you are one with God, holy, and will one day be called a saint, when you pass from this earth!
We will remember the saints at NUMC who have passed away since the end of October, 2024, lighting a candle in their honor, reading their name, and ringing a bell. If you have had a loved one pass in the last year, please let us know. We would love to name them as one of the saints!
Our readings for the day are from: Romans 1:7; Ephesians 3:14-21; & Psalm 16:1-3.
Know that you are forgiven and always welcome here, just as you are, saint or sinner!
