Little Church In Narrows Wants To Open Its Doors To More People!
Members, Friends, and Northwood Community:
The Northwood Advent Christian Church is asking for
help in "Opening Up" to people with challenges that make it
difficult for them to attend services or events in our church. We
know that the stairs are difficult and we also know that many people
who have struggled to attend a wedding, funeral, concert or other
events, have either not come at all or felt uncomfortable getting in
and out with wheelchairs or other special aids. We are attempting to
remove that barrier by installing a small elevator. After speaking
with several companies and reviewing several estimates, we have
found a unit that meets our needs.
Northwood Advent Christian Church is small in size
but huge in heart, just like our town. We will be keeping the
community up to date on this project. Anyone interested in helping
us reach this goal to more fully serve our community can send
donations made payable to Northwood Advent Christian Church, c/o
Arlene Johnson, Treasurer, 154 Olde Canterbury Road, Northwood, NH
03261 or call 942-5410.
Christine Averill, Trustee
These two young boys from Northwood, Tyler Hartford,
age 8 and Campbell Hartford age 5, decided that instead of asking
for gifts for themselves for their birthdays this year they asked
friends and family to bring donations for the Cocheco Valley Humane
Society. The theme for both parties was animals and the boys invited
the Granite State Zoo to come and give a presentation.
New Hampshire is center stage for those hoping to
secure the Presidential party nomination in the upcoming "first in
the nation" primary. Ann Romney, wife of Mitt Romney, met with area
residents at a coffee and conversation time hosted by Bob and Sue
Holden at their lakeside Northwood home. Mrs. Romney, center in the
photo, is shown with the Holdens, bringing her husband’s message of
Believe in America to New Hampshire.
"Scaring for a Cause"
The Halloween walk is the senior project of Amanda
Horne from Coe Brown Northwood Academy. The walk will be held on
Saturday, October 22 from 6:00 to 10:30 pm at the Coe Brown trail to
the island. There will be signs posted, and people to help with
parking. At 6:00 pm will be a walk for the younger group or those
not interested in being scared. At 8:00 pm the scary walk will
begin.
All of the proceeds from this event ($4.00 per
walker) will be donated to the Boston Children’s Hospital. Please
help Amanda reach her goal of $1500 for the Boston Children’s
Hospital
For more information on how you can help or to make
a donation, please contact

Fright!
