WELCOME!

My Dear Brothers and Sisters

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Thank you for checking Norfield out. I am privileged to serve as Norfield's Senior Minister and let me tell you, great things are happening here. Whatever has led you to our website (and I believe it was God) and if you are seeking a church to call home, a church that believes the Bible is central to our lives or you want to be challenged in your faith, I can tell you that Norfield Congregational Church is the place to be.

Norfield holds that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We take as our rule of life the words: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27; NRSV) and we believe that no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcomed  in this place, in the House of God and in the family of God.

Norfield is a multi-cultural, ethnically diverse congregation working to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people in all places regardless of background and we are a diverse family united by our common faith and mission.

On behalf of the Norfield church family, I welcome you to this Website and to learn more about us. I pray that you will want to learn more about Norfield and take the opportunity to join us for worship.

If we can be of any service to you, please feel free to contact us.

God's Blessings,

The "Rev"

Bernard R. Wilson
 

AN ENCOURAGING WORD

Prepared by Pastor Mark Stewart

The other Sunday as I was getting ready for church, I was convicted about my attitude. I had just read Psalm 100 in my devotion that morning which said:

"Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Enter his gates with Thanksgiving..." (Psalm 100:2,4 NLT)

Even though I wanted to go to church, I realized that I was not bringing with me a joyful heart or a spirit of thankfulness. Instead, I found that my thoughts had drifted to the things I wished were different in my life. It wasn't long before I was feeling neither joyful nor thankful.

Fortunately, the Lord pointed this out to me. I quickly confessed to Him that I was wrong to not be thankful and to have allowed my circumstances to steal my joy. I sang joyfully during the worship time and the Lord met me in a wonderful way that morning.

What is your attitude as you go to church? Does your attitude keep you away from church?Are you glad to be in God's presence? Are you distracted with all your upcoming responsibilities? Do you have a grumpy spirit? Have the problems of your life taken away your joy?

I have noticed that my attitude is always a reflection of how much I am trusting in God. If I am not thankful or enjoy the prescence of God in my life, then I have let the problems and pressures of life become greater than God.

How's your thankfulness and joy today? Could you use an "attitude change?" Why not let the Lord cleanse and renew your heart today?

Here's for a week with a new attitude!
