Mission Study Day is May 22
Everyone in the North Buffalo Church family is invited to our Mission Study Day. As we begin our search for a new pastor, this will be an exciting and informative way to look at who we are as a congregation, what we are looking for in a minister, and what we hope for the future of our church and its ministry.
The event will be held in the fellowship hall on Saturday, May 22, starting at 10 a.m. It will include a catered luncheon by Crystal’s Catering and will end by early afternoon. As a precaution, the church will supply bottled water, but those who want other drinks should bring them along.
Representatives from Washington Presbytery’s Committee on Ministry will be on hand to lead the meeting and guide the discussion. We will also be sharing the results of the congregational survey.
To get an idea of how many will be attending the meeting and luncheon, we are asking participants to fill out this form and submit it to the church by Sunday, May 16. We will hold a congregational meeting following the service that day.
Set aside the date so that you can be part of this important event. See you there!

Mission Statement
We the members of the North Buffalo Presbyterian Church understand that God has bound us together spiritually as the body of Jesus Christ. We understand that God has called us to be Christ's church, to represent God in the world and carry God's reconciling work and message to the world. In response to God's love and care, we have committed ourselves to carrying that mission by:
- Honoring and praising God in our worship
- Proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and reaching out to others with the good news
- Teaching the Scriptures and Christian ideas and devoting ourselves to personal study and prayer
- Providing fertile ground where people's relationships to God can grow and where talents are recognized and put to use in the work of the kingdom
- Living as examples of Jesus Christ and glorifying God through our lives
- Caring for each other and providing opportunities for fellowship
- Reaching out to our community and our world through our service and stewardship of our resources

In June, the session and trustees determined that North Buffalo will reopen for Sunday morning worship only on July 5. The letter linked below was sent via email, and was mailed to those without email addresses. Please read this letter carefully. In order to safely open, there are several safety measures that we must take, which are included in the letter.

As we begin to reopen, the adult Sunday School lesson will be still available on Sunday morning at 10:00 am on our website on the Sunday Sermons page. The Sunday School class will not be meeting in person yet.
The in-person worship service will be recorded on Sunday mornings. That service will be available both on our Facebook page and on our website on the Sunday Sermons page. However, the worship service will now post Sunday afternoon. As we are going to be learning how this will work, the exact time is not certain just yet. These will still be available to view at your convenience, including sermons and lessons from previous weeks.

The two files at right were emailed to church members for whom we have email addresses in May. They should also have been mailed out. These are a short update about where we are in our reopening process, and when you may hear more.
