For Your Information

 

Déjà vu!  Video and Audio Recordings of our worship services are yours for the borrowing and are in the Small Meeting Room (across from the Church Office).  Feel free to sign out a tape for yourself, a shut-in or a neighbor.

 

ALSO, we’re on the Web in 2 places!  (Place 1) On Youtube.com, we have 2 three-minute videos—a relaxing video of our church and a quick tour of what's behind our doors.  Here’s how to find the 2 videos:  Using your internet browser (such as Internet Explorer or Foxfire) type YouTube.com in the web address box.  Then, type npumc1441 in the search box, and click on either tiny picture.  Clicking the blue npumc1441 gets you to our “Channel” page—which contains other interesting information (and the ibiubuok link to Charlie’s trains—sorry, I couldn’t help it).  (Place 2) Our church website has info about our church groups, ministries, calendar of events, as well as other interesting links.  Here’s how to reach it:  Using your internet browser, EITHER type in web address box http://www.gbgm-umc.org/npumcnj/ OR type in the search box “New Providence United Methodist Church New Jersey”.  Clicking the blue words New Providence United Methodist Church gets you to our website.

Re-Employment Seminar:  Monday, November 2, 2009, 7:30 p.m. Topic:  Mechanics Of The Job Search:  This program will review the basics of managing a pro-active job search including answering ads, working with employment agencies and executive search consultants (headhunters), identifying the “hidden job market” and using the principles of direct mail to go after those jobs that are not advertised (67% of all available positions), and an introduction to networking.

 

Re-Employment Seminar:  Monday, November 9, 2009, 7:30 p.m. Topic:  Advanced Interviewing Skills.  Are you getting job interviews but few, if any, job offers?  If so, your problem may lie in how well you interview.  This intensive workshop will cover the basics of the job interview from the prospective of the Director of Personnel.  You will learn pre-interview strategies, how to handle stress and non-stress questions, how to sell yourself, how to avoid talking to much, how to take notes during the interview, how to maintain your concentration, ways of evaluating how well you did, strategies for “closing the sale,” and much more.

 

WANTED: SUNDAY MORNING REFRESHMENT HOSTS.  Have you noticed that the “After Worship Refreshment Sign-up Sheet” is a bit…empty?  How about signing-up for a Sunday or 2?  (It’s located by the New Room entrance.) Being a Refreshment Host/Hostess is not difficult AND we even have a small supply of napkins, table cloths, juice, coffee and treats that can be used if you don’t feel comfortable baking, or buying store-bought coffee-cakes—or for whatever reason, to make it as easy as possible.  (Directions for coffee making are even posted inside one of the cabinet doors.)  You might try teaming-up with a church friend to split the responsibilities.  By doing so, you’ll not only provide us with a tasty snack BUT you may be the one who encourages a new family to stick around and say, “this is the friendliest church we have ever attended.”  We appreciate your “Ministry of Hospitality”!  Thanks.

 

Food Pantry: Our pantry is now in need of more canned food contributions for needy people.  Baby food is always needed and much appreciated.  Help fight against hunger by leaving your food donations on the Food Pantry shelves located in Cabinet #3 in the lower hallway.
