Join the Dishwashing Crew!

One of the best ways we can help our church lower its carbon footprint is to cut back on (or completely eliminate) single-use items like plastic water bottles, disposable dishes, and utensils. The good news is our church has a nice collection of ceramic dishes and reusable utensils we can use for events, including our Wednesday night dinners and Italian night.

And here’s more good news - someone gets to wash those dirty dishes! If you’d like to be a member of the elite inaugural “Dishwashers For The Lord” crew, you can email or call Monica Brase by email or phone. Benefits of joining the crew include eating the delicious Wednesday night meal (you can eat with the group or after everyone has left), wearing a cool apron and dishwashing gloves, and learning to operate the industrial dishwasher (a skill that looks great on a resume!) And, of course, you’ll be doing something great for our planet.

Do you want to help Northminster minimize our carbon footprint? One of our newest sustainability initiatives is ditching disposables and using the reusable dinnerware we already have at Wednesday night dinners and other meals at church. In order to make this work, we need a few tree-hugging friends to help with dishwashing!

We have a terrific refurbished industrial dishwasher that makes the work fast and easy. Most Wednesday night dinners require less than an hour of time. Want to be a part of the dishwashing squad? Sign up using Civic Champs through the links below!

Why are we doing this? Reusable dishware uses far less energy and resources over its lifetime than disposables. Even with the energy and water needed to wash ‘real’ dishware, the overall environmental impact is substantially less than single-use, throw-away items. The biggest environmental impact of disposables —energy, resources, and carbon emissions—come from sourcing the materials, manufacturing the items, then transporting them. Then, once used, they sit in a landfill or go to an incinerator, neither of which is good for air quality. 

AND purchasing disposables over and over is more expensive than using the dishes and utensils we already own. When we use our own dishes, we save money and keep our planet cleaner!

As we have suffered collective shock after shock and loss after loss - of human lives, of basic rights, of common decency and our democratic way of life - what has been missing is a space to witness and grieve together. Join us for a "Ritual of Lament", where we'll come together in regenerative fellowship.

We often talk about the latest outrage, but not so much about how the national psyche has been shattered and our hearts broken. Through scriptural lament, poetry, plaintive music, simple ritual, and (optional) sharing, we will lay down a burden we scarcely knew we were carrying. By walking through this pain together, we will come away with renewed strength and will stand even taller for all those and all that is vulnerable in our homeland.

Christian Theological Seminary (CTS) presents the 2026 Faith & Action Spring Conference, "From Trauma to Transformation: Healing Pathways for Children, Families & Leaders," a free workshop and keynote address.

"In a moment when trauma is shaping daily life in profound ways—especially for families experiencing or at risk of poverty—Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes offers the insight and hope our city urgently needs. As more households navigate mental health challenges, chronic stress, housing and food insecurity, and intergenerational trauma, we need leaders who can help us understand what’s happening beneath the surface and respond with holistic, equitable solutions. Drawing on psychology, spirituality, and racial justice, Dr. Walker-Barnes provides practical tools for building resilience and supporting transformation across faith communities, nonprofits, and neighborhoods." (from cts.edu)

Please note that you do not have to commit to both the afternoon and morning sessions and can arrive anytime.
