Prayer Chain
From the beginning, North Spring has had an active prayer chain. It has been a vital part of the spiritual life of the church. The chain, currently led by Grace Lakey, consists of a 5 member calling team and about 40 households receiving prayer requests through email or by phone. God has truly blessed our congregation through the power of prayer.

Women of The Spring
Women's Fellowship meets the 4th Thursday of each month at 7pm. All women are welcome to join in the Women of the Spring (WOTS). Each month there is a planned program or activity. Each year the WOTS put on a lavish Mother-Daughter Banquet the weekend before Mother's Day. They also support many needy causes, as well as keeping the kitchen under control. Additionally, they provide funeral and memorial dinners throughout the year. But mostly strong relationships are formed as these women work and play together, and not to mention eating great food!
Scrap & Snack
Come and scrapbook with us the 2nd Friday of each month at 7:00pm. Babysitting is available. Don't worry if you don't know where to start or what to bring - just bring your pictures and we'll help you get started. Great fun and great fellowship!
College Connections
Students oftentimes drift away from church while in college. To help these kids maintain a stronger balance in their walk with the Lord, four activities are being planned for each North Spring college student:
- Sending the monthly Pathfinder (newsletter)
- Sending one care package per semester *
- E-mailing a monthly devotional and personal note
- Sending a birthday card
* Care package items expected to come largely from donations
