A Season of Service
A Letter from Pastor Jakob
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9.
September is a season of service at NorthHaven. As we move from the long days of summer into the rhythms of fall, we are reminded that faith is not only something we believe - it’s something we practice together. This month, our Wednesday evenings will be devoted to mission, each week giving us an opportunity to partner with and hear from organizations who embody compassion and justice in our community.
Our mission statement reminds us that NorthHaven is an inclusive community of Christ followers who inspire, challenge, and equip one another to participate in God’s great story. Each of these partners does exactly that—meeting people where they are, offering dignity and care, and showing us how we can continue to live out Christ’s love in tangible ways.
September Mission Nights
September 3: Tie Blankets for the Unhoused
We’ll begin by making fleece tie blankets for our unhoused neighbors. As cooler nights approach, these small gifts will carry great warmth—both physical and spiritual.
September 10: PFLAG of Norman
PFLAG provides support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals, their families, and allies. Their presence among us reminds us that God’s love is expansive, and that our call is to stand with those who need encouragement and affirmation.
September 17: Care-A-Vans of Norman
Care-A-Vans offers direct assistance to some of the most vulnerable in our community. Their “hands-on” ministry embodies Jesus’ words: “Whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Their work challenges us to live generously and act boldly in service.
September 24: Center for Children and Families (CCFI)
CCFI strengthens families and supports children with programs that promote safety, healing, and growth. Their mission resonates with our call to nurture the next generation and to build a community where every child is valued. Join us this September as we put our faith into action. Each gathering will include fellowship, learning, and service opportunities that remind us of the harvest promised in Galatians—that every act of love plants seeds of hope.
