You may recall that the Welsh Men’s Choir performed at one of our services earlier this year. Now’s your chance to hear them in concert — directed by our very own Alison Nixon (NSU Music Director).
You’re invited to the Vancouver Welsh Men's Choir concert at Highlands United Church (3255 Edgemont Blvd, North Vancouver) on Friday May 29th at 7pm. Tickets available at the door.
NSU's first board meeting of the new year is Wednesday, June 17th. We are hosting a community forum as an opportunity for feedback and "blue sky thinking".
This is a great opportunity to meet the new board, share your thoughts on what is working, what could be changed and what might be fun to try!
Light refreshments will be served at 4:30. The open forum will start at 5:00, prior to the formal board meeting at 6:30. Please come and enjoy connecting with your friends and providing your input.

Our elevator installation project has begun, and will eventually connect the Sanctuary to the Fireside Room. We’ll show updates here as the project progresses.

Hi All,
Construction of the elevator has begun!
One of the first things that is needed is for the heating pipes to be re-routed both upstairs and down. Mark (the contractor) has had to shut off the heat in order to cut the pipes and cap them. They will then be rerouted by a plumber (permit required) and then inspected by West Van.
We could be without heat for a few weeks but fortunately the weather is looking good. We recommend dressing in layers that you can put on or take off, as needed, to stay comfortable.
~ Brian Welwood, Co-Chair of Building & Grounds Committee
