Blacknall's Durham Ministry Engagement Team (DMET) is conducting a community service survey this year, running from January 12-31. Your responses will assist DMET and the Session in organizing our resources to serve our neighbors in Durham. The poll will also inform how DMET supports people at Blacknall who are interested in new service opportunities in Durham.
The Sunday School class schedule and descriptions for the spring semester are now available.
Adult classes will cover a variety of ongoing and new topics. You can jump right into any of these classes, even if you did not attend the prior semester of an ongoing study. There is no reason to hesitate, please come!
Want to know more about Blacknall and what it means to be a member? Join us for our next Inquirers and New Members Weekend, Saturday morning, February 15, and Sunday afternoon and evening, February 16. Visit the registration page to sign up and see more details.
Be on the lookout for an opportunity to share how you and your household are engaged in community service. The survey will assist Blacknall’s Durham Ministry Engagement Team and inform how DMET might provide better onramps for people at Blacknall who are interested in service opportunities in Durham.

Did you know that it takes 22 volunteers every Sunday to run Blacknall's Nursery and Children's Ministry? The Nursery at Blacknall is facing an extreme shortage of volunteers on Sunday morning. Last Sunday, the Nursery did not have a single volunteer for the 11 a.m. service. The Nursery is asking the congregation to consider volunteering on a trial basis. Come and see what it is like to serve some of our most adorable Blacknallites. If you decide it's not for you, there's no pressure to continue (we promise!). The Nursery is an important ministry to the children and parents at Blacknall, but it also affects our ability to extend hospitality to our visitors. If you are interested, please contact Leslie Petree.
Blacknall is hosting a concession booth at the Talent Show and needs volunteers to help host this stand. Please sign up online or get in touch with Maria Bradshaw
