To listen to audio from Newberg Friends Church events, use the menu above to first select the type of service or event.
The Media Ministries team, coordinated by Alan Akins and led by Worship Ministry pastor Mauri Macy, helps set up and then operates the sound
system during each Sunday morning worship service. Our other primary task on Sundays is to record one of the services onto CD which is
duplicated and made available to purchase following the 2nd service.
NFC started podcasting the full Sunday morning worship service in mid-2005. Both MP3 and
AAC-enhanced (iTunes-specific with chapter markers) podcasts are available. These online services allow traveling church members and our missionaries
overseas to continue to enjoy feeling linked to the church by being able to participate in regular Sunday worship, wherever they may be.
Almost all events held in the NFC Sanctuary are recorded, including weddings, memorial services, and other
miscellaneous events. If it happened at the church, it's probably available online.
Beginning April 5, 2009, we no longer include copyrighted musical portions of the Sunday morning worship service.
If you are interested in participating in this ministry by lending your technical skills to our Sunday worship service, please contact
Alan by email or phone.
The audio files available here are recorded from the 2nd Sunday morning worship service. The links below on this page are for this and
last month's services. Each Sunday has individual MP3 tracks for listening to separately and a large single MP3 file of the entire service.
You can also subscribe to the NFC Sunday morning worship services using iTunes or your favorite podcast application. These programs will download the
services automatically once you subscribe. If you use iTunes, click the iTunes link. Otherwise, right-click the Podcast link below, select Copy Link and paste it into your podcast
program. Go to the iTunes Podcast instructions page for help subscribing in iTunes.
