After Church Tea / Coffee
Tea/coffee is served every Sunday after the morning service. This is a great way to meet other members of the congregation.
Choir
Music at NBUC is led by a choir (SATB – soprano, alto, tenor, bass) of approximately 20 members, accompanied by a magnificent pipe organ. Each service is planned so that music and the spoken word are integrated.
