Passion/Palm Sunday at Northminster Presbyterian Church of Evanston

03/25/2026

Folks,
the Fraudsters are at it again. Pastor Michael is not sending out emails from an odd address asking you to contact him to discuss something. That is a scam. Please do not respond to it. He will only send emails from his north min pres dot org email address.
It's a shame people take advantage of the looming Easter season to try and cheat folks.
Take care.
We never ask for money or gift cards by private email.
