Weekly eUpdate

January 8, 2025

New Year -- New Look

Welcome to the new look of the Northside Weekly eUpdate. Instead of an attachment that must be opened, all the news is right here in the email. There will be a backup version that will be mailed to our homebound members. Please provide feedback on the look and usefulness of this new format.

Coming Sunday and Beyond

This Sunday, Linda’s sermon will be on “What Do We Mean When We Say ‘Baptism’?” The choir will perform “Down In the River to Pray.” The Sunday School classes will meet after Fellowship time.


The annual meeting of the congregation will be on Sunday, January 19, right after worship. The purpose is to elect the 2025 Nominating Committee, vote on Terms of Call for the Minister, and receive the Session Annual Reports and Budget.


Officer on Call

The officer on call for the week of Jan. 5-11 is Lisa Garcia; she can be reached at 540-250-2869.
