Coming Sunday
This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent. Linda's message is “The Silent Word (Peace).” The choir will sing “Let the Christ Child In” to enhance the worship service. The Green family will light the second Advent candle.
Sunday School starts after Fellowship time. The Adult Forum will continue its study of Christian history. The adult Bible study will continue with John, and the kids will be having a short learning time with Susan downstairs during church time after they have their time in the sanctuary. |

Annual Reports It's coming up on that time again -- annual reports are due to be presented at the congregational meeting in January. Those in leadership positions should begin compiling your notes and data so you can have your full report to Bruce by Dec. 30. Format isn't important because the content will be dropped into a template. Please email your report to secretary.northside@gmail.com |
