Northside Presbyterian Church

Weekly eUpdate

July 15, 2026

The Week Ahead and Beyond

This Sunday is the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost. Linda's message will be “Weeding Woes”. Robin Begnoche and Marya Katz will sing "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" as the offering of music. After worship, we will enjoy lemonade on the lawn. 


Another Blast From the Past

The youth of Northside gathered at the front of the sanctuary on wooden benches to hear the chilren's sermon. How many remember and can identify these cute kids, who are now in their 30s and 40s? There are also a number of adults in the background to be tagged. A larger image with a key is on the church website.
