Welcome Home! Come Walk With Us!

Worship 11:00 am, September through May
10:00 am, June through August
Worship services at Northside roughly follow the Service for the Lord's Day. Music is eclectic--we sing traditional hymns, contemporary praise music, and a great deal of international music, ordinarily using piano and organ for accompaniment. We have a wonderful choir, directed by Marya Katz, which offers praise and inspiration through a variety of music styles September through May; click here to view the anthems scheduled for this year. We frequently are blessed by the addition of flute, violin, guitar, drums and rhythm instruments, harp, dulcimer, etc. Our members have many musical gifts.
Please enjoy the Adult Choir's Cantata - "Come to the Table" by Joseph M. Martin and narrated by Drew Taylor.

Dress is casual here--worshipers wear everything from jeans to Sunday best. We sit in chairs, not pews, and we use the sanctuary for frequent fellowship meals as well. We love to spend time around the table with each other! The first Sunday of each month is "Cookie Sunday," when we enjoy refreshments after church together.
Children play a major role in our service, and every Sunday the pastor spends a "time with children," talking with them about how faith interacts with their lives and issues. There is a bookshelf of children's books in the rear of the sanctuary, and children may take a book with them to their seats. We also provide worship bags with crayons and paper. Little ones absorb much more of a worship service than we imagine, but they enjoy having something to do with their hands during quiet times. We welcome children of all ages in our worship service; however, there is an infant/toddler nursery provided, if desired, under the care of our Nursery Attendant, Susan Heinze.
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated the second Sunday of each month at our 11:00 am service. All are welcome at the Lord's table. Some special services during the year are the Hanging of the Greens, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, Maundy Thursday Communion Service, World Communion Sunday, Easter Sunrise Service.
