The Week Ahead and Beyond
This Sunday is the Second Sunday After Pentecost. Linda's message will be on “The Calling.” Liz Allen will be providing the offering of music. We will also celebrate communion and write notes in Caring Cards while enjoying lemonade.
A reminder that the Northside Bible Study will be on Thursday, June 4, at 2:00 p.m. at English Meadows. All are welcome to attend this study and fellowship.
Linda has been selected to be a delegate to the General Assembly from the Presbytery of the Peaks. She will be participating from June 22 until July 3. On Sunday, June 28, Jan McGilliard, a commissioned lay pastor and member of Blacksburg Presbyterian Church, will preach. On Sunday, July 5, Lucian will lead the worship service.

Work is underway to collect, correct, and update contact information for Northside's members and friends. This includes a check of mailing address, email address, phone numbers, and birthdates (year optional). There are paper copies of directory info in the Narthex to check. Once all the updates are in, a new directory will be available this summer.

Monday Night Supper
The meal this week was baked chicken, potato salad, bread, fruit, cookies. Thanks to Alex for covering while the Harpers were in Florida. Helpers included Marshall, Barbara, Marge and George, Linda, and Susan.
Bag Collection: If you have groceries delivered from Kroger, please save the large delivery bags and bring them to the church. If you have friends who get deliveries and don't know what to do with the bags, we can use them. They are the right size to pack multiple meals for delivery to the parking lot. It is a good way to recycle the bags, reducing the need to order brown paper shopping bags.
Volunteers to help prepare and pack meals are always welcome and needed. |
