Coming This Week

This Sunday is the 24th day after Pentacost. Linda will offer how “We Will Serve the Lord” in her sermon. The choir will sing “I’ll Follow My Lord/Santo, Santo, Santo.” We will collect the 2 Cents a Meal offering.

In Sunday School, we will continue the study of the book "How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith"  by Mariann Edgar Budde. There is one copy of the book available in the church office.

The Northside Bible Study will be on Wednesday, November 11, at 2:00 p.m. at English Meadows. Everyone is welcome to attend for discussion and fellowship with members and friends.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Dear Church Family,

As I sit down to write this, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. For 20 wonderful years, Northside Presbyterian Church has been my home away from home, my sanctuary, and my spiritual family. The love, prayers, and fellowship we shared during my time with you shaped who I am today, and I carry those precious memories with me every day. When I decided to pursue the vision of opening a school, I knew I was embarking on a huge journey but knowing that I had my church family standing behind me made all the difference. I want to extend my deepest, most heartfelt thank you for your incredible generosity and unwavering support. Your financial contributions, prayers, and encouragement have helped turn this dream into reality. Because of your kindness, we are creating a nurturing and safe educational environment where young minds can learn, grow, and thrive. Every desk, book, and classroom carries a piece of your love and dedication to this mission. Though distance separates us, the bond we share in Christ remains as strong as ever. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am forever grateful for the seed you have sown into the lives of these children and our community.

May God bless each one of you abundantly!

With LOVE and GRATITUDE,
Sophia Frimpong

Ka-Bloom!

As a prelude to Emily Bender's memorial service, members, family, and friends gathered in the Old Kitchen to create a selection of flower arrangements in memory of Emily's love of gardening and her sharing of flowers she had grown.

The arrangements graced the front of the church for the service to supplement the arrangement from the florist. Those who attended the service and fellowship afterward were urged to take an arrangement for home or to share.

Thank you to Ellen, Emily's daughter, for arranging this fun and meaningful event.

Stewardship Season

During this Stewardship season, think about the gifts that God has given you and how, despite our small membership, Northside's members and friends have continued to faithfully work to further God’s kingdom and serve His people. We are grateful for your past gifts and we ask that you please prayerfully consider your pledge for the upcoming year. 

There is still time to complete and mail or drop off your Pledge form at the church even through the November 1 deadline has passed. You can also copy the form and send it as an email attachment to NPC Associate Treasurer, Emily Davis (emily@epdavis.net). Extra copies of the form are in the Narthex.
