Coming This Week
This Sunday is the 25th day after Pentecost. Linda's sermon will be about “The Women Deliverers.” The choir will sing “Lord, Tune Our Hearts.”
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.
The Session will hold its regular meeting after Sunday School.
The Northside Bible Study is today, Wednesday, November 11, at 2:00 p.m. at English Meadows. Everyone is welcome to attend for discussion and fellowship with members and friends.

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.

Lesson Time
Emily Bender was a teacher, both at Shawsville Elementary and at Northside. Here she is giving an Easter Sunday lesson to a group of eager Northside kids -- who are now adults. How many can you identify? A larger image with a key is on the church website.
