Northside Presbyterian Church

Weekly eUpdate

August 6, 2025

Coming Sunday

Linda will preach on “Canticle of the Turning.” Mark Freeman and Thomas DeBusk will provide our special music. It is 2 Cents a Meal Sunday so bring your coins for the bin.


After church, we will have Lemonade on the Lawn (or in the Narthex depending on the weather).


Happy Birthday Lou Brown

The Northside Deacons are celebrating Lou Brown’s 99th birthday on Sunday, August 10, at 2:00 in the Game and Craft Room at English Meadows, 3400 South Point Drive. We cordially invite all friends of Lou to attend! (No gifts, please.) Lou's actual birthday is on August 12.

Nursery in the Sanctuary


The theme of the service last Sunday was "Jesus Loves the Little Children" so the nursery was moved to the playground in the sanctuary. We are experimenting with having the children being in the sanctuary during the service. 

​Monday Night Supper

Monday's meal was crispy chicken strips, mixed vegetables, potato salad, fruit, and cookies. There were 75 meals served. Helpers were George and Marge, Barbara, Ann Marie and Maria, Marshall, Alex, and Georgia, Susan, Linda, and Bruce and Heidi.


​Officer on Call

The officer on call for the week of Aug. 3-9 is Bruce Harper. He can be reached at 540-392-3597. The officer on call for the week of Aug. 10-16 is Ann Marie Connor. She can be reached at 540-392-2490.
