Coming Sunday and Beyond
This Sunday is the celebration of the Baptism of the Lord. Linda's message is “When Did You Die?” The choir will perform “Ascribe to the Lord” to enhance the worship service.
We will collect the 2 Cents a Meal offering, which Presbytery uses to fight hunger locally and beyond. The Monday Night Supper mission has received a grant from this offering for many years, as has the Interfaith Food Pantry.
We will hold the annual congregational meeting right after church on Sunday. The Annual Report will be reviewed, the terms of call for Linda for 2026 will be presented and approved, and members of the Nominating Committee elected. If you didn't pick up a copy of the Annual Report on Sunday and would like a PDF copy to read, email northside.secretary@gmail.com and a copy will be sent.
As a reminder, the Officer Retreat will be on Saturday, January 17.
