What ever happened to "prayer meetin's?" Our needs are so immense that two minutes of prayer at church every week seems rather trivial.  At NDBC we would like to bring prayer to the forefront of our Wednesday night activities this Fall through study, sharing, silence and song. We think we can do this by getting back to basics and joining God and each other in prayer each Wednesday at 6:45PM.

 

Remaining Schedule:

November 11 - Mike Gregg (Responsibility: The Lost Sheep, Coin and Son)
November 18 - James Lamkin (Acceptance)

 

Dream.Think.Be.Do. is a small group video study for twenty to thirty-somethings to help build a 21st Century faith. DTBD features the insights of over twenty-five theologians and teachers at the top of their game. Each of the twenty self-standing sessions contains a 20-minute DVD segment drawn from the critically acclaimed "Living the Questions" series-updated with connecting narrations, graphics, and music to engage a postmodern generation. The first volume Dream is 5 sessions long.  Sundays at 7PM at the church in the Undercroft and Youth area. You may sign up by emailing Mike Gregg at mike@northsidedrive.org.

 

 

RECHARGING AT RECHARGE!
 
NDBC Youth joined other youth and adult leaders from across the state at the second annual ReCharge youth fall spiritual retreat on the weekend of October 2-4. The retreat is sponsored by CBF-Georgia and was held at the beautiful Woodland Christian Camp about an hour west of Atlanta. Youth participated in workshops, worship experiences, and activities related to this year's theme "Logos" (Word), focusing on the spiritual discipline of reading and studying Scripture. Youth were also provided an entire afternoon of "free time," which many took advantage of to go canoeing on the lake, hiking, relaxing in the cool warmth of the fall afternoon, play Frisbee with friends, or any number of other ways to enjoy the wonders of nature.  Other highlights of the weekend included a bonfire and a photo scavenger hunt in which youth creatively interpreted selected Scripture passages and took photographs for a community slideshow.
 
Below are some words from some of our youth and leaders who attended the retreat:

"It was a great experience for me and I can't wait 'til next year."
-Emily
 
"The retreat at ReCharge was very relaxing. I learned a lot about how to consult God and understand his path for me." 
- Avery
 
"Recharge was a great experience because I was able to get to know the youth from Northside Drive.  I also enjoyed sitting in on the different rotations offered, and listening to what each had to say.  I had a lot of fun!" 
- Courtney
 
"Mah (my) favorite part of ReCharge was the free time.  It gave me a chance to just reflect on my feelings and thoughts, and I got to go canoeing!" 
- Garrett
 
"I was a visitor to NDBC but everyone made me feel so welcome.  It was a great experience . . ."
- Nina P.

 

If you want to know more about ReCharge, the youth will certainly be happy to share all about their experience!
