"The Characters of Advent:  The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

This Advent series will study some of the lesser characters of the Christmas drama, such as Herod, Zechariah, and Joseph. The class will take a closer look at their roles in the story of Christ's coming, and what their behaviors and attitudes might say to us as the world anticipates Christ's coming again this Christmas.

Thank you for your generous donations of toys, toiletries and clothing to the 2010 Christmas projects.  If you took a tag from the Giving Tree please bring the UNWRAPPED gift to the church by Sunday, December 12. 

Items of new clothing, towels, tote bags, and toiletries for the men and women served through Atlanta Union Mission and The Extension should also be brought to the church by this Sunday.

Questions?  Please contact Barbara Atchley 770-436-0709.

Deacon Spotlight 

Gail Hermance and her husband, Jim met and married in Washington, DC and immediately moved to Atlanta where they fell in love with the warm and caring congregation of Northside drive and joined 32 years ago. Over the years, Gail has enjoyed singing in the choir, working in many capacities with the children and youth programs and various other committees. She is currently serving on the Hospitality Committee, the Care Committee, the Diaconate and ushers.

Gail lives in Sandy Springs and has 2 children, Nathan, who is 26 and works in Atlanta and Michael, who is currently a student at the University of Georgia. Hailing from Maryland, Gail spent many hours while growing up enjoying the sport of "crabbing" in the Chesapeake Bay. Ask her the many ways this can be done. She now enjoys reading, knitting, painting, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. Currently taking a sabbatical for health reasons, Gail's past includes being a travel agent with American Express and teaching pre-kindergarten for 17 years.

* Advent IV, December 19 - We will enjoy the ethereal sounds of the harp, as Ms. Nella Rigell returns once again as our special guest in morning worship. We invite you to participate in all of these events as we "celebrate the season" through music!
