Dear Friend of Northside Drive,

Worship has always been at the center of everything done at Northside Drive Baptist Church, and music has always been a major element in our worship. As you look at the front of our Sanctuary, the cross is the focus, but the pipes of our wonderful organ provide a strong framework for the cross. While many outstanding musicians have contributed to our music ministry as organists, directors and vocalists, our organ has been a constant and central part in our worship since 1974. Our organ, which has served us so well for almost 40 years, now needs our help.

For more information about how you can help, please visit the NDBC website where you will find a letter from the Organ Restoration Committee and a virtual pledging form: http://www.northsidedrive.org/giving.asp.

  Needs After-School Tutors through September 19.

School's back in session and The Andrew P. Stewart Center's after-school tutoring program has begun! The Mission Year volunteer missionaries who will be doing the majority of the tutoring, however, do not arrive until September 19. This leaves the Center understaffed for 4 weeks. The Executive Director, Clayton Davis, and Program Director, Megan Warley, have asked the members of the Board for help in finding tutors to bridge this gap. 

It would be great if NDBC could be able to offer hands-on support for the important work of The Stewart Center, as well as our financial support. I know that giving of our time can sometimes be more difficult than writing a check, but I also know that personal participation reaps huge personal rewards, one being that your heart will swell from the experience. The tutoring program is Monday through Friday, begins at 2:30 PM and concludes at 6 PM. If you can serve please send me an email stating your date(s) preference as soon as possible to Kathy.Harris@equifax.com.
