Dear Northside Drive Friends:

     The beginning of August you received a letter regarding the much needed repairs to our beloved organ. She is nearly 40 years old now, and time has taken its toll on her as with any instrument, car, house or other capital item her age.

 

The funding needs of the project are:

TOTAL NEEDED                                          $200,000

Funds from Humphries Endowment                 $37,000

Funds from Memorial Gifts                              $13,000

Amount to be raised from Congregation          $150,000

Lead Gift from member                                   $25,000

To date pledged from congregation                  $89,453

Remaining amount to be raised                  $35,547

 

     We unanimously voted for the new Hymnal. Let us be unanimous in participation of this pledging campaign for the restoration of our Schantz organ. We have been blessed with one of the finest organs in Atlanta. It is our responsibility to make sure that the youngsters in our congregation are able to enjoy it for many years to come.

     If you have already pledged, please consider an additional amount. If you have not pledged, please call the church office and give Rose, our business manager your pledge.  In addition you may drop by the church with your completed pledge card or pledge online at www.northsidedrive.org. You will have until the end of 2012 to fulfill your pledge, but once we have the total amount pledged the work will begin.

     If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact any member of the committee. Thank you for your generous support of the much needed repairs to our organ.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Organ Restoration Committee

Hartwell Dew, Chair

You may send payment to the church via mail or place your check in the offering plate, clearly designated 'Order for New Hymnal'. Orders will be picked up at the church. No hymnals will be mailed.

"This will help to move goodwill Georgia Baptists

beyond merely ecumenical conversation

to a substantive point of collaboration

on one of society's most pressing issues." 

Shawls ... made for centuries universal and embracing,

symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God.

They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace,

mother, hug, shelter and beautify.

Those who have received these shawls have been

uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to

fly above their troubles...

~ Written in 1998 by: Janet Bristow

The New Baptist Covenant will gather together Thursday-Saturday, November 17-19. What began four years ago with a small group of committed Baptist leaders is accelerating into a thriving grassroots movement striving to live by Jesus' Luke 4 mandate to "bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." This fall the movement will use some of the latest technology to bring NBC II to multiple cities. Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Atlanta, will serve as NBC II's anchor site, hosting worship services and breakout sessions that will be broadcast via satellite to various host cities across the nation. Host cities will provide additional programming and coordinate a day of local missions opportunities on Saturday, November 19. For more information, visit http://newbaptistcovenant.org/.
