Missions Corner
The Habitat Partnership will dedicate the home we built last Fall NEXT Sunday, July 1, at 1 PM. See map for directions and details. |
Church Offices Closed July 4-6!
As James has marched his way across much of Spain, our NDBC staff here in Atlanta has also extended themselves in an effort to cover the senior pastor responsibilities while still attending to their own job descriptions. We're grateful for their hard work and their sterling attitude. In appreciation, the church offices will be closed July 5 and 6, so that our staff can enjoy a brief holiday respite with their families. Mike Gregg will remain on call for any emergencies or pastoral care concerns. He can be reached on his mobile phone at 404-861-6859 or on his voicemail at work at 404-237-8621.

Please send an email to melissabryson@att.net to reserve a spot on one of the allotted days.

Art that Continues Weaving Us into One
Banner to Enhance Worship
In keeping with the theme of Northside Drive's 60th Anniversary, "The Art of Being Northside Drive," the Worship and Music Ministry Team has enlisted liturgical artist Ellen Phillips to create a banner celebrating the liturgical season of Ordinary Time and our anniversary. An important feature of the banner is the participation of members of the church in its creation. Congregation members are strongly encouraged to contribute high quality woven fabrics or textiles, particularly those with special meaning in relation to the life of the church, to be interwoven in creating the banner.
The artist-made banner will be incorporated into the worship service when we celebrate Northside Drive's 60th anniversary on September 30. When not in use in procession, the banner will be placed in the Narthex as an expression of our church's spiritual life together and the season of Ordinary Time. The Memorial Gifts Committee is contributing to this special project.
Contributions of Fabric Requested
+ Examples of material requested to be contributed by church members: wedding dress material of someone married in the church, pastors' stoles from the past, fabric remnants obtained on a church mission trip, fabric from a child's dedication or someone's baptism, self-woven fabric. [please attach a note explaining the significance of the fabric when it is donated]
+ Woven fabrics, as opposed to knitted or stretchy (t-shirt) material, are needed.
+ Fabrics in whites, creams, shades of green (the symbolic color of Ordinary Time) and jewel tones (like the rich colors of the stained glass windows) are desired.
+ Ideal fabric dimensions would be 6-8 inches wide and 36 inches long, but other smaller sized pieces and ribbon can be incorporated.
It should be noted that fabric will not be returnable and the use of specific material will be decided by the artist.
Please contribute material and textiles for Northside Drive's liturgical and 60th Anniversary banner art. Place fabric in the basket placed under the desk in the Narthex-now through July 15.
Contact Sheila Nicol, chair of Worship and Music, at 706-579-1677 or Syd Janney, coordinator of banner art project, at 404-873-4643 with questions or offers of support. |
A Knitting Ministry 
Several members of our Church are making hand-knitted or hand-crocheted hats for the Craddock Center. The Craddock Center, which was founded by our friend Dr. Fred Craddock, provides the hats as part of its ministry to poor children in Appalachia. Please contact Susan Harlan or Ann Grant if you are interesting in making some hand-knitted or hand-crocheted hats for the Craddock Center. |
