@ 10:30 AM in the Conference Room

     Beginning on Wednesday, September 12, from 10:30-11:30 AM, in the Conference Room. I once again will offer a Fall Bible Study. This year we will study each upcoming Sunday's four lectionary texts: Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel. There will be study sheets distributed in advance containing each of the scriptures.

     I am excited about this because the group's insights will help me prepare for the upcoming Sunday's sermon based on these same texts.

--James Lamkin, Pastor

Led by Jim Mahaffey

October 10-31 @ 7 PM in the Parlor

        Jim Mahaffey's study and discussion group will cover the development of nuclear power and its many interesting offshoots, diversions, disasters, triumphs, secrets, and nearly forgotten incidents.Nothing is off-limits, including the disaster at the Fukushima power plant in Japan. The text will be Mahaffey's work of non-fiction, Atomic Awakening: A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Power, available from Amazon.com and fine bookstores everywhere, in hardback, paperback, Kindle, e-book, used, or in Chinese. Copies will be for sale at the door, and admission is free. Come for the enlightenment.

       As a continued celebration of our 60th Anniversary over the next twelve months, we will be privileged to see the work of twelve visual artists from our congregation. We will have works by a wood turner, a painter, a quilter, a photographer, a weaver---all on a Sunday morning, before and after worship, in the Narthex. Look for the notices in the Pinnacle and the eNotes, and celebrate the visual arts at Northside Drive Baptist Church.

     Join with other NDBC families for after-church lunches. Everyone is invited for a time of fun and fellowship together! We hope to see you there.

      Our 4th Annual Silent Auction will take place the week of November 5-9. Our goal this year is to raise $15,000, which will help us purchase new technology equipment and repair and upgrade some of the existing computers. The Auction is our main fundraiser during the year which enables us to offer some enrichment opportunities that tuition alone cannot cover. During the past couple of years, auction proceeds have allowed us to create a new library, purchase new furniture, display boards, and light tables, and offer Mandarin to all our 3, 4, and 5 year olds.

Here is how you can help:

   -- Make a donation of an item or a service you provide, to be auctioned. We have a great list of suggestions available in the Preschool.

   -- You can bid, bid, and bid! All items can be previewed on line at ndbcpreschool.org, or in person during the week of November 5. Winners will be announced on Friday, November 9, at 1:30 PM.

   -- Tell others about our auction and invite them to bid along. Many cash and carry items will be available too.

       The mission of the Preschool is to lay a foundation for lifelong learning in the loving and safe environment that Northside Drive Baptist Church offers. With your help we can achieve this and so much more.
