Summer Worship in the Chapel

Energy, Intimacy, & Hymnody

July 6-August 31, 2014

    Energy: We are lowering our utility expenses by moving into the Chapel this summer. This expression of stewardship is environmentally responsible.

    Intimacy: The Chapel is the church's original Sanctuary built in 1954; for many members, it is coming home. Also, the space encourages a close, friendly atmosphere.

    Hymnody: The choir is taking a summer sabbatical (so as to return rested in the fall), so we will be singing new and familiar hymnody from our hymnal, The Worshiping Church.

"What are these things we believe and why?"

Summer Church School

June 1-August 24

9:30-10:30 AM 

     Join us for Summer Church School! On some Sundays, we'll learn music: songs about the Bible, silly songs, and fun instruments. Then, we'll switch to missions! We'll hear stories about the Smith family in South Africa and the Green family in the United States, plus crafts and meaningful activities. If you're a child in Preschool-finishing 5th grade, come learn Missions & Music! We'll meet in room #102 next to the nursery. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel at rachel@northsidedrive.org .

     Would you like to participate in beautifying our Chapel this summer? Now is the time to sign up. The price is $100 or you can share the cost with someone. If you are interested please call Nancy F. Davis at 404-252-9154.

     Come join us for fun July 10-August 14 for interesting classes, lunch and fellowship. We will begin Thursday, July 10, at 10 AM, at The Cathedral of St. Philip. For more information, contact the LifeSpan office at 404-237-7307.

   Sunday, July 13, 2014, there will be a parent, child, church dedication for Kellan Edward Tatum and his family, Dan & Rebecca Tatum, during the 11 AM worship service.

Family Lunches after 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.

For more information contact Amanda Gregg at amanda_agd@yahoo.com.  

     NDBC will honor the tradition of "the laying on of hands" as we ordain three new deacons. David Cook, Jane Lamkin, and Cyndi Vander Ven will be ordained during the morning worship service in the NDBC Chapel on August 10.

     As has been our tradition over the last several years, all of the congregation will be invited to participate in this time of blessing, celebration, and "setting-apart" for ministry.

Northside Drive Baptist Church Work Days

A copy of the complete work day schedule can be found in the Chapel entrance hallway or online at http://www.northsidedrive.org. 

     It's time to sign up! We have a wonderful leader and a topic that speaks to all busy women who spend so much time serving others; you need time away to refresh yourself, to remember God and the person God made you to be. Grab a friend from NDBC or outside the congregation or come on your own. You will be personally nourished and feel more connected than ever to the strong, faithful, fun-loving women of our church. We welcome everyone...except men. Sorry.

NDBC Women's Spiritual Retreat 2014

BE STILL AND KNOW:

LISTENING FOR GOD

IN THE MIDST OF LIFE

     We all long to be refreshed, but busy complex lives distract us from the voice of God. How can we be more mindful of God's faithful presence with us and the inherent holiness of life? Join us for our Women's Spiritual Retreat where we will have the opportunity to encounter ancient and modern spiritual practices. Explore and learn with our community of faith-filled women and on your own in an inviting natural setting. Let your sacred curiosity and grounding be enlarged as God invites holy aliveness in each person in both rest and activity, in both silence and sound. Perhaps there is a new way of LISTENING AND SEEING awaiting you.

     Our retreat facilitator, Barbara Dolan Meinert, D.Min., is a spiritual director/companion with 30 years' experience in this calling she loves. A mother of three and grandmother of seven, she feels blessed to journey spiritually with individuals and groups and to conduct retreats and workshops.
