Year End Events

Praise the Lord for each of you! It is that time of the year

again and we have a variety of activities planned. For starters, you

need to know that Thursday, December 31st, we will have our An-

nual New Year’s Eve Program at 7:00pm in the Family Life

Center. That will be followed by our first Worship Service of the

New Year at 12:30am. We will then par take in our Annual New

Year’s Breakfast beginning at 1:00am on January 1, 2016. We

encourage each member to make plans to attend and bring your

family. Let’s start the new year off the way we want to end this

current year; with our family in the presence of God.

We plan all of these activities because we realize that during

this time of the year there are a lot of members, new members spe-

cifically, who desire to be apart of something during the holiday.

We also realize that there are members whose families do not at-

tend Church regularly but those family members will attend spe-

cial programs during this time of year. Many of them make resolu-

tions and are seeking to get their lives right with God, so we plan

activities to try to accommodate them and teach them the gospel.

Just as with everything we do, we strive to save souls and help

souls stay saved. May God bless us all in the new year!

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the

Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save

souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our

sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take

advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with

members who are eager to study with you. If you do not

share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit

today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the

chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and

the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance

to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-

by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome

you to investigate what you hear and see today. You

will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive

biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-

formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our

special guest! Please come again.

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Matt. 28:19-20 is the great

commission given to members of

the body of Christ. As Christians,

it is our responsibility to Tell,

Talk and Teach others about

Jesus. Telling someone about

Christ will often open the door to

Talk with them about Him. You

can then Teach them or invite

them to Church where they can be

taught. We encourage each Chris-

tian to take advantage of such

opportunities. If you know of a

prospect, and for some reason

cannot conduct a personal Bible

study, please give their contact

information to Bro. and/or Sis.

Oliver or to one of our Leaders.

Welcome to the Family!!
