I am happy to report that after working with our IT support this morning, our glitches caused by the power outages have been solved and we're all set for a successful live stream this Sunday. Thanks again for your patience yesterday and I hope you will take time to worship (video is included with worship information below), if you haven't already done so.
Last week, I noted that we are beginning another program year together. You'll see many opportunities below and I hope you'll read the newsletter in its entirety and think about how you'll be connected to this community in the coming months.
If you haven't visited our website yet, I encourage you to do that soon and witness the hard work of our Website Task Force. There is much to appreciate about the new website, but I want to lift up several things which I hope will be helpful to you.
- The newsletter is posted directly to the website after it is sent out. If your inbox is unruly or if you want to avoid the extra step of scrolling through your inbox, you can access this newsletter directly via this page.
- Our Sunday morning worship live stream is accessible directly on the website via this page. You can watch directly through the website and avoid going to YouTube.
- Additionally, all videos that are posted to YouTube are available on the website at this page.
- We have an online Friendship Pad! Let us know you're worshipping with us by clicking the "Check-In" box underneath the video on the worship online page.
Finally, last week Bryan Page kicked off a new devotional series. Each Monday, a short devotional will be available featuring beautiful music, scripture, and words of welcome from a fellow Northridge member. Watch on Monday or enjoy at some other point during the week. The video is included below, posted to YouTube, and posted to the website.
We hope this brief devotional is centering and uplifting to you.
Gratefully,
Betsy

This Sunday, Rev. Wendy Fenn will be preaching.
I encourage you to read Jonah 1:1-17 in preparation for worship.
Due to power surges, we experienced significant technical issues with yesterday's live stream. I do hope you'll take time to watch the recorded service this week if you haven't already done so. It continues our sermon series Does This Make You Anxious? and it includes a beautiful anthem sung by Tim Jernigan.

NORTHRIDGE GAVE ME CAMPAIGN
|
|
"Northridge gave me a rock-solid foundation of faith surrounded by love. This faith, instilled in me by members who teach by example, has never wavered even when watching my parents die by millimeters from MS and cancer. The faith and love that has always been here for me has sustained me in joyful and sad times and I am forever blessed."
