Pledging for 2022

On behalf of the Finance Committee, I want to thank the congregation for your approval of our proposed 2022 budget of $780,721 at the Church-in-Conference on October 24. Our budget touches every aspect of NDBC's life, from salaries for our staff to missions expenditures that meet local, national, and global needs to hospitality that brings us together as a church family.

Now we ask that you follow your approval with making your 2022 pledge as soon as possible. I'm pleased to let you know that a majority of the Finance Committee and the Church Council have already done so, but our goal is to have participation from all of our members. It is always important that the Finance Committee know what the anticipated contributions for the coming year are, but as we look toward 2022 and the expectation of welcoming a new pastor, it is crucial that we show our commitment.

Thus far we have $188,940 in pledges, so we have a way to go. Please prayerfully consider what you can contribute, and make your pledge as soon as possible. You can do so by contacting NDBC business manager Rose Hidlay at rose@northsidedrive.org or 404-237-8621.

Thank you for your consideration and your participation.

Dave Wooten, Chair

NDBC Nursery Returns to Original Home

Our nursery, available for children from birth to two years old, will return to its home on the ground floor of the education building (first door on the right as you enter the porte-cochere door) this Sunday, November 7. Sitters will be available and ready to receive your little ones.

Children from three to five years old should join their families in worship until after the children's sermon, and then they can join Ms. Mary Lou for children's choir.

For more information, contact Sabrina Thomas, NDBC Children and Youth Ministry Team Chair, at 706-344-7908.

This Sunday in Art & Soul

This Sunday at 9 a.m. Art & Soul will continue its study of the Amy-Jill Levine book Short Stories by Jesus. The class will discuss Chapter 8, which expounds on "the Parable of the Widow and the Judge," as found in Luke 18:1-8. Ruth Kramedjian will facilitate the discussion, and you are invited to join by Zoom.

Choral Guild of Atlanta Concert

After taking a necessary break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Choral Guild of Atlanta is proud and excited to present “Sing Me Home,” music curated to bring comfort to our singers and audience members. During this challenging time, we have spent much more time in our homes. So much so, that home has taken on new significance and meaning. For those of us whose lives have always included rehearsals and concerts, the absence of choirs and group music making was difficult. Art has always been a meaningful response to adversity!

Join us as we return as Atlanta’s longest running chorus and welcome our new music director, Emily Floyd, who will conduct the beautiful music of Brahms, Rutter, and others.

Monday, November 15, 7:30pm, in the NDBC Sanctuary

Tickets are $15 and available online or at the door.
