Christmas at Northside

Advent

Advent Devotional

Print & Digital Versions Available November 23

We talk a lot about the glory of God, especially during this time of year – but what is glory?  The glory of God is the weight of God’s presence and the light of God’s being.  This is what we’ll be exploring during the season of Advent this year, as we begin with the story of a baby named Ichabod, meaning ‘no glory,’ and move to another baby called Immanuel, God with us! Books will be available for pickup on Sunday, November 23. You can also sign up for daily emails.

Service of Hope

Wednesday, December 10 at 6:30PM

This season is filled with bright lights, merry greetings, and lots of laughs. Yet, for many, it is also filled with an empty seat at the table, grief, and pain. We invite all who seek the light of Christ and the hope that comes with it to join us for this sacred time to worship together with prayer, lament, and hearing a word that can bring hope.
