What to expect
Arriving at Northside
When you arrive at Northside for our Christmas service, one of our volunteers will help direct you to park. When you enter the building, you’ll find signs directing you to the Worship Center. If you have kids, we’ll show you to the Children’s department, just inside the north doors. Once you enter the Worship Center, feel free to sit wherever you’d like.
Service
The service will last about 75 minutes.
It will begin with about 20 minutes of singing. The words of the songs will be projected onto large screens. Many people will sing along, but feel free to participate as you feel comfortable. As you enter you may see a basket of communion cups. Feel free to take one if you like. With these, will remember the death and resurrection of Jesus by eating a small piece of bread and drinking a small cup of grape juice. Later in the service, we will all do this together. One of our leaders will say a prayer, and our preacher will share a lesson from the Bible related to Christmas. Near the end of the service we will take an offering of financial gifts. This offering is for those who call Northside their home. As our guest, you are not expected to give any money. That decision is totally up to you. We’ve been blessed with many opportunities to serve the needs of our community, and through the generosity of our church members, we can meet those needs.
We always sprinkle in a few special elements for our Christmas service. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve got planned this year!
