WEDNESDAYS
MIDWEEK WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICES
WORSHIP, PRAYER, COMMUNION & TEACHING
When: Wednesdays
Time: 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Location: Auditorium
Today there is a desperate need for men and women of God who know how to pray: People who will not be satisfied with what they can accomplish in their power. Instead, they long to see the power and the glory of the Living God invade the Church with supernatural displays of His Deity!
The church in Acts was birthed out of a prayer meeting. The great Revivals in America were begun with prayer! It is time for Christ-followers to fall on their knees and pray to the One who can change our country, our community, our church, our families, and our very lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is clear that the place where believers worship will be a place of prayer. It is our desire that Northside will be known as a house of prayer. Join Pastor Rocky as we gather for a time of worship, prayer, communion and teaching. A time where we humble ourselves and ask our Heavenly Father to show us mercy and to anoint our lives and our church with His power! Asking for revival in our world and lifting needs in our church to the Lord. Simply come, no registration is needed.
Children’s programming and childcare are available until 7:30 PM on Wednesdays.
THE RACE
At Northside, we call our spiritual development process “THE RACE.” Hebrews 12:1 tells us to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Paul said, “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Unfortunately, many people start the race strong but never finish, either getting discouraged or hindered by the sins that easily trip us up. Our desire is that each member crosses the finish line a winner!

Pastor Steve will share how to best study your Bible – you will learn how to unlock truths of the Bible and how to apply these truths to your life.
Running a race requires discipline. Our enthusiasm will help us get started but it won’t take us across the finish line. The same is true in the Christian life.

WOMEN OF N BIBLE STUDIES
SUNDAYS
Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath
By Priscilla Shirer
Facilitators: Emily Purvis & Jennifer Ezelle
Dates: Sundays, October 6 – November 10 (6 Sessions)
Time: 5:00 – 6:30 PM
Materials: Workbook $14: Available for purchase on 10/6 (cash or check)
Location: ROOM 245 – LEXINGTON CAMPUS
One of the greatest challenges among women in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. We constantly strive to complete the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has for us. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God’s greatest
gifts. In the Old Testament, Sabbath was given to the Israelites as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, then the concept of Sabbath will change your life.

Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, “Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you.”
Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.
Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus’ world, following in the footsteps of the women who came face-to-face with the Living God. Over 7 sessions, examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today.
Please contact Elizabeth Gressette for more information at 803-873-5674, egressette@bellsouth.net.
OUR MISSION is “to make disciples” by urging all people to BELIEVE in Jesus, BELONG to His family, and BECOME like Him.
