Total Commitment Day Kickoff!
Praise the Lord! Today marks the kick off for our Annual
Total Commitment Day (October 1, 2017). We encourage each
member to make a spiritual and financial commitment by signing
one of the green commitment cards today. Each year we ask that
every family donate $300.00, or however much you can afford,
toward Total Day. It is suggested that you begin donating a little
each week starting today, through Total Day 2017, so that we might
reach our goal of $75,000.000 (if you give $8.33 each Sunday,
starting today, you will have donated approximately $300.00 by
Total Day). These funds are used for three major purposes: (1) to
help fund our 38th Annual Homecoming in November, (2) to
help with our building program, (3) to help balance the budget
at the end of the year.
Total Day is also designed as a challenge to all members
to recommit themselves to the work of the Lord. When we are
about our Father’s business in ways that are pleasing to Him, He
blesses us even more. Please complete a Ministry Sign-Up Form
and let’s get to work! Trust in God!

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the
Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save
souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our
sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take
advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with
members who are eager to study with you. If you do not
share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit
today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the
chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and
the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance
to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-
by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome
you to investigate what you hear and see today. You
will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive
biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-
formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our
special guest! Please come again.

Better Men, Husbands, Fathers, and Leaders
Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?
Matt. 28:19-20 is the great
commission given to members of
the body of Christ. As Christians,
it is our responsibility to Tell,
Talk and Teach others about
Jesus. Telling someone about
Christ will often open the door to
Talk with them about Him. You
can then Teach them or invite
them to Church where they can be
taught. We encourage each Chris-
tian to take advantage of such
opportunities. If you know of a
prospect, and for some reason
cannot conduct a personal Bible
study, please give their contact
information to Bro. and/or Sis.
Oliver or to one of our Leaders.
