Dear Northside family, 

It’s hard to believe I am writing Septembers newsletter; the summer is about over and fall is in the air. I for one am ready for some cooler weather. Thanks for allowing us to take a vacation and spend some time with family. We had a great time at Edisto beach (all but the fishhook in the finger). I was thinking while I was there, that I have been to Edisto Beach every summer since I was a little boy (I guess its family tradition). I love taking a vacation, but man did my bed sleep good when I got back home. 

School is in full swing, so be in prayer for all of our students and staff. Pray for God’s protection on our schools. Pray for our Good News Club that starts back September 10. And, if you would like to help out we would love to have you. Just see Cindy or myself or call the church office. Listen, there is nothing better than seeing a young student pray to receive Christ as their personal Savior. 

I am honored that God would send me back to Pickens to pastor such a great and loving church, we love you All and can’t wait to see God continue to work in all our lives. We at Northside are a family of believers that loves and welcomes everyone, shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and serves through worship, teaching, preaching the Word of God, and everyday acts of kindness and service. 

Love you ALL.
