Northside Presbyterian Church

Weekly eUpdate

October 22, 2025

Coming Sunday

This Sunday is Reformation Sunday and the service will celebrate it with hymns and readings. The choir will sing “Transforming God, Renewing Christ” to enhance the worship service.


There will not be Sunday School to provide time to set up for the Fall Fest dinner.


​Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner


Fall Fest will be on Sunday, October 26, after worship. Fried chicken will be provided as the main dish. You are asked to bring a side dish and dessert. Even if you can't provide a dish, come anyway for the food and fellowship. If you are able to help before the meal or with clean-up, contact Barbara Wierwillie (b.barbara66@yahoo.com) to volunteer.

Vote for Northside

Don't forget to vote for Northside's Monday Night Supper mission in the 2nd Annual Blacksburg Give A Chance Charitable Donation Giveaway sponsored by the Solomon Organization. You can vote once at day at http://bit.ly/4nPRPFh until Oct. 31. 

Congratulations
