Hello members and friends of the Lincoln Northside and Holland Churches!
Happy new year to all of you! I'm looking forward to the ways in which God's blessings will be made evident among us this year.
As you read this week's updates, it is my hope that you will be motivated to participate in various options of worship and fellowship with our church community.

Northside Fellowship Meal Update
The Fellowship Meal for this Sabbath, January 8 has been cancelled. This decision was made because the covid dial has moved up into the red. The next one is scheduled for February 12.

Holland will be having a business meeting on the evening of January 15 in the Fellowship Hall. We will begin with vespers at 5:30pm with the business meeting to follow at 6:00pm. The church is planning on providing pizza for supper and table games after for socializing.

This Week's Offering
Our offering focus this week is Religious Liberty. The funds given to this cause this week will go to sponsor Liberty Magazine subscriptions to individuals who make decisions that impact our ability to live out our religious convictions, to share God’s love with others, and to maintain churches and schools that reflect our Christian values and teachings. It will also support the legal defense of members who experience religious discrimination in the workplace.
You may participate financially by giving to/through Lincoln Northside or Holland this week. Your tithe goes to support the work of the Lord across the conference (including your church), and your offering goes wherever you designate within the local church. As we trust in God our provider, may He continue to add rich blessings and multiply our gifts for the furthering of the gospel.

Connect Card
One of the ways we are hoping to stay in touch with you is through our online connect card. If you would like to get more involved at Northside or Holland or have a ministry suggestion for either church, there is a place on the card to indicate that, along with other ways that our community of faith can be your community too. Each filled-out card goes directly to Pastor Deneil by email, and based on your indicated preference, he will either pass it along to relevant ministry leaders or follow up with you confidentially. Either way, we will do our best to respond to you directly. Please do not journey alone.
