Hello members and friends of the Lincoln Northside and Holland Churches!
Grace and peace to you all. This is a very special time of year when we all, with grateful hearts, pause to remember and celebrate our veterans. To all who have served this country in various military branches and capacities over the years (which include many of you in our church community), thank you for your commitment and service! May God continue to richly bless you.
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 Gathering Reminder
Based on the updated Directed Health Measures announced by our local health officials for the Lincoln-Lancaster area, we are asking all those attending any indoor gatherings on the Northside campus to continue to plan on the appropriate use of a face mask. You can view the announcement from the link above for additional details. Northside is participating in this community effort as outlined in that document. Thank you for your help, and we hope to have you worship the Lord with us.

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.
