Prayer Support
Prayer has always been a big part of who Northside is,
b ecause prayer is of vital importance to every Christian. Prayer is the way we connect with God, but we must
do more than just connect. We must praise, petition, and intercede in the midst of our prayer.
At this time in our history, the world needs God and prayer more than ever before.
Let us not grow weary of going to the Lord with our praise and requests.
Northside makes a commitment to Prayer.
"We will become a
center for prayer that brings power to
the Body of Christ. We will bring
together denominations and races and
regions around the power of God found in
prayer. Our efforts will begin with the
city of Jackson, TN."
This is
part of the long range plans for
Northside UMC. A group of members of our
congregation met for several weeks and
explored through prayer, discussion and
input from the congregation, the
direction God is calling our church to
go in the near future. Here is some of
what they discerned.
Caregivers Support Group
If you are caring for a parent or spouse
and you could use some support and coping skills, join us on the 2nd Sunday of each month. We meet in room 207 at 3:00 pm. Come share ideas, gain support form others in your position, and receive a blessing.
WE have guest professionals to talk with
the group to help answer questions and
give support. Become a part of this group as we journey together through this trying time.
Stephen
Ministry
The Eyes
and Ears of Jesus
We are the eyes
and ears of Jesus on earth today.
It is our duty and privilege as
Christians to serve Christ through
watching and listening to people around
us, recognizing when they have needs for
care. If you find someone with a
need, listen and care. If you
realize the need is something greater
than you can provide, tell the person
about our Stephen Ministry and put him
or her in touch with one of our pastors.
Jesus trusts us to serve as his eyes and
ears on earth and to minister to those
who are grieving, lonely, or in pain. Call Daphne Moses
(668-0617) for more information about
our Stephen Ministry.
Heart
to Heart
If ever there was a day in which the
voices of godly women need to be
heard, it surely is today.
Changes in the role of women
in the past generation have
revolutionized our world.
Pressures of two-income
household budgets, single parenting,
media attacks on the family,
societal pressures, and emotional
strain have made the role of women
more confusing than ever.
A godly older woman can help
point a younger woman to The Only
One who will never disappoint her
and who is completely trustworthy in
any and all of life’s situations.
She will instruct her from
the Bible and
from her own personal life
experience about the journey of
coming to know Jesus Christ better.

Mentoring
This ministry is born out of a
desire to serve the community
surrounding our church. We
believe God has called us to become
aware of the needs that exist in the
community. Our prayer is that
our students will not simply get
help with their homework but that
God will develop and nurture their
faith so that they experience life
to the full in Jesus.
Northside’s
Mentoring Program is designed to
minister PreK to 5th grade students.
We aim to produce positive academic
change, equip students with life
skills, and create an environment of
spiritual growth. This ministry is a
dream come true.
