Anniversary

Each year of a couple's life they come to the bringing point called their anniversary. Rosemary and I will celebrate our 34th this March. We always do something special to remember all these years of being together .

Our church is doing the same thing this Sunday. We will celebrate 50 years of service. Back in '59 some 250 people felt that God wanted a church our community. Over the years the church has begun 2 other churches and seen many men and women called into the ministry.

The vision back in the beginning of Northgate is still the vision today. "Taking Christ Into Our Community" The times, fashions, methods, and people have changed over the years, but one thing has never changed. God still wants to use people at Northgate to reach out to the hurting and lost souls within our community with the message of hope.

Are we still standing the test that was started 50 years ago? I encourage everyone to get involved in not just doing things at the church house, but being involved in the community. Reach out and touch someone today with your God given talents, abilities, gifts and compassion.
