We look forward to worshipping together this Sunday in the main auditorium! We will be continuing our series called "The Bible: Timeless Wisdom for Modern Times". 

Jordan delivered a great lesson about how we read and understand the Bible. He focused on the difference between the "blood" issues (core teachings of Christianity), the "ink" issues (things we can disagree about and still be Christians), and "pencil" issues (matters of opinion).

Recently at Midweek, one of our elders, Kevin Broyles, made an announcement about a task force that has been meeting for several months called "Co-Workers in Christ: How men and women work together to serve the Church." Its purpose is to explore and clarify our biblical understanding of how God calls and empowers women to use their gifts to build up the North River family. Its goal is to offer to the leadership team thoughtful, prayerful, and scripture-based RECOMMENDATIONS for how this understanding can be practically lived out in our congregation. Click to see the full announcement about the Task Force, as well as a Resource List on the topic.
