News and Events
55 Years This June…
55 Years Ago This June…
… God added a new thread to the tapestry of His kingdom – the Decatur Church of Christ in
suburban Atlanta. But not new, really, because its fabric stretched back to the Druid Hills church and, before that, to the Seminole Avenue church in
Atlanta. Today that tapestry continues to be woven
in the Northlake congregation.
While the Decatur/Northlake tapestry continues to evolve, we see consistent themes – threads – woven through our history. Threads of outreach to our local community.. of global mission efforts in countries like Liberia, Brazil, Honduras…of providing support for senior citizens. Threads of commitment to the spiritual growth of our babies and young people, for the spiritual maturing of seekers and believers of all ages. Threads of meaningful worship assemblies and times of service to others. Threads of friendship and openness to people of different situations and circumstances.
We celebrate 55 years of God’s working among us – faith stories of friendships,
commitments, joys, sorrows, salvation, redemption. Let’s all take the time to “step back”, recognize the patterns and themes of our life together in Christ and give Him the glory!

Kids Fund School Sponsorship
A few months ago we began making time in worship to allow kids to make a contribution before they go to their own worship activities.
Children in Honduras are often unable to attend school because their parents can’t afford uniforms and supplies, they end up dropping out of school just because their parents are poor. Can you see the vicious cycle this produces?
That’s why Predisan, the medical mission with which we are involved in Honduras, supports a school sponsorship program.
Kid’s contributions of dimes, quarters and dollars has been adding up over the past few months, last week they passed the $300 mark which means they have provided the means for one child in Honduras to go to school for a whole year! Next week they start on child #2 … anybody remember the story of the widow’s mite? – ike

Finding My Joy
“I see glimpses of joy again, and yes, joy and pain can co-exist,” 
shared a participant who lost her husband after 32 years of marriage. During 13 sessions, participants have shared their stories and their journeys of moving from mourning to joy. Northlake’s GriefShare Group closes this cycle on May 5th with a special celebration that honors the life of our loved ones.
Our participants say:
“The insights are amazing and very helpful in moving forward.”
GriefShare has helped me “to let go and let God heal my deepest feelings of loss– to cry and to be sad is ok.”
GriefShare has helped me “to understand there are many layers to grief. Hearing the stories helped me to know that I am not alone in my grief.”
“I have learned so much about grief. I have used the daily workbook in my daily devotions. This has helped me to move through my grief in a healthy way. I have also really enjoyed the leaders as they have shared openly and honestly about their own losses.”
A new GriefShare Group will begin on August 11. Barbara Porter, Sandy Williams, or Doris Clark are glad to tell you more about GriefShare and the value that this group is to anyone who has experienced loss of a loved one whether recently or even in times past.
