Up North at Northside

The Northside Church of Christ, in Rochester, New York, is a great place to preach indeed. I had a splendid time preaching for their Winter Gospel Meeting. The hospitality, kindness and acceptance was only outdone by their readiness to hear the Word. They love to be taught the Word, and I love teaching it.

Brother Walker, the Minister of this great work, was a gracious and conscientious host. I look forward to our fellowship continuing to blossom. He has an awesome task with a historical church. Their location could only be called a church campus. The church sits next to their Senior Assisted Nursing Home, which sits next to their School. They are representing Christ well. I was thrilled to hear him talk about a future greater than their great past. That’s visionary talk.

Northside has one of the most attractive buildings I’ve ever preached in.

Special thanks to Joan and Brother Rustin for name dropping. Commendations to all the cooks and cake bakers. You shouldn’t have. No really. You shouldn’t have. Thanks to Brandon for the pix.

Funny Fact - . When people in Rochester talk about us in the city, they call us New York. A brother said “Ive been in Rochester all my life but I’ve never been to New York.” Tripped me out.

Hopefully, our time together will help them to not be so afraid of a visit to the Big City.
