NORTHSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH
   One of the blessed events that any church gets the privilege to be a part of is the
ordination of one of its young men.  And, our church will have the privilege of experiencing
this in the ordaining Gage Peterson to the Gospel Ministry on Sunday afternoon, February
12, at 2:00.  Gage has been our Youth and Children’s Minister for the past seven years
and has truly been a blessing to these kids and to all the church.  Gage and Jennifer have
expressed to me their call from the Lord to this ministry and have committed their lives to it.  
Gage loves the Lord and His Word and we are blessed to hear him preach from time to
time. Gage has a love for Fredia and me and we are grateful to be a part of what God is
doing in his and Jennifer’s  lives.  I know you pray for them already but I challenge you to
pray for them and their children even more as together we move forward in the “work of the
ministry” here at Northside.                                           
    Already, we are looking ahead to Summer ministry.  Gage is looking ahead at summer
youth ministry and we are also making plans for Vacation Bible School.  Also, the
Nominating Committee will begin to meet soon to consider officers and teachers for the
new church year that begins June 4.  Just pray, pray, pray for the purpose and plan of God
for this church to be done as we look out onto a field that is “white unto harvest.”  
    Glad to be your pastor,
                              Bro. Clydel
50 Years of Service at Northside

Bro. Clydel Chapman and wife Fredia, were
called to Northside Baptist Church in June
1966 as full time Minister of Music,
Education, and Youth.  Bro. Clydel was
ordained as a minister in 1985.  In 2000, the
church called Bro. Clydel to be the 5th
pastor of the church, which was organized in
1950.  On Sunday. June 26, 2016, Northside
Baptist Church celebrated the 50th year of
Bro Clydel and Fredia serving at the church
by hosting a surprise celebration which
featured their three sons.  Danny Chapman
played the piano, Randy Chapman led in
worship, all three sons and Bro. Clydel sang
“Heaven Came Down” as the special music,
and Jeff Chapman preached the service.  The
church gave Bro. Clydel and Fredia a love
gift and provided a catered lunch from Big
Daddy's for the entire congregation
following the service.  It was a glorious day
praising the Lord for His faithfulness and
honoring His faithful servants.
