Low Sunday



With grateful hearts, we give thanks to all who helped make our Easter worship so vibrant and full of joy. The beauty of that morning still lingers—the ringing brass, the singing congregation, the bright proclamation of resurrection life.

After a brief and well-earned rest, the choir returns this Sunday to lead us once more in song, offering The Day of Resurrection in a spirited and uplifting setting. Their voices will help carry forward the song that Easter began.



For Easter is not a single day, but a season—a great fifty days of rejoicing. The Alleluias continue to rise week by week, echoing through the Sundays that lead us toward Pentecost, when the fire of the Spirit completes the feast.

So we gather again, still in the light of the Resurrection, still in the wonder of new life, still in the joy that cannot be contained.


Alleluia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING SPECIAL OFFERING

One Great Hour Of Sharing special offering donations are welcome any time throughout the month of April.

Money distributed through One Great Hour of Sharing is split almost evenly between its 3 missions:

Presbyterian Hunger Program works to alleviate local, national, and worldwide hunger.

Self-Development of People advances partnerships with people who are oppressed by poverty or social systems.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance provides disaster response and refugee ministries.

As an example of how these Presbyterian missions can help, last year you gave a donation three times, through the stewardship of your mission committee, to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance in support of relief efforts throughout the U.S.: the California wildfire, the Texas flood, and Hurricane Melissa.

Please consider giving to One Great Hour of Sharing, using either the designated pledge envelope or a pew envelope marked for OGHS. The lives of many in great need can be significantly impacted by your contributions. Thank You!

Chancel Flowers

THE NORTHMONT DEACONS invite congregation members to purchase flowers to beautify our sanctuary on any given Sunday morning.


These can be in memory of a loved one, to honor someone special in your life, or to celebrate a birth, birthday, or anniversary. Arrangements are $30.


The sign-up sheet with specific dates is located in the hallway by the church office. Please contact Chris Sartori at 724-799-4884 or cwsartori@comcast.net if you have any questions.
