“Closing Ceremonies”

As our year of celebration comes to an end, our worship service on January 18th will focus on commemorating the acceptance of Community Presbyterian Church of Highland (now Northmont)  as a member of Pittsburgh Presbytery in January 1926. 



Please join us as we give thanks for the ministry that has been, and is, and will be in the century to come.

Clef Notes

Music Director, Stephen Schall

This Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, a feast that continues the epiphanous events begun last week. The choir will sing the English carol text Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, set by John Gardner. In many ways, this text foreshadows the 20th-century hymn Lord of the Dance, as it portrays Christ calling his “true love” — the Church — into the dance of life. The carol beautifully bridges the seasons of Christmas and Epiphany, and Gardner’s rousing setting brings this marvelous text vividly to life. We hope you enjoy it.



Continuing that connection to Christmas, we will sing our final carol of the season, Joy to the World!, as our opening hymn. Although the hymn is most often associated with Christmas, it makes no specific reference to the Nativity and is therefore sometimes used in Advent or Epiphany. It has been a wonderful Christmas season here at Northmont, and it is fitting that we conclude by proclaiming with joy: Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Please join us for the annual meeting, following the service on January 25.


We will vote on the election of officers, review the budget, and discuss all other matters as they pertain to the work conducted in 2025, as well as what's to come in 2026.
