The Committee has been working on this for a while and we hope you will join us for this very special day. The time capsule will be on display as well as what we think should go in the capsule we will install for the next 100 years! If you have any suggestions or items to be put in the capsule please let the Committee know. This has been an exciting project and we hope you will like what we have done. Sunday, the 17th will be a special day so come and join us!

CONFIRMATION

On May 24 at the 10am worship service, we’re excited to receive confirmands Keller Richardson and Nicholas Fleissner as new members of Northmont! We hope you can join us to witness this major step in their spiritual journey.

WE’RE STILL COLLECTING CAPS and

PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLES!

The Deacons and the Women’s Bible Study are continuing their drive to collect 200 to 250 lbs. of lids and prescription pill bottles to be recycled into a park bench for the church playground area. They are working in conjunction with the ABC Partnership Project of Green Tree Plastics LLC to encourage the recycling of specific plastics that are typically not accepted in our residential recycling programs.


The criteria for lids and bottles and receptacles for depositing your donations are posted in the church near the entrance doors. Please clean the donations well and make sure that they contain no metal or cardboard. Giant Eagle prescription pill bottles or over the counter pill bottles are NOT accepted.


We’re very encouraged by the participation up to this point; we’ve collected 140 pounds! of recycles since we kicked the project off last September. We appreciate all who continue to save those caps and bottles and bring them in.



Watch your PIPER and the bulletin for updates and pictures of caps that you might not realize are acceptable.

Here are a few examples of some you might not be aware of (yes, they're acceptable!):

THE DINING OUT GROUP will be going to BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse in McCandless Crossing on Monday, June 1 at 6:30. Please contact Sarah Jane Beorn at 412-952-0662 to be included in the reservation. All are welcome!
