Kickoff of 2024 Stewardship Campaign

This Sunday, October 8, represents the beginning of our Stewardship campaign for 2024. During the next few days, you should be receiving a letter about the campaign, along with your commitment card. Please begin to consider the financial pledge you will make to Northmont for 2024, as we start our annual fundraising effort. You will be hearing much more about this in coming weeks, culminating in Consecration Sunday on October 29, 2023.

Hymn of the Month: October

This month we get a “twofer”: OCTOBER’s HYMN OF THE MONTH is more accurately described as the hymn tune of the month, because we’ll be singing it to two different hymns. Remember that the “hymn” is the words, not the tune. The tune we’ll be exploring is VINEYARD HAVEN. It is set to two wonderful texts in our hymnal, 146, “Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart” and 206, “O Hear Our Cry, O Lord.”

SUNDAY OCTOBER 22

Fellowship Hall

(Right after Sunday Service)

From time to time over the past few years, we have held Town Hall meetings to discuss important topics that pertain to the mission and ministry of Northmont. As we enter into another season of stewardship and discernment, we invite you to do so again.

Please join us as we ask you for your thoughts and feedback on potential areas of focus as we move forward as a congregation. 

What should the staff, session, and leadership of the church be focused on as we strive to have the greatest impact on the community?

What areas of spiritual and congregational growth are the most meaningful to you?

Please help us in this important opportunity for discernment. 

If you have any questions, please direct them to Pastor Ben

October is upon us, and with it come cooler weather, fall colors, and also the annual Peacemaking Offering. This collection, also known as the Peace and Global Witness Offering, is one of three PCUSA General Assembly Special Offerings that we collect at Northmont throughout the year. The other two are the Eastertime One Great Hour of Sharing Offering and the Christmas Joy Offering. The Peacemaking Offering is typically collected on World Communion Sunday, which is the first Sunday in October, but contributions can be made throughout October. Generally, 25 percent of the offering is retained by each congregation for their own peacemaking use, 25 percent is used by synods and presbyteries, and 50 percent is used by the General Assembly ministries. Gifts to the Offering enable the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world, and can be made using the designated pledge envelope or marking Peacemaking Offering on a pew envelope. Thank you for your consideration for this offering. – Your Mission Committee

September 17 th until October 8 th

The mission committee has run a Food drive for Northside Common Ministries 2 times a year for at least 10 years. The need for food and other pantry items has only gotten greater over the years. The mission team will be running a special drive now till the 8 th of October. 

The NCM pantry has asked that we collect Chicken noodle soup, Tooth Paste and Baking soda. These are items the clients need and will allow them to have money to purchase food they need!

Food items can be placed in the library across from the office.

Cash is also a good donation, so the pantry may purchase needed item at a reduced cost from the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. This can be done by making out a check to Northmont UP Church with NCM food drive written in the memo line or you could use the pew envelope for cash be sure to indicate that it is for NCM food drive and placing that in the offering plate on any Sunday during the drive. Thank you for helping those in need.
