The Annual Congregational Meeting will be held after the service of Jan 28. Preliminary reports will be available for review on Jan 21 via email. A few printed copies will be available on Sunday for those that need a hard copy.

Opportunities to serve at the WEST VIEW HUB

The HUB recently completed the addition of a new space beside the existing center. This new space opens up plenty of opportunities for Northmont to serve the needs of our neighboring community of West View. Volunteers are needed for the existing programs, such as the twice weekly food pantry, and about eight other programs serving youth up through the elderly. The programs are listed on their excellent website. On Facebook just look up: West View Hub.

The new space is an open room for creative efforts in the arts and indoor recreation for all ages. It also features a sound room which we are invited to use for recording music.

The months of January and February are an excellent time for volunteering your talents to start a new program in an area that you are willing want to explore. If you let them know what you want to do, they will promote it, provide the space, time, and volunteers.

A New Thing I’m Up To:

From January to March, I will be taking an online course with the goal of receiving an Executive Certificate in Religious Fundraising. This program, offered through an organization called the Lake Institute, will hopefully give me some tools and resources to better equip myself and the church to do some outreach-focused fundraising. 

Stay tuned for developments!

Next AMOS will be Jan 24 at 6 pm.

Mark your calendars for the following events.

Ligonier Retreat: 2/9-11

Confirmation Gathers: 1/28, 2/25, 3/24, 4/21, 5/19

Epiphany Service

The service of Lessons and Carols for Epiphany was outstanding! The readers, ringers, and singers did a marvelous job of conveying the Christmas story and exploring Christ as the light of the world. If you want to hear it, check out the video on YouTube.

Hymn of the Month - January

January finds us exploring a new tune that can be sung with several terrific texts. This week I’ll introduce the tune RENDEZ A DIEU and we’ll sing it to the hymn, When John Baptized by Jordan’s River.

Clef Notes

Music Director, Stephen Schall

This week we return to Green, Ordinary Time. Lent begins in a month. In the meantime, we relax and bask in the light of Christ.
