THANK YOU TO EVERYONE
who made this year’s church picnic at the North Park Lodge a great success.
A wonderful time was had by all. From the worship and music to the food and games, every detail was great.
We would especially like to thank the deacons for all of their planning, dedication and hard work. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

We are only collecting lids and pill bottles with the following recycling numbers:

RESONANCE WORKS’ ACCLAIMED RESON8 VOCAL OCTET AT NORTHMONT!
Friday, Sept. 19, 8pm
Reson8 presents the live premiere of Hero Songs, a powerful new song cycle by Peter Hilliard and Matt Boresi that explores the meaning of heroism and service—past, present, and future. Interwoven throughout the program are works by Joel Thompson, Rosephanye Powell, Damian Geter, Reena Esmail, Melissa Dunphy, and others, each selected to deepen and expand the central themes. Together, these pieces create a moving musical journey that reflects the many dimensions of heroism in today’s world.
We’re especially excited that our friend Rob Frankenberry will be featured as one of the tenors in the Reson8 octet. With singers of Rob’s caliber throughout the ensemble, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of music.

| Sunday’s reading from Jeremiah poses the question, “Is there no balm in Gilead?” Of course we answer with the Spiritual, “There Is a Balm in Gilead” — in William Dawson’s beautiful choral setting. Thanks to everyone who made the picnic service special. God meets us wherever we are. | |
AMOS RETURNS!
& INTRODUCING: AMOS KIDS!
Next Wednesday, September 24, our inter-generational program returns with one important addition for some of our younger participants.
AMOS will keep the same format from 6-7:30 (dinner, activities and games for all).
But NOW, from 5:30-6pm we will have a special AMOS KIDS time for anyone “VBS age” to come and have their own activities and stories just for them. Afterwards, those participating will stay for dinner and can still get home at an hour that works best for younger kids.
PLEASE JOIN US
AND SPREAD THE WORD!
