Clef Notes

Music Director, Stephen Schall

stephen@northmontchurch.org

Sunday is Pentecost. Ten days ago, on Ascension Day — forty days after Easter — the resurrected Jesus departed from his disciples. They then devoted themselves to prayer as they awaited the promised Holy Spirit. And sure enough, on the next great Jewish festival, Shavuot — celebrated fifty days after Passover (hence the Greek name Pentecost) — the Holy Spirit descended upon the gathered believers.


It is striking that the traditional readings for Shavuot emphasize the giving of the Law at Sinai — the commandments that guide Jewish life — while the Christian celebration of Pentecost marks the giving of the Holy Spirit, who guides and sustains Christian life.



Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful

and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,

and you shall renew the face of the earth.

CALLING ALL NORTHMONT LADIES!

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.

Here are a few examples of caps you might not realize ARE acceptable:

Tops of glue sticks and glue bottles.

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!
