This Sunday . . .
Dominion
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and we praise God. Sometimes our praise to God ignores the God-given responsibility for God's good heavens and earth. This Sunday, we will look at the English translation of 'dominion' and 'subdue' and consider instead the translation of stewardship for and caring of God's good earth, sky, and seas.

From the Interim Pastor
Vacation Bible School is here and we could use some help
Respecting the family and friends coming to honor Martha Finley on Saturday, we did not decorate for VBS. Everything is ready to hang up, tape to, pin to, or place on. Would you be willing to help decorate for VBS after worship this Sunday? With a lot of help, we can be done in less than an hour.
Friday's VBS show: You are invited to He is the Vine and We are the Branches.
Come celebrate the kids of VBS at 11:00 on Friday in Fellowship Hall. Sing with us, dance with us, smile with us, and share in a snack. Come and see that the Lord is good in our midst!
New this summer: pictures will be added to our church directory. Thanks to the talents of photographers Rhonda Horton and Bill Goff the church office will be adding individual or family pictures to our church data base. This will allow the office to prepare an updated church directory with pictures. Bill and Rhonda will be on hand on various Sunday's to take candid or posed pictures of you which will then be uploaded to our church data system. The pictures will be casual but enjoyable, most of them will be taken during fellowship. Bill and Rhonda may tap your shoulder on a Sunday and ask you to smile for a picture. Alternately, you may email a family picture to Linda in the office that can be included in the church data base. We just ask that the picture be fairly recent. Let's either avoid pictures prior to 1968 or dedicate a separate page to those Kodak moments.
Our goal is to have as many photos as possible by the end of summer, so we can have a new directory sometime in the fall. If you would like to purchase an informal, church-printed directory with photos, there will be a nominal charge. If you would like to view your photos, they will be included on a photo page on the church Web site.
Thank you for bringing your Spirit-inspired smiles to Northmont!
Praying the Psalms
Thursdays in the Berean room at 10:00am. We will be reading Psalm 5 this week.

Doc's Clef Notes
Summer has arrived and I would like to invite folks to participate in two new musical opportunities here at Northmont Church. The first being a Family Summer Choir: On Sundays July 23, and August 13 you are invited to participate in a family choir open to anyone from 7th grade upward. We will meet in the choir loft at 9:15am on those Sunday mornings and learn an anthem that we will sing during the worship service at 10:00 AM. The music will be easy enough to learn and sing that day.
If you have ever thought about playing in the Bell choir and would like to give it a try, here's your opportunity. Summer Bells will be offered for two weeks in August on Thursday evenings, August 10 & 17 beginning at 7:00pm. If you can count to 4, know your right hand from your left hand, and have a desire to learn, you are a candidate. For more information, contact David@northmontchurch.org or call me at 412-606-3322
.
See you in church,
David (Doc)
