There are no requirements, other than a willingness to help lead in worship on a Sunday. Thank you!
Barn Service & Church Picnic - August 27 at North Park

Doc's Clef Notes
Our new Summer/Family Choir will debut this coming Sunday July 23. Everyone is welcome from grade 7 on up. We'll hold a brief rehearsal in the choir loft Sunday at 9:15am.
The text for the anthem is the hymn "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," set to the tune
of "Beach Spring," arranged by Gilbert Martin. Musically, it's
very easy
. If you like to
sing, come to church a little early and join this group and help us Make a Joyful Noise.
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 [email protected] or call me at 412-606-3322
.
See you in church,
David (Doc)

Where do you feel called here at Northmont? Working with the children during Wednesday Club, Youth Group, Sunday Morning classes for all ages, and Nursery Attendant are just some of the many opportunities in the Northmont Community. Please pray for the team as we move forward.
Impact Bible Study continues Sunday, July 30, at 9am in the Berean Room.
Adult Bible Study continues at 9am in the Malawi Room.
WEDNESDAY CLUB
is finished for this session. Please watch for the next session to begin in the fall!
