Holy Week at Northmont

HOLY WEEK begins next Sunday with the celebration of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. We enter this holiest of times with a congregational palm procession, which will begin on the front lawn. The liturgy then moves into the Passion story as told by Matthew. Maundy Thursday, 319 services are being held at 7 o’clock at both Hiland and Wexford Community Presbyterian Churches. Good Friday’s 319 service, 7 o'clock at Northmont, is sure to be one of deep meaning and beauty. This liturgy includes the Solemn Intercessions and the Solemn Reproaches of the Cross in addition to the singing of the Saint John Passion by Heinrich Schütz with Rob Frankberry as the Evangelist and the Chancel Choir. Those of you who were with us last year for our performances of this piece know how dramatic and moving it is. Easter Sunday will include Holy Communion and special music for brass and choir. Our Lenten journey has been preparing us to enter into this great mystery of our faith. Please plan to worship with us as we complete the journey to the cross and empty tomb.

In celebration of the resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday, The Deacons invite you to play a role in the beautification of the sanctuary with spring flowers. Order forms will be available on Sunday or at the link below. All orders much be received by Wednesday March 29th with payment in full. Checks should be made out to Northmont U.P. and marked "Easter Flowers"

Our Candyland themed VBS will be taking place the week of June 12th-16th from 9am-12pm. If you would like to volunteer please contact Bre Lewis

Plea for help: Adult Handbells practice on Thursdays from 4:30-5:30. We are desperately in need of more ringers if we are to continue ringing. If you would like to join us, please contact me at stephen@northmontchurch.org. We usually ring once a month. A strong commitment and an ability to read music are needed. We will teach you how to ring if you haven’t. Handbells have been a vital part of Northmont’s music ministry over the years. It would be a shame to see this legacy end. Please consider joining us if you can. 

If you are interested in knowing more about singing in the choir, please contact me at stephen@northmontchurch.org. Chancel Choir practices 6:30 - 8:30 most Thursdays and sings for worship throughout the school year. Requirements are a pleasing voice, the ability to read music, and a good sense of humor.
