FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER


At 10 o’clock worship:

“Having Trouble Following”

Rev. Ben Robbins

Facebook  Web  Email  YouTube
Last Sunday's Service

Pentecost (May 19 this year) is a day to celebrate the church, as it is and as it will be. 


In that spirit, a portion of worship will be dedicated to a Celebration of Service, where we get to recognize the special ministries of the church that have made Northmont the community that it is today. 


So, if you have specific individuals who have served or who are serving in specialized ways throughout the church that you would like to recognize, please submit their name and their service to Pastor Ben to be included in this segment of worship by Wednesday May 15. Thanks!

The 35th Annual Spring Gathering of Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery of Pittsburgh (PWPP) will be held at Northmont on Saturday, April 20, 2024. Our Coordinating Team is busily preparing to host. The Gathering begins with a continental breakfast. A worship service, election of new leaders, and the celebration of Global Links, PWPP’s mission project, completes the morning. A luncheon prepared by Northmont women is served immediately following. All Northmont Women are Presbyterian Women and welcome to this event. Registration forms are available at the Tower and Rolshouse entrances. Please contact Sarah Jane Beorn (412-952- 0662 cell/text) with any questions.

DONATIONS TO PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

Please make checks payable to “Presbyterian Women” or “Northmont Presbyterian Women” and write the name of the event, such as bake sale or soup sale, in the memo line. Thank you for your assistance.

Clef Notes

By: Stephen Schall, Music Director

April 18, 2024


Alleluia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed! Alleluia! Easter lasts for 50 days. Do you know the saying, “As Sunday is to the week, Easter is to the year?” Those who configured the liturgical calendar were very clever. The season of Easter extends for 50 days, ending on Pentecost, hence the name. 50 days is roughly one-seventh of the 365 day year. In other words, Easter is the “Sunday” of the liturgical year.


The gospels of the season relate Jesus’ time on earth between the resurrection and the Ascension. We bask in the joyful news of redeemed life and revel in singing alleluias.


We wish you all a joyous celebration of Easter. Alleluia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed! Alleluia!


On Sunday, May 12, we will be holding a special musical service during worship. Stay tuned for more details.

AMOS nights are our way of creating an atmosphere of fellowship and hospitality for families and all members of our church. We will be sharing a meal together and then breaking off for a time of learning. AMOS nights will take place once a month at 6pm.



Mark your calendars for the upcoming AMOS nights:
