Music in the Somerset Hills presents: 

Soundscapes for Cello & Organ

Sunday, October 30th at 4pm.  Admission by donation at the door.  The Mountain Art Show closing reception follows the concert.  Yale-educated organist Brian Harlow joins forces with Robert Deutsch,former member of the Houston symphony, to present a program of beautiful works for cello and organ. A variety of works from J.S. Bach to the present day will frame a rare performance of Karl Höller's Improvisation on "Schönster, Herr Jesu." In this work, Höller takes the listener on a colorful tour of scenes exploring different moods and aspects of a well-loved German hymn. Enjoy a feast for your ears as well as a feast for your eyes at the annual Mountain Art Show!

 

All Saints' Day 2011 

During the Sunday services on Nov 6th we will remember in prayer the names of those who have been buried from SJOTM during the past year. This is referred to as the necrology.  In addition to reading the necrology, we would like to include in print the names of those who have gone before whose lives have especially touched or influenced you in your journey of faith.  Dedication forms are available in the Parish Office and at the door to the Parish Hall or click here. Please submit your dedications to the Parish by Thursday, October 27th.

  

Holy Baptism

We baptize primarily on those dates set aside for baptism, as listed in the Book of Common Prayer.  Since the presence of the community of faith is essential for welcoming the newly baptized into the church, baptisms take place in the principal service on the appointed Sunday.  The next date for Holy Baptism is Nov 6th, All Saints' Sunday. Questions about baptism? Please contact Mo. Susan at rector@sjotm.org.

 

Food Bank Network of Somerset County

SJOTM parishioners will staff the Food Bank Pantry each Saturday in November from 9:45am to noon at the United Reformed Church, 100 West Main Street in Somerville. All are invited, including older children, to help interview clients, bag and distribute food. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. For more information, contact Pete Ackerman jbajr@comcast.net or (908) 537-9905.


Adopt-A-Family

Parishioners have the opportunity to buy and deliver ingredients for an uncooked meal to a needy family, for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. For more information, contact Pete Ackerman jbajr@comcast.net or (908) 537-9905.
