As Music in the Somerset Hills presents: 

Soundscapes for Cello & Organ

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 H�ller's Improvisation on "Sch�nster, Herr Jesu."

 In this work, H�ller 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!

Admission by donation at the door.

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 Monday, October 31st.

  

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.

 

Pies, Pies, Pies 

On Sunday, November 13th, immediately following the 10:00am service, the Youth Group will once again be making and selling pies for Thanksgiving.  This is our one big fundraiser for the year which allows the High School Youth Group to be self-supporting and supporting of others. We will be making Apple, Pumpkin, Pecan, and a delicious frozen Peanut Butter Pies. Please help us to take orders during coffee hour on Sundays, November 6th and 13th. For more information, please contact Diane Morash at dkmorash@nac.net. Community Service hours will be given.

 

November Ladies' Luncheon

The Ladies' Luncheon will be held on Thursday, November 17th at 12 noon at the home of Wendy Argent-Belcher in her new dining room, 55 Seney Drive, Bernardsville. Please bring a sandwich.  Beverages and dessert will be provided. Mark your calendar!  Please RSVP to Wendy at 908-766-1011.
