The Oglethorpe Univeristy Singers
Guest University Choir

February 26, 2012
The Oglethorpe University Singers*
Dr. W. Irwin Ray, conductor
On this first Sunday in the Season of Lent, The Oglethorpe University Singers will provide several musical offerings which will invite us to the mood of the season: anticipation and introspection. This will include the Call to Worship, the Call to Prayer, and a Choral Benediction. In addition, one of the anthems will be a beautiful and dramatic piece from Saint Matthew Passion sung in German.
------------------------------------------------------------
*The University Singers is the primary musical organization at Oglethorpe. The ensemble provides for the study and performance of significant choral literature within the liberal arts context of the University and is open to students of all disciplines. The choir rehearses four hours each week for one hour of academic credit. Repertoire includes sacred and secular literature, both accompanied and unaccompanied, ranging from the fifteenth century to the present. Their performance of a commissioned work, Ten Songs on Poems of Sidney Lanier by Dr. Edwin Robertson, was recently aired on WABE-FM on the "Atlanta Music Scene" program. |

Organ Restoration Update
The Organ Restoration Committee is pleased to announce the selection of the A. E. Schlueter Organ Company of Lithonia, GA to perform the much needed repairs to our 1974 Schantz Pipe Organ. A family owned and operated business, A. E. Schlueter is the largest pipe organ builder and rebuilder in the eastern United States, serving the Atlanta area since 1973. They currently maintain over 160 instruments across the southeast. If you would like to learn more about the company and its work, visit www.pipe-organ.com
As of Sunday, February 5, the congregation has pledged a total of $184,027. That leaves us $15,973 short of our goal of $200,000. We thank you so much for your generosity! If you have already pledged, we ask that you please consider an additional amount. If you have not yet pledged, please call the church office and give Rose, our business manager, your pledge. You may also drop by the church with your completed pledge card or pledge online at www.northsidedrive.org. You will have until the end of 2012 to fulfill your commitment. We are hoping that the project will commence early in the summer.
If you have questions regarding this project, please contact Jeff Harbin, Hartwell Dew or any member of the committee. Thank you again for your generous support of this project to restore our beloved pipe organ. |

Missions Corner
Touching Taliaferro with Love
June 17-22, 2012
It's time to sign up for our summer mission trip! Since 2007, Northside Drive has led a week of Vacation Bible School/summer camp in Taliaferro County, one of the poorest and most neglected areas of Georgia. Supported through individual churches and the Georgia Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, TTWL provides summer camp activities for children in first through fifth grades.
If you can tell a Bible story, teach a craft, provide a recreational activity, or guide a group of lively children from one activity room to another, then there is a place for you to share your talents and love with the children in Taliaferro County. While it's great to have volunteers for the entire week, you are welcome for any number of days that fit your work schedule. For more information contact Susan Harlan, Rhonda Harris, or Barbara Atchley. |
