 INTERFAITH SERVICE – SAVE THE DATE!
THREE FAITHS. ONE DREAM.
Sandy Springs Christian Church will participate in an interfaith service and special Sukkot on Friday, October 18th at Congregation Or Hadash (7460 Trowbridge, Sandy Spring, GA 30328) at 6:30 pm. The service will blend elements of Islamic (represented by Islamic Center of North Fulton), Jewish (represented by Congregation Or Hadash), and Christian (represented by Sandy Springs Christian Church) worship traditions in a one hour service. The hour will include call to prayer, prayer and reflection, music and messages from the Reverend Dr. Nathan Brown, Rabbi Mario Karpuj, and Islamic Brother Dr. Moiz Mumtaz.
The service will be followed by an invitation to Sukkot, the holy Jewish festival of the harvest, which will be held outside in a Sukkah (tent). This will be a (seated) time of fellowship and refreshments.
Please join us for this special evening of worship, education and shalom. There will be a sign up beginning next week.

WOMEN’S CHORUS
Women’s Chorus is Back and Scheduled to Sing on November 17.
We will sing on November 17. We’ll be singing “A Psalm” by Andy Beck. It’s a joyful, energetic song of thanksgiving- perfect for the season.
Rehearsals will start on Wednesday, October 16 at 6:30 pm and Sunday, October 20 at 8:30 am. They’ll continue for subsequent Wednesdays and Sundays at 6:30 pm and 8:30 am through November 17. On November 17, both groups will meet together at 9:55 in the choir room and enjoy that holy moment when our sound fills the room.
As always, you attend the rehearsals that work for your schedule. Pick and choose the rehearsal days and times that work for you. What is most important is that you are part of the fun of this collaborative effort to make “a joyful noise”.
The most important thing about joining this group is the desire to give it a try. You don’t have to think of yourself as a singer. You don’t have to read music. You don’t have to have any experience. You’re not committing yourself forever – just for this one song. If you like it, you may want to come back next time.
If you have questions, please e-mail Joyce Edwards at joyceedwards1@comcast.net or call her at 678-575-7613.
Our October International Dining event for Sandy Springs Christian Church members and friends will be on Sunday, October 20 at Nations Cafe, 8920 Roswell Road, Suite 400, Sandy Springs. The location is on Roswell Road where Northridge Drive intersects – on the west side of the intersection. The restaurant has been serving the area with West African cuisine for several years now. The Foursquare listing for Nations Cafe has an easier to access menu. If you have any questions, please call me. Knowing how many to expect will be very helpful for this restaurant. Knowing how many of us to expect will make it much easier for them to provide the best service.
