Start thinking about what you can do to help. We would appreciate each adult Sunday School Class picking one night to prepare and serve a meal. Also, check your calendars to see if you would be able to spend one night as an overnight host; we will need two people to stay each night, for a total of seven nights. We will also need some people to help set up after church on August 7th, and to help take down beds, and load the trailer early on August 14th so we can deliver it to the next church. We appreciate all you have done, and are going to do! Please call Julia Martin with any questions. A New Opportunity!...The Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults is in ongoing need of individual sized portions of soaps, shampoos, toiletries for their Family Violence Shelter & Sexual Assault Center. Grab those “mini” sizes from shopping or hotel visits & deposit them in the Partnership box in the lobby Donation Center.

I am well on the road to recovery, and you get a lot of the credit! Brown Academy Teachers & Staff...need Love Too! FCC’s Staff Appreciation Committee needs a Team Leader for this Fall.

From Ruth Wells...Belatedly, I want to thank all of you for your prayers, cards and calls when I was in the hospital this Spring. I‟m feeling fine now, although my voice isn‟t back to normal. “On-Call Elders”...are a new addition to our Bridge and Bulletin! Each week, a pair of Elders will be listed in the “Servants in Worship” as being “On Call.” These Elders will be available to be called in case of sickness, hospitalization, death, or other pressing need. Of course, you may always call Pastor Paul, but there may be times when he is out of town, and cannot be reached. On Thursday, June 23ed at 7:30PM...the UTC Master Chorale will perform a free concert at Second Presbyterian Church. The Master Chorale is a chorus of roughly forty members comprised of UTC graduate music students and talented singers from throughout the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas who come together once a year for a six-week rehearsal run culminating in a concert. The director is Dr. Kevin Ford, UTC Director of Choral Activities and the organist is David Friberg, organist of Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church. Graduate conducting students serving as assistant conductors this summer are Brian Harris, Timothy Sunday, Sarah Tullock and Denise Adeniyi. Church members Robert Sauser and Alan Voss sing with this chorus. The concert is free, and all are invited. The concert will begin with the triumphant “God is Gone Up” by British composer Gerald Finzi. The English Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis‟ ”O Nata Lux” will begin an early music set including pieces by Portuguese composer Estêvão de Brito, German composer J. S. Bach and Czech composer Albin Maschek. David Friberg will play the beautiful “Fiat Lux” of French composer Théodore Dubois on Second Presbyterian‟s Möller pipe organ. Another musical highlight will be the performance of “Holy Radiant Light” by Russian composer Alexander Gretchaninoff immediately followed by Alexander Kopylov‟s “Svete thiy” or “Gladsome Light.” These will be followed by Josef Rheinberger‟s beautiful “Abendleid” and Johannes Brahms‟ “Waldesnacht.” The final set of music will include works by American composers. The close harmony and ethereal sounds of Frank Tacheli‟s “Earthsong” and Eric Whitacre‟s “Lux Aurumque” will proceed a setting of “Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair” by Theron Kirk and the concluding “Rise Shine for the Light is „a-coming” by Chattanooga Composer and UTC‟s Holmberg Professor of American Music, Roland M. Carter. Soloists for the evening will be tenor Harv Wileman and sopranos Sarah Marczynski and Gretchen Potts. Belief is truth held in the mind; Faith is a fire in the heart. -Joseph Fort Newton
