Music Notes: Once a year the youth of Northwood are privileged to lead all aspects of the worship services and so you see and hear the amazing work these young people do throughout the year in our five separate musical en- sembles with youth. While most churches Northwood’s size, have very limited youth musical activities, we have two praise bands, two hand- bell choirs and a vocal choir singing in SATB (four parts). Mark Johns- ton and I (Tom Huffman) feel privileged to work with this talented bunch of young people. I hope you realize that there is a great deal of commitment required by these youth to produce what you hear today and throughout the year. Some are at church for three or more rehears- als every week. Many thanks to parents and families for support, assis- tance and transportation. “Praise the Lord!
