Busy Person Retreat
October 3, 10, 17, 2-4 pm $75 per person for the entire retreat.
*See detailed information on page 4 of the newsletter (located above).
The Busy Person’s Retreat: When you think of a retreat, you probably think of getting away from it all, perhaps at a quiet retreat center or a cabin in the woods. Most of us don’t have the luxury of time to actually go away, even for a weekend. That is why we are offering the “BUSY PERSON’S DIRECTED RETREAT”. This is a retreat that takes place within the ordinary busy-ness of your daily life. It is a simple idea: over the course of three weeks, you make a commitment to yourself and to God for a special time each day for prayer, reflection, and silence. Three times during the retreat period you will meet – for about an hour – with an assigned spiritual director to reflect on your daily practice of prayer and the ways in which you are (or perhaps are not) noticing the presence of God in your daily life. This is an excellent opportunity to get a “taste” of how spiritual direction might enrich your spiritual journey. The retreat typically follows this format: Each week, all participants and directors gather together for prayer and faith sharing followed by the individual spiritual direction sessions.
If you would like to get your name on the list to participate in this event please contact Christine Heister at christinehiester73@gmail.com or Pastor Sara at pastorsara@linworthumc.org.

Are you interested in joining our Celebration Ringers? We are in need of a bass ringer for the 2021-22 choir season. These bells are bigger and heavier, so arm strength (or a desire to build it!) is a plus. Basic music reading ability is required. No handbell experience necessary- we will teach you the technique!
Rehearsals on Thursday evenings from 6:15-7:15 beginning September 2nd.

Children's Choir for grade K-6 will be starting back up with in person rehearsal beginning on Sunday, Sept. 12th. Our fully masked rehearsals will be from 11:30-12:00. The choir will sing periodically in worship services and will also explore dramas and musicals. We will be following COVID safety protocols to ensure the safety of our young singers.
Preschool Music Time:
New this fall for preschoolers, Ms. Becky will be doing music and movement time during preschool Sunday school classes. This active time will get preschoolers on their feet, singing and dancing to age appropriate church songs. There will be some opportunities to sing in worship for interested kids.
Contact Becky Stout (beckystout7@gmail.com) with any questions about children's music at LUMC.

Calling All Ringers & Singers!
Reverberation Ringers and Chancel Choir fall Information– participants needed!
There’s no better time to get involved with the music of Linworth! Chancel Choir welcomes singers, ages high school through adult, and would especially benefit from tenor and bass voices as we come into the fall. We sing varied music throughout the year, plan special events in the Christmas and Easter seasons, and are open to those who might be seasonal singers because of travel or other commitments.
Our Reverberation Ringers choir is looking for a player to help in the bass bells section. Ringers need to have experience reading music, but we will teach you handbell technique. We have a great time building community and beautiful music each week!
- Reverberation Ringers meets from 6:15-7:15 each Thursday during the choir year and plays in the service once per month.
- The Chancel Choir meets from 7:30-9pm each Thursday after bells and sings to support the service most weeks from September through May.
Please contact Christine Hiester to sign up: christinehiester73@gmail.com
