Sept. 22-24 Women's Retreat in Des Moines:  There is a sign-up sheet  in the Narthex at church or you could respond to the church office if you are planning to attend.  The cost is dependent upon how many people with whom you want to share a hotel room.  Rooms can accommodate up to 4 adults.  We need to organize who is going and who are staying together in rooms BEFORE you register, so we ask that you sign up to go by August 15th.  Let us know how many people you would like to share a room with and if there are any specific people you want to share a room with let us know that as well.  After August 15th we will email all that are going with information about their roommates.  Then each person needs to do their own, online registration and you will need to include the names of your roommates when you register.  Registration needs to be done by August 29th. The registration website is:     tinyurl.com/nmyjchv4

October 6: NORTHWESTERN TO HOST REND COLLECTIVE CONCERT OCT. 6 ORANGE CITY, Iowa—Rend Collective, a popular worship band hailing from Northern Ireland, will bring its “Campfire: The 10th Anniversary Tour” to Northwestern College on Friday, Oct. 6, as part of Raider Nation Celebration, the college’s Homecoming and Family Weekend. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Christ Chapel. General admission tickets are $26 and can be purchased at echoconcerts.com. A block of $20 tickets will be available for Northwestern students and employees in the Ramaker Center student life office. Concert-goers can purchase early-entry tickets for $40. A $75 deluxe ticket includes first entry into the chapel and a post-concert photo with the band. Ticket prices will increase the day of the show. Since the band formed in 2002 out of the “Rend” young adults ministry at a church in Bangor, Northern Ireland, Rend Collective has released multiple albums featuring an upbeat folk style of worship music. The group is known for such hits as “Build Your Kingdom Here,” “My Lighthouse,” “You Will Never Run,” “I Choose to Worship,” “Your Name is Power” and “Rescuer (Good News).” Its current single, “Hallelujah Anyway,” is part of the “Whosoever” album the band released in 2022. Rend Collective had its “Good News” album nominated for the 2018 GMA Dove Award for Worship Album of the Year. “Counting Every Blessing” was a Dove Award Song of the Year nominee in 2019. This fall’s tour seeks to commemorate the live album Rend Collective recorded around a campfire on a chilly Northern Irish beach with a few friends in 2013. They describe the concert as “all the cozy campfire feelings and folksy nostalgia of that era, plus the new classics we’ve written since then … but presented in a totally new way.”
