Youre Invited
Ed Linberg invites you to attend the
next concert of the Mountainside Master
Chorale set for Sunday, March 13 at 3:30 P.M. at
the Claremont UCC Church, located at the
corner of 6th and Harrison, Claremont CA
The theme of this concert is Eternal
Light. It will feature two major works. One is
the well-known Requiem by Gabriel Faure, a
work filled with haunting melodies and
powerful musical phrases. The other is a
contemporary work, Eternal Light, which
provides the theme for this concert. It is by
Howard Goodall, a British composer.
Published in 2008, this work combines English
texts with phrases from the traditional Latin
Requiem text. Among the English texts used by
Goodall are: In Flanders Fields the Poppies
Blow, the well-known poem from World War
I, and the hymn text, Lead, Kindly Light
Amid the Encircling Gloom.
Tickets are $17 for Seniors and
Students. Adult tickets cost $20. However, if
10 or more people choose to buy tickets from
Ed, the group rate of $10 goes into effect. He
needs to have your ticket orders no later than
Sunday, March 6thtwo weeks from this
Sunday.
We Get Letters . .
One of the groups that
benefitted from our Alternative Christmas
Faire last November 1 has sent us a letter. It
will be posted on the bulletin board by this
Sunday. Heres a portion
of the letter from Tom McMillan, President of
Corazon.
We are so thankful for how you have
contributed tangibly to help those in need with
your donation of $485 in 2015. Corazon Builds
Community Across Borders and you have
made it possible to open the door to selfreliance for youth, adults and communities.
Thank you for your generosity.

Week Of Compassion
Offering To Be Received
On Feb, 21 And Feb, 28
The 2016 Week of Compassion
Offering will be received on each of the next
two Sundays. On this coming Sunday,
February 21, the worship bulletin will contain a
flyer with information about this very
important special offering and an envelope for
you to use in making your gift. Going into this
Sunday we have received $98 toward our goal
of $1,770.00! Thanks to those of you who have
contributed early to get us off to a good start in
reaching, or exceeding, our goal.
We hope the statistical information
about issues addressed by the Week of
Compassion Offering, as well as the quotations
that have been included in The Caller on
both February 7 and 14 have increased your
awareness about the importance of this annual
offering which, traditionally, is our largest
special offering of the year. If you are using
the Sharing Calendar which was initially
distributed during Childrens Moment on
1/31, we hope youll continue using it through
the end of the month and bring your gift on
February 28. We remind the children that their
Offering Boxes are to be brought with them to
worship on that Sunday, too. We will include
the receiving of their boxes as part
of Childrens Moment on February 28.

The end you serve that are selfish will take you no future than yourself. But, the ends you serve that are
for all, in common, will take you into eternity. Marcus Garvey
