MUSIC NOTES
 Lisa Cardwell | music director 

Chancel choir will be singing a new anthem on Sept. 15, “I Know Your Heart of Grace,” which was purchased in memory of Rick Jensen. Due to some changes in Lisa’s work schedule in Pensacola this fall, the chancel choir rehearsals will remain on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. until further notice. We will be singing some previous and current favorites.

The handbell choir will be playing in worship on Sept 22. They will play “Wonderful, Merciful Savior” and “Filled with the Spirit” (which incorporates “Spirit of the Living God” and “Holy Spirit”).

Our Christmas program is Dec. 15. As in the past two years, we ask for vocal and instrumental soloists, small and large ensembles, and readers to join in the spirit of the season.

If you are interested, please notify Lisa.

WORSHIP REPORT
 Greg McNair | worship elder 

The pace of activities is picking up at Swift Church as summer winds down and seasonal breaks come to an end.

On Sept. 1, we will celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper at both services. All are welcome at the table to partake of the bread and juice by intinction. Pastor Jody Beth and Jane Capsis will lead worship and music at Live Oak at 1 p.m.

In worship Sept. 8, we will celebrate Sunday school teachers. This is the day when Sunday school classes for children and youth, children’s church and fellowship time will return after a summer break. And there’s a new Sunday school class for younger adults.

The choirs have resumed busier schedules. A 12-week Bible study will begin Thursday, Sept. 19, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

Aug. 11 was a special day at Swift Presbyterian Church — backpack blessing and teacher dedication. This was three days before the start of the school year in Baldwin County. The worship committee made tags with a Bible verse to attach to book bags for our students and teachers that contained the message “Learn to do good” from Isaiah 1:17. We also had a wonderful lunch with fried chicken provided by the church and sides and desserts from congregation members.

Looking back at Pastor Keith’s three-month sabbatical, worship attendance was good and our guest preachers were warmly received by the congregation at both services. The youth from Swift and First Presbyterian Church of Foley did a fine job on Montreat Youth Sunday. Pastor Keith received a hearty welcome back to the pulpit.

We hope your summer has been a happy and memorable one.
