St. John’s Lutheran Church in Summit, 587 Springfield Ave., invites the community to celebrate 500 years of Lutheran hymns on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 4 p.m. The service of music and commentary about church music heritage will be led by the St. John’s Choir and other visiting musicians.
“We join together to lift up our voices in harmony singing chants, chorales and global music from the past 500 years,” said church spokeswoman Jama Bowman. “The Reverend Blake Scalet offers commentary on the hymns. The St. John’s Choir and guest musicians will offer choral settings and anthems conducted by Christopher Harlow-Jennings, with special organ improvisations by Brian Harlow-Jennings.”
In addition to congregational hymns. the choir will sing a movement from Bach’s Cantata No. 4 Christ Lag in Todesbanden and Albert Becker’s Komm, Heiliger Geist.
All are welcome. A free will offering will be received, and a light reception follows.
St. John’s Lutheran Church is a welcoming congregation that has made a public declaration of its inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people and a commitment to becoming an antiracist church. There is ample parking behind the building, which is ADA-accessible.
To watch livestream services, visit youtube.com/ StJohnsSummitNJ.
On Saturday, Oct. 26, at 3 p.m., St. John’s will host Halloween Hoopla with the New Jersey Youth Chorus, a childfriendly Halloween concert followed by a Trunk-or-Treat in the parking lot. All are encouraged to wear costumes.
The Overlook Auxiliary is hosting its third annual “Art for Overlook” Auction & Cocktail Reception at the Green Village Firehouse on Friday, Oct. 18, from 7:30 to 11 p.m. The event is open to all and provides an opportunity to bring together local artists, community members and healthcare workers to support child and adolescent behavioral health programs at Overlook Medical Center. Tickets are on sale now by visiting oaux.org/events/art-for-overlook.
This year’s event will feature the works of 11 local artists: Jean Best, Lisa Cerny, Kate DeOssie, Cynthia Pareja Dubin, Valerie Flax, Elizabeth Gillin, Cabbar Komek, Jesús Núñez, Don Piloso, Ricardo Roig and Judy Weinstein. The event will also include appetizers, cocktails, live entertainment and an array of additional auction items such as photo packages, dinner parties and show tickets, all donated by the community.
This year’s Art for Overlook will put a spotlight on a cause faced by many parents -- adolescent technology addiction. Dr. James Sherer, an addiction psychiatrist, will be the featured guest speaker at the event, and will address youth technology addiction and the development of Overlook Medical Center's first-ofits-kind outpatient program that will aim to tackle it.
The Overlook Auxiliary is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports Overlook Medical Center with volunteering and fundraising efforts. Founded in 1916, the Overlook Auxiliary has more than 300 active members and has contributed more than $21 million to the Medical Center community since its inception.
