ALL ARE WELCOME AT ST. MICHAEL’SA group of children were brought by their parents to meet Jesus. As the children approached Him they were turned away by His disciples. Seeing this, Jesus responded, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as them.” We know that children fi dget. We know that children can’t always fi nd the “mute” button. They would not be children other-wise! We love all of our families at St. Michael’s, and that certainly includes our families with small children. And so, we welcome you to St. Michael’s, where children – and all of the things that makes them children – are always welcome. St. Michael the Archangel, 175 Williams Road, Troy, New York 12180 | (518) 283-6110 | Mass: Mon. - Thur. 12:10 p.m.; Sat. 4:30 p.m.; Sun. 7:30 & 10:00 a.m. | www.StMichael-Troy.com

THE JOYFUL NOISE, “WE ARE ONE”The Joyful Noise was a contemporary Christian mu-sic ministry well known in the Capital District region and beyond, during the years of 1969-1993. The Joyful Noise was a large group of young people, led spiritually and musically by Mr. Bill Womer. The Joyful Noise was the core of what would later evolve into “Christian Mu-sic Ministries”. The positive side of social media, as well as the unfortunate passing of key members, has stirred interest in a reunion of The Joyful Noise, with the recog-nition, that still, “We are One”. A reunion is planned for

October 10, 2015 focused on reuniting and catching up. The reunion will culminate with a barbeque dinner and an evening Praise and Worship service at Bethlehem Luther-an Church. Many of the songs spanning three decades when young lives were forever impacted by this experi-ence will be sung together again. We will also be including all the parents and family members in the Saturday night service who supported each of us during our “JN” years.

During these early planning stages, we are interested in help locating former members, and identifying folks to assist on various committees that have been formed. Please visit the Facebook page for Christian Music Min-istries if you are a former member and want to con-nect, or contact us at joyfulnoisereunion@gmail.com.

SAND LAKE AMBULANCE 2015 FUND DRIVEThe Annual Fund Drive mailers for Sand Lake Ambulance began arriving in resident’s mailboxes over the past few days in conjunction with National EMS Week. The volun-teers from Sand Lake Ambulance thank all our residents and business owners for their past support of this life sav-ing service and they hope that again you will hear their call for support. All the money raised by the fund drive is used for day to day operation of the ambulance company. Our operation is partially supported by a contract with the Town of Sand Lake, partially from revenue obtained by billing insurance companies and from revenue raised by this fund drive. Our volunteers contributed over 19,000 hours of their time toward keeping this service function-ing. It is very costly to provide full Paramedic service to the town 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. However, this is what you deserve and what SLA (a pri-vate not for profi t organization, (501c(3)) is committed to providing. Your generous response to this fund drive will help assure the continuation of advance life support services, the highest level of pre-hospital care available in New York State. If you have not had an opportunity to donate, or did not receive a mailer, please call 674-2221 ext 5 or you may mail your donation to Sand Lake Am-bulance, PO Box 222, West Sand Lake, NY 12196. Again, thank you for your thoughtful consideration and assistance so that we may continue to be there in your time of need.
