LYRA, the Russian a capella group from the St. Petersburg Conservatory, will be giving a concert of Russian church and folk music Wednesday, September 23, at 7 PM, in our sanctuary. The concert is free, though donations will be accepted to defray the group's travel expenses.  Ask Renita or call Bill in the church office if you need further information. We hope to see you and your friends at the concert.

The Alliance for Interfaith Ministries (AIM) is inviting the Charlottesville community to attend a benefit concert on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 3 p.m. at the Meadows Presbyterian Church (2200 Angus Road, Charlottesville).  Vocal & instrumental ensembles and choral music will be presented by members of local congregations.  Refreshments will follow. A suggested donation of $10/adult will be received to help AIM in its outreach to the community.

 AIM was founded 28 years ago as an association of concerned citizens and local congregations whose combined funds provide financial assistance to local residents who are experiencing financial crises in their lives.The CARES program (Coalition for Assisting Residents in Emergency Situations) assists with the intake and assessment process. Help can be obtained for rent, utilities, and smaller emergencies such as prescriptions, eye exams, car repairs, and work-related supplies (uniforms, tools, etc).  In 2008, AIM helped over 800 clients. AIM also administers Energy Share funds from Dominion Virginia Power to help with utility bills.

 Wesley Memorial Church has supported AIM for many years.Rev. Elizabeth Foss is on the board of directors.  Our own church choir will be participating in this benefit concert so come out and hear your church friends raise their voices in song! For more information about the concert, call the AIM office (972-1704) or email:  AIM@ntelos.net.
