Tiffany Allen Graduates from Emerson College
Tiffany Allen, daughter of Northwood residents Ross and
Sib Allen, graduated cum laude from Emerson College on May 18, 2009,
earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Stage & Production
Management.
Joining Coe Brown Northwood Academy’s theater program as a high
school freshman in 2001, Tiffany decided very quickly that she
wanted to pursue a career in stage management. Her involvement
in the Coe Brown theater program included acting, lighting and
sound, scene design and production, directing, and stage management.
She also served as the Student Liaison on the Northwood Theater
Workshop Board of Directors. In her four years of preparation
for college, she set a new record of 108 Thespian Points at CBNA
(representing 1080 hours of theater involvement in four years).
While studying at Emerson, she expanded her resume with several
professional Stage Management and Assistant SM jobs in diverse
theaters such as the Playwrights Platform, the Lyric, and in the
Boston Center for the Arts. She also took advantage of
opportunities for international studies, spending a semester at Shih
Hsin University in Taipei, Taiwan, and another semester at Kasteel
Well (a castle in the town of Well) in the Netherlands. While
serving as one of two Resident Assistants at the Castle, she had
several opportunities for extensive travel throughout Europe,
visiting London, Prague in the Czech Republic, the Grecian Isles,
Rome and Spain.
Currently, she is working as the Stage & Production Manager for a
short term theater festival at the Playwrights Platform in Boston.
She is also maintaining her job at Francesca’s Café on Tremont
Street.
Tiffany’s desire has been to return to Taiwan this fall to work for
a year. She discovered on her first trip to Taipei that she
loved the country, the people, and studying Mandarin, which she has
continued with roommates and friends. Her extensive travel
experience and enthusiasm for Taiwan has been appreciated during her
interviews, and she has accepted a position with a large school
system in Taipei where she will begin teaching English as a second
language in September.
We
are all very thankful for all the Lord has allowed her to experience
and accomplish during the last eight years, and are looking forward
to what He has in store for her future.

this paper please call me at 942-5187. This paper is strictly
confidential, and no judgment will be made at all with what you say,
( I was in the same spot at one time and have done years of nursing
so I know the stress it already causes).

Pastor’s Corner: Love
By Pastor Ted White Do you love God? What does it look
like for a person to love God? How can we know that we ourselves
love God? A person might say they love God, but do they really?
How do we know? God tells us the answer! Here is what God
has to say to us, “This is how we know that we love the children
of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is
love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not
burdensome…” (I John 5:2-3). These two verses are loaded with
truth for us to see and understand. First, I show that I
love others in the family of God by “loving God and carrying out
his commands.” So, if I say that I love others who have a
relationship with God through Jesus Christ, but do not obey His
Word, then I do not really love them! Obedience to God’s Word is
evidence that I truly love those who know Him! Those who reject
God’s Word, the Bible, cannot truly love others who believe in
God through Jesus Christ. They cannot be obedient to something
they reject and to reject God’s Word is to be disobedient to
Him. So, people who “say” they love believers cannot possibly do
so if they are disobedient to the Word of God. Second, a
person loves God by being obedient to His Word. Many people may
say they love God, that they know God, but can this be true if
they are not willing to obey Him? Again, how can I love God when
I am not willing to listen to His Word? To obey Him is not a
burden. If a person thinks that obedience to God’s Word is a
burden, then they really need to consider if they have a
relationship with God Through His Son, Jesus. When Jesus
was asked what was the greatest commandment He said, “Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your
mind” (Matthew 22:37) and then He said the 2nd greatest was “To
love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). Then He said
all the Law and prophets hung on these two commands (Matthew
22:40). Plain and simply, if I do not obey Him, I do not
love Him or others who know Him. None of us is perfect, but that
cannot excuse us from an unwillingness to do what He says. Jesus
said, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do what I
say”(Luke 6:46)? Obedience proves our love for God and for
others who love Him. To come into a loving relationship
with God and His people, go to

The
first strawberries of the season arrived with the Hague Farm cart at
the Northwood Farmers Market. Yes, we are at the municipal parking
lot at the traffic light in Northwood EVERY Thursday this summer,
and into the fall. Stop by and sample the local produce as it
ripens, let one of our bakers do the pie baking, get some honey from
the local bees, savor the lovely lotions and potions, and meet your
neighbors and friends.
You can see some pictures from the market
