Parent Orientation Night at Prospect Mountain High School will be held Thursday, August 20, 2009, 6:30-8:00 p.m.


Parents of incoming freshmen and new students, come tour the building, meet some of our faculty and ask questions.


Light refreshments will be served.


Welcome to the PMHS Community.



 

What a rich time for our local children! The young “buckaroos” enjoyed some of the finest education that you could find anywhere - teaching bible history, morals and values, joyful singing of God’s love for them, physical activities and memory games and more. What a wonderful week-long summer experience, in a beautiful and fun-decorated church environment. For some of us, picnicking and swimming afterward. Children learned to be “after God’s own heart.” We are very thankful for the ministry of all the folks at the church who contributed to create such a rich, blessed and fun experience for all of the children attending.

 


 

Barnstead-Alton Republican Committee


The Barnstead-Alton Republican Committee (BARC) will hold their next monthly meeting on Thursday, August 13 at J.J. Goodwin’s Restaurant (upstairs), 769 Suncook Valley Rd (Rt 28), Center Barnstead - (603) 269-8300.  Dinner (at your option) is at 5:30 pm; the meeting will begin at 6:30 pm.


This month’s discussion will focus on the New Hampshire GOP. Looking back at the last couple of elections, and looking forward to November 2010, there are a lot of opinions about what’s best for our country, our state, and the GOP.  Leading the discussion will be our special guests, BJ Perry and Chris Sununu.  As the Field Manager of the NH GOP, BJ’s role involves meeting with local town GOP Committees all over New Hampshire to assist Governor Sununu in his efforts to unify the Party.  Chris, son of the NH GOP Chairman, is a Consultant with JHS Consultants and is a full time executive volunteer with the NH GOP.


BARC, formed in the Fall of 2008, has helped to promote Republican principles and values by engaging the local community.  It offers an opportunity for the townspeople of Alton, Barnstead, and surrounding towns to discuss issues and concerns such as the economy, pending legislation, etc., and to hear from your elected officials.  This month, an invitation has been extended to all NH Republican Legislators and their constituents to join us at this meeting.

This is the first time Rocking Horse Studio, a premier recording studio located in Pittsfield, New Hampshire, is presenting a concert. “We’re pleased to offer our artists an opportunity to perform at such a wonderful venue so close to the studio,” states Brian Coombes, president of Rocking Horse. “We’re hoping this is the first of many shows we present at the Barnstead Music Hall.”


The three artists who are performing at the August 15th show are all established regional artists and all have all recorded at Rocking Horse Studio. Singer/songwriter Christian Cuff from Maine, will open the show with a set of his acoustic-based material, which features Cuff on guitar and vocals, backed by a cellist and bassist. Cuff and his band have toured throughout the world regularly over the past three years, most recently completing a European tour in April. Cuff’s debut disc, Silo, was released in March 2008.


Following Christian Cuff, Veteran musician Joe Mazzari will bring his high energy performance to the Barnstead stage. Mazzari has performed with legendary New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders and has fronted popular Boston bands Two Saints and the Daughters. He and his band have performed throughout Europe and along the eastern United States. Mazzari’s new solo album will be released later in 2009.


Concord’s favorite singer/guitarist, Brooks Young, closes the night with a set of his blues-based pop. Young is a Fender-endorsed artist who has shared the stage with such legends as B.B. King, Room Full of Blues, and Luther “Guitar” Johnson. His most recent album, Back on the Ground, has received radio airplay on stations throughout the country. Young and his band tour regularly throughout the region.

Tom And Sue Dennison To Speak At The Center Barnstead Christian Church


Tom and Sue Dennison will be speaking at the Center Barnstead Christian Church this Sunday, August 16th at the 9:00 AM Morning Service. The Dennisons have joined with SEND International believing they have been called and led by God to return to the Philippines to reach the youth of Manila and to help mentor young men in their church planting ministries all over the Philippines and Asia.


Tom trusted Christ as his personal Savior when he was 18 years old. A year later Tom dedicated his life to Christ and was soon studying at the Word of Life Bible Institute. While there, he gained a burden to be in full time ministry. Needing further studies, he enrolled at Baptist Bible College of PA. Before Tom graduated from BBC, God had sharpened his ministry focus to be on missions. Sue, also, came to Christ as a teenager; in fact, it was through the same local church that brought Tom to Christ. After attending Word of Life, Sue also went on to BBC to study Bible and Elementary Education.


While at BBC, Tom and Sue were married and began to seek God’s will together. The Lord led them to serve in the Philippines in youth ministry for 20 years. They enjoyed a fruitful ministry there in a Bible Institute, and then a local church oriented youth program. In 2007 the Dennisons felt the Lord leading them into a different ministry. Believing this was in the USA, they moved back to NH. After a year of seeking what God wanted them to do they became convinced that God wanted them back in the Philippines.


Meanwhile, God was opening great doors of opportunity for SEND to reach into the public schools in the Philippines with the gospel. Tom and Sue are extremely excited to get back to Manila to join the effort in once again reaching youth for Christ. Tom and Sue spent the last ten years of their ministry evangelizing youth, connecting them to local churches for discipleship and training leaders in working with youth. The needs are great in Manila with a student population in the millions and probably 93% of them trusting in idols instead of the Savior. Another exciting avenue of ministry will be mentoring and teaching young men who are burdened for church planting. Current missionaries of SEND are planning a Church Planters Institute that will seek to train men in church planting in the Philippines, as well as, abroad in other Asian nations.


The Center Barnstead Christian Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall. For more information please contact the church at 269-8831.
