For three weeks (11/13, 11/20, 12/4), 5th-8th students choose an elective learning track. Students who love singing are invited to join Angela Gritton for youth choir rehearsals and to sing in the Advent Concert on Sunday, December 8 at both services.

5th-6th students who don’t enjoy singing are invited to explore curious Old Testament Bible stories, and 7th-8th students will continue with their learning about the 10 Commandments. Whichever track students choose, they must stick with it for the three weeks.

Have questions? Contact Rich Holleque or Beth Mc-K.

Have you ever wondered how best to talk to the kids in your life about race and racism?

Join us for a special evening on Wednesday, November 1, as Dianne Haulcy helps us explore how racial bias begins to form in children and offers adults tools for talking to children about race. The same tools will support better conversations with the adults in your life, too! Dianne will preach at 6:30pm worship, and then start her talk at 7:15pm in the Worship Center.

Dianne Haulcy is creator and host of Early Risers, a podcast from Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) and Little Moments Count, with frank facts, engaging stories, and real how-tos for anyone who cares about raising children with a clear-eyed understanding of cultural differences, race, and implicit bias. Known for her leadership and vast experience in the field of early childhood development and education, Dianne Haulcy serves as President and CEO of The Family Partnership, a Minneapolis-based non-profit responding to the needs of families by providing mental health therapy, early childhood education and care, and family home visiting. Haulcy is an active member of Liberty Community Church where she serves as a Ruling Elder. She earned a Master of Divinity from Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, a Master of Public Administration from the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota, and a Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mount Olivet is proud to welcome the Bemidji Alumni Choir to share their gift of song with us during both services on October 22. Mount Olivet’s own Duaine Morphew is a member of this group.

The Bemidji Alumni Choir is one of Minnesota’s premiere choral organizations located in the Twin Cities.

The Bemidji Alumni Choir singers are virtually all former members of Bemidji State University Choir. Most of the singers sang with the choir on regional and national concert tours, including two performances in Carnegie Hall, as well as one or more of the choirs’s 12 European or Israel tours. The choir practices the a capella choral tradition which emphasizes accurate intonation, unity of tone within each section, and phrasing that captures the deeper meaning of the text.
