The Annie Moses Band is unlike any ensemble in America today. This seems like a rather bold assertion. But the more you break it down, the truer it rings.

First, this is a family outfit, whose members include parents Bill (composer/arranger/pianist) and Robin (lyricist/vocalist) Wolaver and their children: Annie, Alex, Benjamin, Gretchen, Camille, and Jeremiah, in ages ranging from twenty-four down to ten. Second, their background is in classical music. The older siblings trained in the Pre-College Program at the renowned Juilliard School of Music; the youngest are well on their way to similar distinction. All have studied with renowned instructors; most have earned performance awards that testify to the depth of their artistry. Together, as the Annie Moses Band, they combine all their attributes: love for one another, prodigious talent, as well as a creative curiosity that goes beyond the classics, beyond even music, and into the great questions of life.

Join us on Friday, December 17th for a celebration of Christ’s birth!  The concert begins at 7:30pm and tickets start at $10.  Doors will open at 7:00pm.

You won’t want to miss this amazing night of worship and music!  Come, let us adore Him!

*Nature’s Table Cafe will be open at 5:30pm.*

October 2 – 4th, 2010, Northland is pleased to host the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra.  Under the direction of Music Mission Kiev, one of Northland’s global partners in ministry, they will lead us in worship at each of our 5 worship services.  We hope that you will join us that weekend!

Music Mission Kiev began in 1995 when Roger and Diane McMurrin decided to form their own unique mission in Ukraine. Having lived already in Kiev for two years, and having formed the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, they saw the needs of Ukraine and how music played an important part in people’s lives. Musicians who were atheists and agnostics became warm to the Gospel, and many were coming to Christ. In fact, in their first worship service in 1994, one hundred musicians stood to receive Christ as Savior. This began the establishment of the Church of the Holy Trinity, which is still involved in their ministry today. These professional musicians have toured the US nine times since 1996 in forty-one States.

The purpose of Music Mission Kiev is to bring the sacred masterpieces of classical music to the country of Ukraine, proclaiming the Gospel to and through Ukrainian musicians to the world. That “world” includes evangelical outreach to the widows, orphans, school children, and general public of Ukraine, as well as internationally to America, and now the nearby countries of Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. God is opening the doors for MMK to take their music to these foreign cultures that have yet to experience the transforming joy of works like Handel’s Messiah, performed in the Russian language, and other great masterpieces which proclaim Jesus Christ.

How can you help?
We are in need 47 families that would be willing to host the members of the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra during the weekend that they are here.  In addition to providing a comfortable place for them to sleep for 3 nights, they will need transportation to and from Northland throughout the weekend as well as several meals provided by you, the host family.  One of the guidelines we have is that we must house these folks in pairs.
