Church Celebrates 200 Years Of Worship The 1st Presbyterian Church of Montrose, PA is celebrating 200 years of worship. The church is presenting a free concert of Contemporary Christian and Gospel music for all to enjoy. The concert is sponsored by the church and Todd Robinson, a Montrose native whom most notably is enjoying a successful career as an opera singer. Robinson grew up in the church and says, “I wouldn’t be the musician I am today had it not been for all the musical opportunities that our church provided.” Robinson’s personal connection to this concert runs deeper than just showing up and performing for the public. Robinson served as the music director for the church from mid 1990 to 1999 and said “it was one of the best musical experiences of my life. Not only am I excited for the church to still be here after 200 years, but my great ancestors were some of the founding members of this grand little church. I think most people are sentimental about the church they ‘grew-up’ in and I am no different, but I always feel a strong connection when I simply walk through the door. It’s a simple and beautiful house of worship, but there are bricks and mortar that were laid by my family 200 years ago. How awesome is that!?” Robinson spends most of his time performing as an opera singer, stage director and conductor while being the General Director of Opera Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho. “I spend most of my time with ‘serious’ music, so I wanted to put on a concert of more contemporary and gospel music. I won’t be singing operatically at this concert! Serious or ‘classical’ music is wonderful and touches many people, but contemporary music can have the same impact and possibly reach even more people’s ears. Being able to share the music that I’ve written with the church and community, that started all of this for me, is one of the greatest honors I could ever have.” Robinson has formed a Christian band called As I Am that will be performing along with two other local groups, Saving Graces and One Voice. “This concert is about celebrating a milestone in this church’s life, but it’s more about sharing Christ’s love through music with all who wish to attend.” The concerts will be June 17 and 18 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. with a reception to follow. The 1st Presbyterian Church of Montrose is located at 71 Church Street, Montrose, PA. For any additional information please call the church at 570-278-3296.

Wildflower Walk At Local Preserve The spring of 2010 has been full of surprises, with the season arriving early, abruptly departing for more winter snowfalls, then making way for summer, and finally reappearing as spring. As confused as the weather is, however, wildflowers are once again blooming at Florence Shelly Wetland, a 400-acre nature preserve just north of Thompson, PA. This preserve is recognized as an ecological niche of uncommon diversity, and on Sunday, June 13, at 2:00 p.m., participants on a guided nature walk will discover both rare and common wildflowers. Because of the contrariness of the weather, the walk leaders are prepared to be as surprised as participants about what flowers they’ll discover hidden among leaves, clustered along streambeds, and nestled against rocky outcroppings. Likely possibilities include the wild geranium, with its five lavender petals; the delicate blue speedwell (sometimes known as birds-eye speedwell); and herb Robert, a plant which has long been reported to have properties beneficial to the human immune system. A favorite flower on this annual walk at the preserve is the sensuous pink lady’s slipper. Moist soil by the glacial pond and along stream beds offers ideal habitat for the showy Jack-in-the-pulpit. Mouse-ear hawkweed, golden Alexander, common chickweed, bluets, and wood sorrel are also likely to be found. The walk will be led by Ken Goldsmith, a member of the Florence Shelly Preserve Stewardship Committee. The wildflower walk is free of charge and will last approximately two hours. No reservations are required. Meet a few minutes before 2:00 p.m. at the preserve parking lot one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, at the point where Stack Road intersects. A sign marks the entrance. The preserve is a wetlands, so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet or muddy. For more information call Trebbe Johnson at 570-727-4272.
