  • Join Prince of Peace for Night at Nisbet!

    Join Prince of Peace for Night at Nisbet!

    by Cassie Mattia

    Loveland, Ohio – Downtown Loveland is bringing another event your way hosted by local church Prince of Peace!

    On Thursday, July 29th beginning at 6 PM Prince of Peace Lutheran Church (POP) will be hosting “Night at Nisbet,” an event dedicated to supporting those in the community as they pursue their dreams and reach for their goals. The fun-filled night will take place at Nisbet Park, a park located right off the Loveland Bike Trail at 126 Karl Brown Way. The park also includes an amphitheater in which local bands Watchfrogs and Pocket will be performing. There will also be “Open Mic” slots available for students to show off their talents to the community.

    Pastor Lily Brondyke who is a POP intern that is currently preparing for her final year of Seminary at Wartburg, will be spearheading the “Night at Nisbet” along with help from the ELCA Open Doors Grant. Pastor Lily will be graduating in 2022 with a Master of Divinity Degree.

    Pastor Lily is hoping to make “Night at Nisbet” one of the best POP events yet as she will be completing her internship with POP on August 8th just in time for her final year of Seminary. Pastor Lily will be preaching at both POP services on August 8th. A coffee and cake celebration will be held after each of Pastor Lily’s services so that the community will have the opportunity to wish her well before she leaves. POP will also be presenting Lily with a gift on her last day. If you would like to contribute to the gift you can make a check out to Prince of Peace with “Intern Gift” noted on the memo line or you can donate online.

    If you are interested in celebrating Pastor Lily, the beautiful community we live in, and many local talented musical artists take a trip down to Nisbet Park for a “Night at Nisbet!”

    Read on below to see all the “Night at Nisbet” details provided by Pastor Lily and POP!


    Make a Date To Be Creative

    And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as we see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 24-25

    This past year forced many of us to think about relationships and connections. How do we connect with our communities? How do we form relationships? The COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses, schools, churches, families, and friends to get creative about connection.  Eventually, vaccines made it possible for the pandemic to look a little different. Masks and social distancing became optional when vaccinated. Gatherings became safer.  But there’s no turning back to an old kind of normal. 

    At Prince of Peace, creativity became a driving force for our mission of living and loving like Jesus in the world.  

    We are called to think creatively about how we live and love like Jesus. We are called to consider how we build community and lift up one another. We are called to love and support each other as we pursue our dreams.  

    Night at Nisbet is about all of this — getting out and loving the communities in which we live. Lifting each other up and celebrating what God is doing in each of our lives.   Come together for a night of music, community, and celebration. 
      


    Nisbet Park is iconic to downtown Loveland. Situated on the bike path, within walking distance to great local food, drink, and sno-cones, a night at this park guarantees a good time. Some folks walk or run or bike on by, on their way to another spot. Some use the picnic tables for time with family and friends. There’s a playground, a pavilion, bathrooms—basically everything you could need. It’s a great place to gather people.  

    If you like good music, supporting local musicians, and having a good time with good people, it’s coming here to Loveland. If you are looking for something fun to do with family or friends or are excited about a different, creative ministry in an ever-changing world, pay attention to this event.   Night at Nisbet is dedicated to community and local music.

    Mark July 29th at 6:00  PM on your calendar because you won’t want to miss this night! Local bands, ‘Watchfrog’ and ‘Pocket’ will be performing. And you’ll probably see some familiar faces on the stage. Open mic slots feature student talent right from our own area!  

    Night at Nisbet is sponsored by Prince of Peace through an ELCA Open Doors grant. To learn more about ELCA Open Doors, visit here.
    See you there!

It is not limited to runners or highly athletic individuals. It is a race in that it has a start and finish line but along the way, it challenges the contestants in many ways. It is a fun, quirky, adventure that challenges the contestant’s agility, balance, coordination, strength, intelligence, problem-solving skills, fine motor skills, and most importantly, their sense of humor. You are invited whether it is to compete or join our team of over 500 volunteers so come enjoy, have a great time for a good cause and as always expect the unexpected. Racers must be AT LEAST 13 years old to do the race with a parent. At 16 years old, racers can do the race with another 16 year old.

    Olivia Smith

    by Olivia Smith

    Loveland, Ohio – Tonight’s scheduled jazz concert will be in the high school auditorium instead of downtown Loveland, due to the weather.

    The Loveland High School Jazz Lab Band and Jazz Orchestra were scheduled to perform at the Narrow Path Brewing Company in Historic Downtown Loveland starting at 7 PM tonight.

    Only parents of the students will be permitted to attend tonight in the LHS gym, however the general public and fans of jazz will be able to watch the concert in a livestream.

    See you tonight at 7 PM. Here is the link for the livestream: https://camstreamer.com/redirect/9aef3a7cc178fa3/S-58561

    On Tuesday, May 4th, the Loveland High School Concert and Symphonic bands, along with the Wind Ensemble will be performing in the Nisbet Park Amphitheater starting at 6 PM.

    The Jazz bands will be playing a wide variety of tunes, such as the theme from “Family Guy” and a Stevie Wonder Medley. You all can enjoy Narrow Path’s wide variety of beers while listening to fun music and supporting the Loveland music program. 

    The High School’s concert bands have a fun variety of tunes as well, including the one and only theme song from “Star Wars”. They will have interim superintendent Bradley Neavin guest conduct a piece as well.

    Tuesday, May 4th – Concert Band, Symphonic Band, & Wind Ensemble in Nisbet Park Amphitheater at 6 PM.

    The outdoor, COVID-19 friendly event is a great way for all of you to support the wonderful music program in Loveland, and see what they do.

    The music program in the Loveland City Schools wants to bring the music to the public instead of bringing the public to the music.

    So, if you want to have a fun time listening to some fantastic music, support us on April 29th (Livestream) and May 4th in Nesbit Park!
