All of the children are invited to bring their backpacks to the 10:00am service for our annual Blessing of Backpacks, which includes a special blessing and a back to school surprise package!
Sunday School Registration will take place directly following the 10:00am service.
Please look for Megan Whalen at a table in the breezeway! We look forward to speaking with all of the families who plan to have children in Sunday School this year, and confirming all of our contact information is correct for your family.
Our second annual Arts Jam begins at 12:00pm!
We’ll have poetry, fine art on display, music, readings and other performance! This year, we will be providing burgers, dogs, soda and water etc. and encourage attendees to bring their own sides and any other beverages. It’s going to be a fabulous event – please join us, and bring your friends!
Oktoberfest is Saturday, September 26!
We will roast a whole pig, have brats and sausages, beer and lots of scrumptious German sides. And while we are feasting, we will take the opportunity to remember those in our community who are less fortunate. Everyone is asked to bring a bag of food to Oktoberfest to benefit the food pantry at the Community Center of Northern Westchester. There were 100 reusable bags in the narthex – if each one is filled with 10 lbs., we will have collected 1,000 lbs. in one day! Please join us in this important effort. Pick up your bags on Sunday and bring them to Oktoberfest next Saturday!
