CCNW update – diapers needed!
In February, we collected 65.2 lbs. of food for the Community Center of Northern Westchester. When we dropped off today, they told us that in addition to the regular non-perishable food items, they are currently in desperate need of Size 3 or larger diapers. Please help if you can. Donations can be brought to church or delivered directly to the CCNW in Katonah. Thank you for your continued support of our Community Partner!
Carpenter’s Kids
In mid-March, Bishop Dickson Chilongani (who succeeded Bishop Mdimi Mhogolo), his wife Pendo and their sons Imani and John will be visiting New York (Manhattan, Mahopac, & New Paltz). All are welcome to attend and meet the bishop and his family, and hear about the next phase of this program. The events are free and open to all, but registration is required.

Sacrament of Reconciliation (aka Confession or Penance)
Although many Episcopalians don’t realize it, we do have the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The rite is in the Book of Common Prayer at pages 446-452. In some Christian denominations, people are required to receive this Sacrament a certain number of times each year in order to receive Communion and to be considered a member in good standing. In the Episcopal Church, the guideline is “All may; none must; some should.” It is entirely up to an individual. You sit and talk with the priest in private. The “Seal of the Confessional” means what is said is held in absolute confidence by the priest. While Reverend Gwyneth is always available to hear Confession, on Good Friday, she will be available from 1:30 to 4:00 in the Sanctuary. Rev G is available to answer questions about this (or anything else, for that matter).
We ask for your continued prayers for our Search Committee and all those who will be submitting their names in the hopes of becoming our next Rector.
