Strawberry Festival - June 28th

What a wonderful time we had, enjoying the June sunshine and all kinds of strawberry dishes!  Despite a little morning rain the rest of the day was just perfect.  We're so happy that members of our Bogota community stopped by to enjoy some free food and drink - and the games too!  Thanks to everyone who helped organize, prepare and staff this event!

Cross Painting, Palm Sunday, April 13th

During our coffee hour after worship on Palm Sunday, we painted wooden crosses.  We let them sit to dry, then on the 2nd Sunday of Easter (April 27th) we held them up as we sang the hymn "Lift High The Cross" at the end of worship.  People were then free to take their crosses home, or leave them on lend to the church.  Those crosses that remained then became the display for our new votive candle table in our nave.  What a beautiful project for both young and old!  

St. Patrick's Dinner, March 16th

On March 16th we celebrated our annual St. Patrick's Dinner with all the fixings - corned beef, cabbage, goulash, shepherd's pie and more!  A great time of food and fellowship and appreciating one of the many cultures in our community!

November 23rd - Turkey Drive

Every November we hold a special food drive focused on collecting food for Thanksgiving, including frozen turkeys.  This year we collected 14 turkeys and a ham as well as filling 4 crates of food which went to Center for Food Action.  We are thankful for everyone who donated to help make the holiday a little brighter for our needy neighbors.

October 26th - Oktoberfest

On Saturday, October 26th we joined our friends at Grace Lutheran in Teaneck to hold a combined "Oktoberfest" celebration!  There was great food and great company.  We also had a German band who played joyous songs and there was even dancing!  A wonderful time was had by all!

October 6th - Blessing of the Animals

We had a wonderful group of furry and not-furry friends for our annual Blessing of the Animals this year.  We had five dogs, two cats, a guinea pig and a bearded dragon join us in thanking God for our animal companions.  Each pet and their owner received a prayer of blessing.
