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.
September 21st, Leadership Retreat
On Saturday, September 21st many members in leadership of our congregation gathered "off-site" at Christ Lutheran Church in Woodcliff Lake (thanks CLC!) for a time of discussion and fellowship. It was a wonderful day!
First Holy Communion, June 23rd
In Holy Communion we receive the forgiveness of sins, life and salvation. It is a wonderful gift, given to us by Jesus himself, that is healing for the soul. On June 23rd we celebrated with this wonderful young lady as she received this sacrament of grace for the first time. God bless her!
Church - School Picnic, June 9th
Near the end of each school year the church invites our school families to worship and a picnic to celebrate our partnership in caring for our children! This year a brief rainstorm kept us inside but couldn't dampen our spirits. Another wonderful school year "in the books!"
An Easter "Thank you!"
A special "thank you" to everyone who was involved in our Holy Week and Easter services this year! To all those who:
read on Palm Sunday, wrote meditations on Good Friday, to our fantastic altar guild for breaking down and setting up for several services in quick succession, to our wonderful choir for the beautiful music and Richard their leader, and to Fran in the office for getting all the worship bulletins done.
It was a profound week of worship and praise - thank you all!
