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!  

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!

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.

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!
