Food Pantry Collection for January
SOUP!
Feeding the hungry is an important ministry, taught by Christ. Each month we focus on collecting a different food item to help stock a local food pantry's shelves. For the month of January we'll be collecting soup - either cans or packets. Our donations are sent to Never Alone Again Resource Center in Teaneck - a ministry that does wonderful work!

Our book for January is:
Living in Wonder: Finding Mystery and Meaning in a Secular Age by Rod Dreher, 2024.
Join the bestselling author of The Benedict Option and Live Not by Lies on an exploration of the mystery and meaning of the supernatural world and discover that the universe is not what we think it is: it is far more strange, exciting, connected, and adventurous.
Anointing for Healing
Sunday, January 26th during worship
At the end of our worship service, all those who would like to receive a prayer of healing and anointing of their foreheads with oil are invited to come forward and receive a prayer and anointing by the pastor. Anointing with oil for healing is a practice handed down to us from the New Testament (Mark 6:13, James 5:14).
Prayer Meeting & Brown Bag Lunch
Wednesdays, noon
Each Wednesday we gather for a simple service of prayer using the words of the Great Litany, the Lord's Prayer and our own individual petitions. We speak, but there is also time for silence. We also light prayer candles to help us focus, as symbols to the presence of the Holy Spirit, and of our prayers rising to God.
After our time of prayer we enjoy a bring-your-own brown bag lunch.
Choir Rehearsal
Wednesdays, 7:30pm
Our choir sings weekly from Sept. - June and their musical offerings add such meaning to our worship! If you love to sing, the choir would love to have you with them!
Bible Study
Thursdays, 7:00pm
On November 14th we will begin a 12 week series, getting to know "Old Testament Characters." We'll be learning about: Jonah, Hannah, Samuel, Abraham, King Saul and Esther just to name a few!
If you'd like to attend any or all of the sessions, please let Fran or Pastor know so that we can order a booklet for you.
