Stewardship Update

Many thanks to the  Adult Giving Units and  Youth who have committed to our church‘s ministry for the coming year. If you intend to make a commitment to our Church‘s ministry for 2010, we hope you will complete a pledge card as soon as possible and drop it in the plate or mail it to the church office.
We are putting together the budget for what looks like a very challenging year and we need to hear from you! If you cannot make a commitment, it is helpful to know that also.
Barbara Darragh for the Stewardship Committee



Sunday Worship Services are now on CD
Sunday Worship Services are now on CD  If you know of some one (e.g., housebound) who would like to receive a recording of the worship service, please contact Chuck Radke 914-962-4370. 

The Deacons will arrange for delivery of a bulletin and a CD recording.  Also, if you have a small, simple to use CD player that you aren't using anymore, we could use it (Call Chuck Radke and he will come to pick it up).  Many of the homebound do not have one.  Thanks.




Biblical Garden
Plants mentioned in the Bible are a living link between us and the people in the Bible.  They are symbols which allow us to think about spiritual messages and truths.

There is a small group of people interested in creating a little garden with plants from the Bible.  We hope to label the plants with references from scripture and become more aware of the important role plants played in the stories of the Scriptures.

If you would be interested in participating please contact Lynda Spring: sprinla@hotmail.com or 914-528-7570 or Carol Myers: CMyers4487@comcast.net or 845-225-4205.

New in the Church Library

Selections from the popular theological writings of C. S. Lewis, one of the most influen-tial Christian writers of the 20th century, have been collected and arranged in A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from his Classic Works (242 L). Ruminating on such themes as the nature of love, the existence of miracles, overcoming a devastating loss, and discovering a profound faith, Lewis offers unflinchingly honest insight for each day of the year.

Carol Jensen, Church Librarian
If you're curious about whether the Church Library has a particular book, there's an easy way to check. On the shelves near the book return box is a loose-leaf binder containing an author list of all the adult books in the Library, and a second list by call number (which represents subject areas). There's a second copy of the notebook in the Church Office.
