ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE

WELCOME HOME!  
 

We are now open for worship each Sunday at 10 AM. 

 

 

Join us after church for Holy Grounds Coffee Hour, a time of fellowship, conversation, and community. It’s a great opportunity to connect with one another, enjoy a warm cup of coffee, and share in the joy of friendship. We’d love to see you there!

 

Thrift Store
 

The Thrift Store will close for the winter starting Nov 22.  The hours when open are from 10am to 3pm Thursday and Saturdays.

 

Community Outreach

 

Our church joyfully contributed 201 cans of soup to Maureen’s Haven, helping to support those in need in our community. Thank you to everyone who donated and made this effort a success—your generosity truly makes a difference!

Rev. Dr. Marjorie Purnine, Guest Preacher

     On Sunday, November 2, we welcomed Associate Conference Minister Rev. Dr. Marjorie Purnine as our guest preacher.

     Rev. Dr. Marjorie Purnine has served as Associate Conference Minister for Leadership Development for the New York Conference since 2013 and has run the New York School of Ministry, as its second Dean, since 2007. Before becoming an ACM, she provided pastoral leadership for three congregations in Central New York and taught at Le Moyne College. She studied for her Ph.D. in Religion and Literature at Boston University. She has her M.Div. from Yale Divinity School and a master’s degree from Syracuse University. Marjorie is married to Daniel Purnine, and they have one daughter, Lucy.

 

Deacons’ Clothing Outreach

     Knowing that our Thrift Shop closes on November 22, if you are aware of anyone who is in need of clothing for themselves or their children, we can offer $25 vouchers for the Thrift Shop which will be reimbursed from our Deacons’ Fund.

 

Deacons’ Food Outreach

     We ask you to inform us if you know of anyone in our congregation who is particularly in need of our help, especially around the holidays.

     We encourage you to continue your generous contributions of peanut butter and jelly, but also, if you can, please contribute non-perishable food items that we can donate at Thanksgiving.

 

Maureen’s Haven

     Maureen’s Haven Homeless Shelter is looking for donations of toiletries (sample size) and new socks.  We will have a box on the front pew, west side of the church, to receive these donations.  Karen Hartmann has volunteered to deliver the items to Maureen’s Haven.  This project will be ongoing through Easter.  Thank you for your generosity.

 

Wider Missions Committee

     Our Wider Missions Committee did a wonderful job with the school supply drive this past August. We could use a few more members, though.  Please text Ann Van Cleef at 631-275-3461 if you are interested in serving.

 

Thrift Store

     The last day that our Thrift Shop will be open this year is Saturday, November 22.  Our half-price sale begins on Thursday, November 13.  The last day that we will be accepting donations is Saturday, November 1.

     We will not be purging clothing today; we hope to sell what we have.

     A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who has assisted with our Thrift Shop this year.
