 Announcements & Events

9:30 am Summer Service 

The summer worship schedule has begun. Throughout the summer months, we will offer one service on Sundays; Rite II, Holy Eucharist with music in the Church at 9:30am.  Professional Nursery Care will be offered on Sunday mornings from 9:00am-10:45am in Room 2 of the lower level.  A Simple Lemonade Hour will be offered each Sunday following the worship service, please sign up on the bulletin board to host.

 

Lemonade Hour Sign-Up

Summer is here and so is the 9:30 service and Lemonade Hour! Please sign up for a Summer Sunday and be a host or hostess.  All you have to do is bring a small treat as the lemonade is provided by the church.  The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board outside of the kitchen door.  Weather permitting, Lemonade Hour will take place outside in the front courtyard so we can all enjoy the new landscaping!

 

Plant-Waterers Needed

Help us to keep our new plantings alive and well.  Please volunteer to water the plants.  A sign-up sheet is posted outside of parish hall. For more details, pleas contact Beirne Donaldson at 973-543-2633 (home) or 973-476-0410 (cell).

 

Grass-Cutters Needed

Please help us save over $3,000 this summer by volunteering your time to cut the grass.  We are in need of weekly volunteers.  You can cut the grass any day of the week, as long as it is cut by Sunday in preparation for the Sunday services.  A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board in the hallway near parish hall.  For more information, please contact Beirne Donaldson at 973-543-2633 (home) or 973-476-0410 (cell).

 

Diocesan Trip to Ecuador

This year, we will work with our brothers and sisters in Puyo, a jungle town of 25,000 on the eastern Andean slope at the edge of the Amazon basin.  There is work to be done on the farm and restoring the roof of the Episcopal parish.  As is our custom, we will toil side by side with our hosts, our fellow Anglicans whose lives are intertwined with ours, seeking to do what our Lord asks - serve each other.  We will meet, work and worship with various indigenous groups, including an Amazon Shuar Indian community.  Join us as your diocese continues its journey in faith with our Ecuadorian companions.  Estimated cost is $1390.90.  Act quickly as space is limited to 20.  For more details on the trip, contact Pete Ackerman 908-310-5202 or click here.

Search & Discernment News
Your Search and Discernment Committee has concluded its visitation and assessment work and has presented its recommendations to the Vestry on Monday, June 20.  The Vestry is now considering both those recommendations and next steps including candidate contact, necessary reference checks and required Diocesan approvals.   As information about this next phase of the transition process unfolds, there will be more specific information in our

weekly and monthly publications.  For now, be assured that work is very actively continuing and that your Wardens and Vestry are moving the process and candidates forward to a calling of our next Rector.
