Please Donate Non-Perishable Food
Non-perishable food can be brought to the sanctuary next Sunday, September 14th, before service, and every second Sunday of the month, to benefit Project Hospitality and the Brooklyn Council of Churches.

Our Organ Needs Repair
Please note that in addition to our sanctuary and bell tower needing repairs, our organ, installed in 1948, also needs repair. That is why our organist is at the piano these days. Please pray for its restoration.

Patriot Day - Thursday, September 11th
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and our community on September 11th.
