Scaffolding
is erected as sanctuary prepares to close to make repairs
An
entire section of pews on the left side of the altar is closed as
scaffolding is erected to make repairs on the roof. The historic
balcony of the New Utrecht Reformed Church sanctuary is
also closed. Very soon the sanctuary
itself will also close; services will then be held in the Parish House.
Please pray for its restoration. A special consistory meeting,
concerning the condition of the roof, will take place on Wednesday,
October 15th at 7 PM.
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.
Please
help the day laborers by buttering rolls
The next tentatively scheduled
roll buttering will take place next Sunday, October 19th after service.
The buttering
rolls, to help the day laborers in Bensonhurst,
takes place every other Sunday at the Parish House and is a joint
project with Bay Ridge
United Church.
Pray
for...
Anna Schroeder and Rocco Armacida, both of whom are in the hospital,
