A message from Susan Hanyen

With great sadness, we at New Utrecht Reformed Church report that our beloved pastor, Rev. EJ Emerson, died August 7, 2020, in hospital. Rev. EJ touched so many lives. She was a woman of great faith and we are certain that she is in the hands of the Lord now. Please pray for her family, her friends and her church community as we remember her life and her goodness.

A Note from Pastor EJ

NURC leadership has come together, prayerfully, to talk about returning safely to in-person worship, in this time of Covid 19. Because the situation is still fluid, there is no date set as yet for opening. The welfare of the congregation and the community is important. There will be procedures in place once Sunday Service resumes. Updates will be on the website.
