July 2003

We welcome to the pulpit this month three preachers who have already made their mark at New Utrecht!

Rev. Daryl Vetter, a pastor of Lakeland Reformed Church in Vicksburg, Michigan, filled our pulpit last May. He, his wife, Glenda, and members of his congregation return again this year to give their time in service to Project Hospitality. They will also be helping us care for the cemetery. No better way to celebrate our nation's birth than to care for the heroes of the Revolutionary War which allows us to celebrate today as a free and independent nation!

Rev. Bob Peterson, our organist and pastor of Prospect Park Baptist Church, shares his preaching talent as well as his music with us on July 13th.

Rev. John Magisano, assistant pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford, Conn. and a son of the Middle Collegiate Church, will be with us again for July 20th & 27th. John is also Director of Collaboration for the New York AIDS Coalition.

A New Way to Gather in the Late Days of Summer
In August, we will host special bible study and informal prayer time together Sundays, 11 AM in the Sanctuary.

Bible Study will be led on August 3rd, 24th & 31st by Bette Johnson Sohm, licensed preacher in the Methodist Church and member of Faith United Methodist Church, Staten Island.

Bible Study will be led on August 10th & 17th by Fr. Jack Ryan, Director of Development for Project Hospitality and Former Director of Mount Manresa Retreat House.

Bring your bibles! Prepare to be amazed! Have a blest summer!

Our day laborer feeding ministry continues through the summer. Volunteers are needed on July 13th & 27th and August 10th & 24th to butter rolls! Please stay after service those days to help feed the hungry!

I (Rev. Terry Troia) will be studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. In the event of emergency, please contact Deacon Rose Lood at 1-718-745-1269. See you in September! Be safe & happy!
