One Great Hour of Sharing and Project Hospitality Food Pantry
Next week is Thanksgiving Sunday and World Hunger Sunday!
One Great Hour of Sharing
will be celebrated next Sunday! Please set aside at least $50 for this special
world mission fund! Dedicate your offering to the memory or honor of a loved
one! Fill out the form so we can
acknowledge your loved ones in next week's bulletin! Our food drive will end
next week! Please bring food! We will be collecting food for Project
Hospitality's Food Pantry. Items needed include: pasta, canned tomato sauce,
vegetables, tuna, fruit, meat, cereals.
Last year we raised close to $700,
This year I know we can raise more!
Study series for new believers
This week we begin an education series for new believers! Join us after
church at 12:30 PM for a half hour study time.
Thank you!
Many thanks to the goblin and ghost helpers who made Halloween a blest event
for the children of our community! Thank you Elder Louise & committee for
organizing a delightful frightful time!
Commissioning
event postponed
The commissioning event on October 17 celebrating the Rev. Terry Troia's 10th
anniversary as minister of this church has been postponed until May 2005.
Thank you!
To Maria Campanella, the
Ice Cream Girl, for holding a Memorial Concert
in front of our church on 9/11. She produced a fine concert with patriotic
songs and helped raise funds to restore our
church.
Our thanks to everyone who made Saturday's participation in the
Columbus Day Parade and the reception
following a wonderful success!
Special thanks to Rose Lood!
Ice
Cream Girl receives Liberty Medal
Maria Campanella, the
Ice Cream Girl
who held a 9/11 memorial concert
on the lawn of New Utrecht Church, won the Lifetime Achievement Medal,
a Liberty Medal sponsored by the New York Post.
Campanella, who among other things is MADD Brooklyn
coordinator, who raises a "community garden" along the Belt Parkway
and at one time saved a man's life, raised hundreds of dollars on
behalf of Friends of Historic New Utrecht at the 9/11 concert. Extra envelopes for the Restoration Fund
Extra envelopes will be provided for the New Utrecht Reformed Church
Restoration
Fund at each Sunday service. Please contribute generously.
Ongoing food drive
Deacon Debbie Siciargo has started a ongoing Food Drive. The donations are
somewhat less than expected. Please buy a little
extra of nonperishable food for the needy and bring the items to the collection
basket at the Parish House before service.
Pray for...
Alice Hightower;
Marion Hodgman who is seriously ill;
Rose Lood;
Fr. Jack Ryan's mother;
Anna Schroeder;
Debbie Siciargo and
the Rev. Bob Peterson, our organist, who suffers
from Parkinson's Disease.
