In Our Community


In Our Community…
Congratulations!


On June 26, Alex Murphy affirmed his baptism through the Rite of Confirmation. He is the son of Damian and Sharon Murphy. As a congregation, we commit ourselves to pray for and encourage Alex in his life as a disciple of Jesus Christ

Congratulations to Susan Wilson, who participated in the NJ Special Olympics Track and Field event held at The College of NJ in Ewing over the weekend of June 10-12. Susan placed second in the Baton Relay, third in the Softball Throw and fifth in the run/walk. Bravo, Susan!

Thank You!

To Chris and Nancy Duhm and to the Boy Scouts that helped paint the church.

In order to go Eagle (the highest honor in Boy Scouts) a scout must complete 21 mandatory merit badges and then do an Eagle Project. One of our scouts, Robert Kyle needed an Eagle Project and called Chris Duhm; Chris and Nancy showed him what needed to be done in the church and Robert took on the entire lower lever (minus the choir room and music room). Before he painted he spent an entire day (over 10 hours) with many volunteers washing down the walls, pipes and radiators - his team them spackled areas that needed to be repaired. He has in over 200 hours so far! His goal is to be done by the end of June - just in time for us to welcome our new Pastor!

Thank You!
Thanks to everyone who donated the many geraniums which decorated our sanctuary for Pentecost. Special thanks to Nancy Duhm for planting them beneath the sign out front, where they can be enjoyed all summer!
