MINI GOLF COMPETITION -  The Fellowship Committee is hosting a fund raiser for Family Promise and it will be an afternoon of fun, fellowship and some competition.  On Sunday, Oct. 3, at 2 pm we will be going to the Mini Golf Course on Paramus Road, Paramus (opposite from Biagio's Restaurant).  The rain date is Sunday, Oct. 10, at 2 pm.  Even if you have never played golf or miniature golf before, come out and try your luck and have some fun with your friends.  Refreshments will be served and a trophy will be given to the person with the lowest score. 

 

Tickets are $7 for ages 55 and over and children under 12.  $10 for adults and children over 12.  The tickets must be purchased at the church and they will be on sale starting Sunday, Sept. 5.  You may also call the church, 201-343-7550, to order your tickets. 

 

Family Promise is an organization that is committed to helping families who are struggling to move forward and become and stay self sufficient.  There are over 500 school-aged children in Bergen County identified as homeless.  The government's response is some form of temporary rental assistance for families, but Family Promise is working with the families for the long haul.  Come out, have some fun, fellowship and help us raise some money for this very worthwhile organization!

 

 

 

We are excited to reopen for worship in our beautiful sanctuary. The first in person service was on Mother’s Day. 

Our thanks to the consistory and staff in helping to take the necessary safety precautions in order to continue providing a worry-free worship space for everyone. As before, we will be guided by the most scientific data, the guidelines and mandates of the CDC, NJ Department of Health and the Word of God.  Masks and social distancing are still the norms. 

 

We will continue to provide online worship for all who are unable or uncomfortable returning because they are in a high risk category, live with or care for those who are in a high risk category or are just not ready to return for reasons of their own. Our weekly email blast will be sent out with the Zoom link and bulletin for that Sunday.

 

We will continue with worship services remotely via our Zoom link, our telephone dial-in, and YouTube channel. 

Make sure to join us on Zoom for Coffee Fellowship at 12:00 noon.
