Important Church Closure InformationBecause of the continuing spread of the Corona virus in our area, and as a result of the continuing and mandated shutdowns, curfews and self-quarantines imposed by local and state government, the Consistory and staff have determined that we will need to continue the closure of the church building and refrain from holding meetings and services until further notice.
The Second Reformed Church will continue to be closed to all regular business and services including:
The memorial service for Joy Squilanti will be rescheduled to a later date.
We will continue to reassess as things change.

Deacon Michelle Hickey did a beautiful job leading us in worship and delivered her sermon on Laity Sunday:
Laity Sunday focuses on the celebration of the ministry of all Christians, especially those who aren't ministers of Word and sacrament. It offers a chance for members of all ages to pause and consider their own unique calling to ministry within the community of believers.
Second's After School Program
THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELED UNTIL STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL
We covet your prayers for the grand opening of our After School program on September 17. We are creating a warm and welcoming place in which the youth (5th and 6th graders) of Hackensack can grow academically and socially. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the church office.
  Our ministers, Reverends Anna and Dwayne Jackson
 We remember and give thanks for those members of the church who have gone before us to be with the Lord. We are comforted, as the Scriptures remind us, that both in life and in death we belong to the Lord. (Rom. 14:8).
We pray that God will make complete the union of our departed ones and Himself, and that we might one day share in the same eternal communion. We call to remembrance those members of the church who departed since we last observed All Saints Sunday:
