Planting and Blessing at Ross Farm

Directly after church, Sunday School students are invited to meet at Ross Farms in Basking Ridge to help us plant the lettuce and beans that we have been growing for the Somerset Food Bank Network. Bring a small shovel. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Lynn Mitchell so we can plan accordingly.

Father Rick Morley from St. Mark's in Basking Ridge, The Rev. Beth Rauen Sciaino of St Bernard's in Bernardsville and  Mother Susan Ironside will meet with the gardeners on Sunday at noon to bless the garden and give thanks for God's generosity in inviting us to share in this ministry!

Holy Communion Instruction
Sunday, June 11
All the baptized are always welcome to receive the Holy Food and Drink, including infants!  But many children want to learn more about the Sacrament.  On Sunday, June 11 at 9:15 AM, Mother Susan will meet in the Chapel with any children who want to learn more about Holy Communion.   All children are welcome, whether they have received Holy Communion before and wish to learn more about it, or if they have yet to receive Holy Communion.   Please email Lynn Mitchell to let us know if you would like to participate.

Vacation Bible School
