Arlingtonville Kids programs are opened safely. They are studying the Tower of Babel this week!

A S MAY SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
As a church family, we have an A S May Elementary School Supply Drive every year. Everything collected goes directly to the A S May Elementary School, part of the Arlington School District. A S May Elementary School is around the corner at 601 Dutchess Turnpike. This drive directly benefits the kids and the families in our immediate neighborhood who struggle to buy the supplies their children need at the start of the school year. There are many school supply sales going on at pharmacies and department stores right now. Please start bringing in your supplies each week and put them in the box provided for them at the front of the sanctuary. Thank you!
                             
Collections continue through 9/05/2021.

LAST SUNDAY'S CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

Thank you to all who were able to stay for our special congregational meeting last Sunday. Our meeting was concerning our future as a church and our considerations for leaving the RCA denomination to affiliate with Changepoint Church-whose pastors have been serving us for the past two and a half years. We love them and have built many ministry ties. This is a process and we have had many meetings, conversations, and provided much information to our Classis as we do our due diligence to build up and strengthen the Arlington Reformed Church.

The congregational vote was resoundingly in favor of this healthy change. We wait now as our Classis processes information and makes their recommendation. Please continue to pray.for God's perfect will for the Arlington Reformed Church.

This is a great time to invite family members and friends. All are welcomed!
THE COMPASSION OF JESUS
SIX WEEK SUMMER STUDY
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS 6-7:15PM
JULY 14-AUGUST 18

In a world full of hurting and broken hearts we could all use compassion. Jesus defined compassion during his life on earth. His love for people was evident in everything he did, especially in his actions towards marginalized groups. Now that he is no longer on the earth with us, it’s our responsibility to carry out that care for others. This study reveals the compassionate heart of Jesus and will show us how to use it to impact the people in our lives.
 
Rob Grant leads singing on his guitar, we study God’s Word and then fellowship over a light meal and desserts in the fellowship hall. All are welcomed.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A WONDERFUL RELAXING TIME OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP OVER FOOD GOTTEN FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS IN OUR EFFORT TO BUILD COMMUNITY TIES. PLEASE JOIN US! THERE ARE 4 WEEKS LEFT TO OUR SUMMER SERIES.
Please call or email the church if you would like to talk to someone.
We love to hear from you. 845-454-2704

OFFERINGS

Thank you for giving to your church. Especially during a pandemic when not everyone is able to come out to Sunday worship service, continuing to mail in your offerings has been humbling to the consistory and financial committee.
