Worship Sneak Peek
August 8th, 2021 at 10:00 am
Join us this Sunday for online worship at 10:00 am. We'll be continuing on our sermon series called Lessons from the Toy Box, looking for lessons of faith from some of our favorite childhood toys. This week, we'll explore together the meaning we can find from LEGOS. Hope to see you at worship! Worship for August 8th and 15th will be online only.

Pastor Jess is on Vacation this week.

Pastor Jess is away on a camping trip with her family this week, and will return to work on August 9th. If there are church related questions you have, please reach out to Lida DeNardo who will direct you to the right person.

If there is a pastoral emergency, Rev. David Henritzy will be covering in my absence. His contact information is davidhenritzy@verizon.net and 914-584-3160.

I pray you may find rest and relaxation!

Peace,
Pastor Jess
Asbestos Removal and Boiler Replacement Scheduled for July 26th through August 13th

Please mark your calendars now, for the entire church building will be closed for three weeks between July 26th and August 13th. During that time, NO ONE is allowed in the building, so we will be shifting to remote worship on the following Sundays: August 1st, 8th, and 15th. The building is scheduled to return to full operational use on Monday, August 16th.
Boiler Replacement Project
This summer we will be undertaking a large capital improvement project to replace the boiler in the Christian Education wing of our building. Because of the asbestos remediation that is involved in this project, the total cost is projected to be $124,460, a large portion of which will be funded from our endowment. To learn more about the scope of the project, click here to view a detailed presentation. We are incredibly thankful to the generosity of our saints who have gone before us and contributed to the endowment. If you would like to help defray the cost of this project, donations are more than welcome, either through a check with "Boiler Project" in the memo line, or an online contribution here. If you would like to learn more about how to plan your advanced giving to the church endowment to help secure the future sustainability of UMCRB for years to come, contact Pastor Jess, or click here to learn more about your planned giving options.
No Summer Sunday School for the Remainder of the Summer
Please note that Summer Sunday school has concluded for the summer.
Sunday school will resume on SEPTEMBER 19TH.

Thank you for coming to the Summer Concert Series

We hope you enjoyed the Summer Concert Series. If you missed a week, go back and watch from our church YouTube page.
Back Pack donations are on pause while the church building is closed. Please hold all donations until after the church building opens on August 16th.
Due to the building closure the Mission and Service Committee is not able to have our annual school supply collection.

Sharing this option for anyone that would like to still contribute.
