New Book for Sunday School

New Hempstead Presbyterian Church Posted on June 20, 2019 by

Pauline Mattis and the Christian Nurture and Spiritual Growth committee have chosen a new book for the children’s Sunday school. Growing in God’s Love: A Story-Bible is a fun book which introduces the children to the classic Bible stories in a way that we have found keeps their attention.

Lenten Series

New Hempstead Presbyterian Church Posted on March 2, 2019 by

From Pastor Knight-Whitehouse: Lent is often a time of “giving something up”: candy, alcohol, etc.  Or it is a time of “taking up”:  practicing kindness, spending more time in prayer. Perhaps this Lent you might want to think about letting go of things that are unnecessary:  worry, fear, short temper, procrastination.  Once you spend 6 weeks letting go of these things, you may find that life is better without them. … Continue reading →
