Summer Food Drive, 2022

Now that school is out for the summer, many children are not getting breakfast or lunch through the schools, and the demand at food pantries is even higher than before. We are doing a food drive here at church this summer and ask that you consider a food donation of breakfast and lunch foods, items such as: boxed cereal, peanut butter, jelly, muffin or pancake mix, pop tarts, apple sauce, breakfast bars, oatmeal, syrup or any non-perishables. Shop the summer sales! Donations can be dropped off at the church on Saturday mornings, between 9am and noon, or on Sundays during worship service. All donations will be delivered to the People to People Food Pantry.

Give with joy…Your donations will directly benefit local families in need!

Summer Worship at 10AM

Don’t forget…On Sunday, June 19th, we begin our summer worship start time of 10AM.

Musical Picnic Saturday, June 18th

New Hempstead Presbyterian Church is hosting a Musical Picnic on Saturday, June 18th, from 4pm – 7pm (or thereabouts) at Murchison Hall. We’ll start the fun with a picnic potluck dinner from 4-5pm, serving hamburgers and hot dogs hot off the grill. Please bring cold food–chips, salads, desserts–to share. After we eat, we’ll have a selection of local musicians performing. It will be a casual, social event on the north lawn, indoors if raining. Voluntary donations will be gratefully accepted! Invite your friends and family!

Pentecost Offering – June 5th

Many thanks to Nathan Mungin III of the Martin Luther King Multi-Purpose Center in Spring Valley. Nathan and his wife Laura recently joined us in worship and spoke of the important work being done at the Center, particularly with the children of Rockland County.

Our community’s youth have been heavily impacted by the pandemic. Social isolation and missed classroom time have taken a toll. On a national level, many young people are experiencing depression and social anxiety, which can lead to violence.

What can you do?

Give to our Pentecost Offering on June 5th. Your gifts this year will go to the MLK Center, to help them continue their important work creating a “beloved community” for our children.

Please pray for all our young people, and give generously to the Pentecost Offering.

Inspirational Rock Painting 5/21/22 at 2pm

The Fellowship Committee invites everyone to join in an inspirational rock painting activity on Saturday, May 21st at 2pm in Murchison Hall. The idea is to paint inspirational words, phrases, pictures or designs on rocks. The painted rocks will eventually be placed around our Little Free Library (coming soon!), as small gifts for those wishing to take one. No particular artistic talent is needed for this event–an inspirational word or phrase is all that’s needed! Rocks and painting supplies will be provided.
