Furnace Fund Update
You may recall that last December the church furnace gave up for good and needed to be replaced, at a cost of $11,000. The furnace was replaced and the money was paid. A call went out to our members and friends, asking you to consider making a contribution to offset that cost. Given the church’s finances in the middle of the pandemic, a new furnace just was not in the … Continue reading →

Our church is participating in the One Great Hour of Sharing mission offering as we do each year, and traditionally we have contributed our money directly for the PC(USA)’s work in Disaster Assistance, the Hunger Program, and the Self-Development of People. This year your Mission Committee wants to mix it up a bit, continuing to give to the national program but also directing some of our funds to the Presbyterian … Continue reading →
Holy Week 2021
Dear Church Family,
Our Easter Season of worship services and activities is going to look a bit different this year due to COVID 19 safety concerns. Specifically, reservations for the Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday services are required. To make one you can leave a message on the office machine (845-354-2372), by sending an e-mail to office@nhpchurch.org, or signing up in the narthex.
Palm Sunday — Since we are still only allowed 25 people at a time in our sanctuary, there will be a sign up sheet posted in the Narthex for you to use. The service will also be streaming on our website, as usual. Due to COVID concerns, we will not be having our usual pot luck luncheon. Link to: Anthem Video.
Maundy Thursday — This will be a hybrid service as we have been doing for several months now — some people worshiping in church and some virtually. Starts at 7:30 PM.
Good Friday — The service will be provided on our website by the Hudson River Presbytery. Starts at 7:30 PM.
Easter Sunday — As mentioned above for Palm Sunday, there will be sign up sheet in the Narthex. And again, sadly, there will not be an early service and breakfast or an Easter Egg Hunt. Worship starts at 11 AM.
Despite these circumstances, we can still joyfully and safely celebrate our risen Lord together!
In His Name, Sue Rentz, Chair of Worship, Music and the Arts
Ash Wednesday
