An Open and Affirming Congregation

]

      First Wednesday of the month 6:30 PM

The monthly alternative Wednesday evening worship, meal, and experience continue. With the return of cooler weather, the time has come to return to our indoor alternative worship events that have involved a meal and worship developed around a short move (called Movie Shorts).
 
These services are "informal".  The intention is to keep the meals simple.  Following the meal, we enter into worship that involves some quiet meditation, simple singing, with the message being a movie short.  We eat from 6:30-7:00, the worship service begins around 7:15.  The message is a short movie.  We end around 8:00.
 
We do ask that you RSVP with the church office by noon on Wednesday by calling at 845-454-2960 or E-mailing at fccoffice@gmail.com.  We ask that worshipers make a donation toward the meal.  All are invited--these are meant as multi-generational events

 


November Alternative Worship Service
Wednesday, November 11th at 6:30 pm

The meal will be developed around Quiche and salad.  Uh oh, the pastor may be in the kitchen again.  Help!!

The service will be developed around a five minute French movie, titled in English, Freedom.  These are out of the box worship services.  The intention of these services is to  keep meals simple.  Following the meal, we enter into worship that involves some quiet meditation, simple singing, with the message being a movie short.  This month's film is bizarre but it leads to some interesting thoughts and conversation.

Worshipers are asked to RSVP to the church office by noon on Wednesday by calling 454-2960 or E-mailing at fccoffice@gmail.com

Donations of $7.50 per adult are requested to help cover the cost of the meal.  Children are always welcome at no charge.
