Good day siblings in Christ,
There is A LOT happening in the next few weeks, so I will get right into it.
On September 30, the annual yard sale is on! Feel free to bring your workable, but used items for the sale. Please ensure they are in saleable condition, so other families can enjoy them. The sale will be upstairs this year, so we will be bringing all the items in the hallway upstairs the week of the sale. This year, the sale will be torn down on Sunday October 1, so if you can help put items away after worship, we could use your help.
October 15 is our 90th anniversary recognition and luncheon. If you plan to come to the luncheon, please RSVP through this link so we know how many will be coming. We would like to get an idea how many will be coming, so please RSVP. So far, we have almost 40 people signed up. This is very exciting. Donations to help offset the cost of the luncheon are welcomed, either through our donations page or through a Sunday contribution.
Our Saviour will be also hosting Pinecrest’s reunion and lock-in on October 7-8. They will be arriving to the church around 7:00-7:30 p.m. on Saturday and staying through worship on Sunday. I have a wonderful group of people who will help provide breakfast for the crew and when we find out how many people will be there I will spread the word. It will be great having everyone in worship that Sunday to welcome them.
Recently, antisemitism has been on the rise. I and the three other churches in Croton have been wondering how we can help. On October 29, Temple Israel of Northern Westchester will be offering a single day class for us on how to help. It runs from 4-6 p.m. with a light supper and features Prof. Ed Ginsberg. I hope members of Our Saviour will be there for this offering. There is a sign up for this, so the synagogue can know how many people will be there. The sign up is: https://www.tinw.org/event/an-interfaith-discussion-about-anti-semitism.html.
