Good day siblings in Christ,
Following this Sunday’s service for the week of March 2 through 8, I will be taking a vacation week. I had the opportunity to invite my friend Rev. Lena Warren on March 8, so I decided to take full advantage of the week.
On March 8, Our Saviour will also be celebrating women! The Council has invited all people to wear purple, green, or white (or all three) to honor International Women’s Day. We will also have a guest pastor on that day in Pastor Lena Warren. Croton Caring will host coffee hour on that day. It will be a wonderful day.
Metro NY Synod is hosting an event for women on March 14 at Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. All women are invited to this day long event. Register here- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mnys-womens-event-tickets-1982297678719?aff=oddtdtcreator
One of the events I have worked on for the Village is to bring Dr Annie Kleinhaus to give a first person account of the holocaust. If you are interested in coming, you must sign up as indicated below. This is the last week to sign up as the event is on Saturday the 7. This is a once in a lifetime event, so I hope you can make it.
Pastor Johnson
A Personal History by Holocaust Survivor, Dr. Annie Kleinhaus
Saturday, March 7 at 4:00-5:30 p.m. This special speaker event is brought to Croton as a collaboration of Cathy Deutchman, Khamla Erskine, Michelle Minoff, Pastor Justin Johnson, Rabbi Polish and Mayor Brian Pugh.
Annie Kleinhaus will share her personal account of survival during the Holocaust and beyond to lead a powerful, and in many ways, ground-breaking life. This is an opportunity to hear the lived experience of a Holocaust survivor, in a time of rising antisemitism in the US. What can we learn from history to improve our collective future? After her presentation, there will be time allotted for Q & A and discussion.Registration is required. Please RSVP here to let us know you’d like to attend or with regrets.
Location details (in Croton) will be sent out to registered attendees closer to the event date.
