SUMMARY:Sunday Worship - Palm Sunday
DESCRIPTION:“I love a parade\, the tramping of feet\, I love every beat I hear of a drum. I love a parade\, when I hear a band I just want to stand and cheer as they come.” \nHow many of you love parades? As a child\, I remember the excitement I felt every Fourth of July in my home town. Each year\, people would come from all over to celebrate our nation’s independence with bands\, fire trucks\, military vehicles\, and local groups. Afterwards\, everyone gathered in the town park to enjoy food and games. It was a great day to be a kid! \nThis Sunday\, as we celebrate the beginning of Holy Week\, we will hear about a different kind of parade celebrating a very different kind of freedom. Jesus’ march into Jerusalem wasn’t accompanied by trucks or bands or displays of military might\, and yet the crowds couldn’t help but shout their cheers of “hosanna.” \nWhat are we to make of Jesus’ parade of sorts? What was he marching for? What was he marching towards? Join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we sing our “hosannas” and join Jesus in his Peace March into our lives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard the joke about the driver who was arrested under suspicion of driving a stolen car? It seemed the driver was tailgating another car\, which stopped at a yellow light at an intersection. Incensed that the driver of the other car didn’t run the light\, they started to honk the horn and hurl all sorts of curses and insults at them. When asked why the officer arrested them\, the officer replied\, “when I saw you acting the way you did and then saw the ‘honk if you love Jesus’ and ‘follow me to Sunday school’ bumper stickers and the chrome plated Christian fish symbol on the back of the car\, I could only assume that the car must have been stolen.” \nMost of us in one way or another try to portray a certain image of ourselves. Some of us want to act younger than we are\, some wealthier\, others more popular or successful\, and\, yes\, some more perfect in our faith. But what happens when our outward appearances have little resemblance to our inner hearts? How do we align our exterior and interior lives? And why is Jesus so interested in the inner workings of our souls? Isn’t good action good enough? \nJoin us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we continue our Lenten journey of Making the Road by Walking through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Our worship service will be available online or in person. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available.

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship starts at 10 am. More information regarding this service to follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you aspire to in life? What does a life well lived look like? How do you define success? To be sure\, each person answers these questions in their own unique ways\, but the “American Dream” offers some common ideas about how we might respond. \nFor decades\, the good life has been portrayed as having a home on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood with two cars; a healthy family with children who hope to do better than their parents; a job with upward mobility\, stability\, and a paycheck that can meet the family’s needs. The recently opened “American Dream” mall in Secaucus would have us believe that the good life is all about entertainment\, food\, and shopping to your heart’s content. \nBut what about Jesus? How does Jesus define the good life? Where does our Lord want us to be setting our sights? As we begin the season of Lent\, we invite you to join Jesus and his followers on a hillside in Galilee and listen in on his description of what it means to be blessed. I have a feeling most of us will have A New Identity to aspire to! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available.

SUMMARY:Joint Service at the Presbyterian Church on Main St.
DESCRIPTION:The season of Lent begins this Wednesday with the observance of Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is in many ways a reality check that affirms our mortality and need for God. With this sense of reality in place in our minds\, the season of Lent becomes an opportunity to draw closer to God and deeper in the practices of our faith. \nWe will offer three opportunities to receive ashes. From 6-8a\, Pastor Dave will be at the Dunkin’ on Hope Road by exit 12 offering “Ashes to Go”. At 12p we will offer a joint traditional worship service in our sanctuary. And at 7p we will participate in the joint service at the Presbyterian Church on Main St. Both services will be shared online. \nFor those unable to join us in person\, we invite you to join us online with a candle\, and small amount of dirt that can represent “dust to dust”.

SUMMARY:Red Bird Information 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Red Bird Mission is a place where lives are changed. The lives of the residents are changed when volunteers show up to fix what’s broken or make improvements to their living situation. And the lives of the volunteers are changed when they see how their presence and willingness to serve can have such a huge impact on others. \nThis year’s trip to the Red Bird Mission will take place from July 16-22\, and we want you to be a part of the team! The trip is open to everyone 14 and over. Registrations and deposits are due by March 15. \nPastor Dave will host an information session on February 20 at 11:30 to answer your questions and begin to make plans for this year. You can attend online or in person. We hope to see you there! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Online
