Faithworks



This Sunday will be the last
Faithworks class until the fall. Thanks to all the students, assistant teachers
During hospitality that day the class will celebrate with Sundae Sunday,
serving make your own sundaes to the congregation.  Children in Faithworks have raised funds for
chicks, honeybees, ducks and a goat. They will now decide which animals to
purchase next. All of these animals are given by Heifer International to
families worldwide to enable them to support themselves. Families who are given
animals are expected to also donate an animal to another family so that the
program can benefit many people and make a difference in their lives.



 



From
The Deacons



The Board of Deacons has provided a
rack of pamphlets for everyone.  They can
be found in the Narthex.  Please take a
look at them as you go by.  We come to
different times in our life when we don’t have the answers to our concerned
thoughts and situations so some pastoral booklets have been provided to try and
give you some assistance.  Please make
use of them for yourselves and family

Outreach
Bus Trip



On Saturday, June 8th,
the Outreach Ministry will be hosting a mini bus trip to Paterson to become
better acquainted with the programs High Mountain Presbyterian Church supports.
The bus









 

will leave the church at 9:00 am and
return at approximately 12:30 pm.



 

We will be visiting the Iglesia
Presbiteriana Church in Paterson, which this year is celebrating the two
hundredth anniversary of its church.  We
recently partnered with this congregation to serve a meal to one hundred people
in need from the Paterson community. At Iglesia we will learn the story of this
historic congregation, the home of one of the earliest Sunday Schools in the
country, as well as hear about its current ministries.



 

Paterson Habitat for Humanity will
also be on our tour. Barbara Dunn, Executive Director, will join our bus tour
to show us the many homes that have been built by Habitat in Paterson in the
past twenty years, as well as inform us of the current work of this
organization



 

Our bus will be provided by the
Wyckoff Family Y, which has a Day Care Center at High Mountain and is planning
many other programs at our site in Franklin Lakes. Seating is limited and space
will be provided on a first come first served basis to members and friends of
HMPC. Please sign up in the Narthex as soon as possible to reserve a place. If
you sign up and cannot come at the last minute, you must let us know so that
someone else can join us. 



 

We are planning other trips in the
future so all can become better informed about the ministries in the area that
we support. If you have any questions, please see any member of the Outreach
Ministry Team:



 

Barbara Fernstrom, Lois Gassman,
Anne Jadick, Alice Luddington Cantor, Michele Palermo
