Ash Wednesday Soup Supper and Lenten Meditations
Wednesday February 22 is Ash Wednesday. This year at 6:30 the church community will be gathering for a light supper of soup, salad and bread. We will meet at 6:30 for the meal and then from 7:00 to 7:30 Pastor Lou will lead us in a time of reflection and sharing on the theme, "Listening to Jesus on the Road to Jerusalem." This gathering event will continue for the weeks of Lent each week for the seven weeks leading up to Palm Sunday. Come for every one of the nights or come for some of them. You are invited to bring a sample of soup you like or bread or a salad to share. If you are coming right from work, just come and bring yourself, there will be plenty of food to share.
Pastor Lou.
Pastor Lou to Receive William E. Boyce Humanitarian Award
It is a great pleasure to inform you that Pastor Lou Kilgore has been selected as one of the recipients of the Wyckoff Family YMCA's Ninth Annual William E, Boyce Humanitarian Award.
This year's award honors individuals who strive to be "Goodwill Ambassadors". The award is names for Bill Boyce, the Y's unsurpassed friend, mentor, and supporter who is remembered as a true humanitarian. He exemplified a life dedicated to serving his fellow human beings over a lifetime, and it is only fitting that this award be given in his honor.
The Award committee has selected to honor Reverend Louis Kilgore in recognition and appreciation of his dedication to the Presbyterian Church in Franklin Lakes and its surrounding communities. He has a gift for engaging people in the faith community and beyond by establishing an environment that is welcoming to all. His gift of meeting people where they are is made evident through his strong history of disaster relief leadership efforts in Somerset County. His continued work at the Presbyterian Church has brought together a congregation as well as a community.
The YMCA will recognize Pastor Kilgore at a "Friends of the Y" dinner on Wednesday, April 25,2012 at 6:30 at the Wyckoff Family YMCA. Invitations and formal announcements will follow.
This announcement was shared with us by Joyce K. Vottero, Executive Director of the YMCA
