As these photos
show, our belltower is
badly in need of repair. We have received generous donations
from the Sacred Sites Program of the New York Landmarks
Conservancy, the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Trinity
Wall Street,
and many parishioners and friends. We have half the estimated project
cost of $42,125.
At the Annual Meeting, we elected new members
of the Vestry. See the Leadership
of the church for the next term.

In the beginning
when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless
void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God
swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light";
and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God
separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and
the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was
morning, the first day.
Genesis 1:1-5 |
