Here's what's happening this week...

THIS SUNDAY: MISSION IN MADAGASCAR
On Sunday we will be joined in worship by Elizabeth and Dan Turk, our PC(USA) Mission Co-Workers in Madagascar. Dan and Elizabeth work as advisors to the PC(USA)'s partner church, FJKM, in the fields of environment and health, respectively. Dan works with FJKM to help people improve their lives while living more in harmony with creation. Elizabeth helps the staff of FJKM health department design and implement a community health program. Following worship, the Turks will offer a slide show presentation appropriate for all ages in the conference room. 

YOUTH GROUP
The youth group meets again this Sunday evening at 6:00 for recreation, conversation and prayer. 
 

 
INSTALLATION OF THE REV. PETER JONES
Ruling Elder Leslie Mardenborough, Moderator of the Hudson River Presbytery, and Pastor Jeff will be participating in the Installation Service of the Rev. Pete Jones to our near neighbor, the Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale on Sunday afternoon at 4:00. As we do much in mission with the Hitchcock congregation (the Thrift Shop, ESL, Midnight Run), those interested in attending will be more than welcomed.

THE MIDNIGHT RUN IS LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AWAY - APRIL 30, 9 PM
This past Sunday, Susan de George and Kathy Dean shared powerful stories about their experiences with Midnight Run (or should we call it the "nine-o-clock and home-by-one" run? Many were inspired to sign up to either provide food or t drive it into Manhattan. But we still need a few donations. A complete list of what is needed, and how you can help, is available HERE (scroll to the bottom). You can sign up on the Mission Board outside the library, or email Kathy Dean and ask how you can help.

CONGRATULATIONS TO AUGUST GEARY
April is National Volunteer Month and Greenburgh Nature Center has proudly featuring August as one of their "star volunteers"
 

"His family symbolically adopted one of our goats last year and August has been volunteering to help care for all of our barn animals ever since. He helps feed, groom, and care for them with heartfelt enthusiasm. August has a particular interest in our goats, Linden and Locust, and was proud to make them subjects of his science project. He learned about how to tell if your goats are healthy and even answers questions that our guests have! We asked him why he likes to volunteer at Greenburgh Nature Center and he said, 'Because I get to be with my best friends: the goats.'"
