Come to the Table is returning to the Stony Point Center on Nov. 8 & 9. As we gather together to pray, to learn, to sing, to worship, and to enjoy the gifts of our shared community of the Northeast, our prayer is that we will feel a deeper connection to our call to experience unity in diversity. Featured speakers include our own Cindy Kohlman, as well as Liz Theoharis, co-chair of The Poor People's Campaign. Click here to register.

This year the 2019 Young Ministry Leaders Gathering is joining with Come to the Table. The YML gathering will take place before Come to the Table begins, on Nov. 7 & 8, and will lead into the gathering of the larger Synod community. The Young Ministry Leaders Initiative of the Synod of the Northeast is an endeavor to create space and community for people in their 20s and 30s serving in an ongoing leadership capacity (paid or volunteer) to a ministry setting in our region connected to the PC(USA). Click here to register for the gathering.
Home Is Where The Heart Is

Join us at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October 20, from 3-5 pm for a musical celebration. Tickets are $15, which includes entry into a quilt raffle, and will support affordable home ownership.
