Perhaps my favorite book is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I read it
about once a year. Fitzgerald was a wonderful writer and his prose can and does stand the
test of multiple readings. Besides the beauty of the writing I have always appreciated the
tragic message that is woven into the story from the very first moment and is succinctly

What, exactly, are you asking me to do?
We realize there are many newer members who would
love to help, only they are not sure what each function
entails. So, following is a brief description of the various
ways to be part of our Worship Support Team.
During worship, count the number of people present
and record in register book (under cushion in last
pew). Collect offering, pulling out any prayer cards
that may have been placed in the plate. Hand these
to the Pastor and give collection plates to the liturgist for prayer of dedication.
(On weeks when Communion is served, you will
join your co-usher and two others (either Elders or
Deacons) in serving the elements).
After worship put out candles. Take plates to the
study and record the collection, then place it in the
bank bag and return plates and money to the safe.
Turn off the sound system. Lock the front door and
side entrance door.
LITURGIST
Arrive about fifteen minutes before the service to
briefly preview the service with the pastor. The task
is to assist the pastor in worship by leading the congregation in the prayer of confession, reading the
Scripture(s) and saying the prayer of dedication.
You may either say your own prayer or have one
provided for you. Pause briefly before and after
speaking, and introduce and close each reading of
Scripture. After the service, greet people at the Pastor’s study door and invite them to coffee hour.

March 21 Morning Midnight Run
Sunday morning March 21 we will be going into the city to help the homeless of New York City. We need all
kinds of help. We need people to arrive early between 6 and 6:30 to make pancakes and prepare all the food
that we will take in to the city. At around 7 AM we need more people to load up the vehicles. We need about
ten people to go into the city with us and maybe four cars. If you can’t get up with us early on Sunday you can
help us by buying toiletries (preferably the small containers) and leaving them at church before the day. Or
you could fry up some bacon or sausage, make fruit salad, buy orange juice, buy milk, buy coffee and bring
the item by before the 21st. We also need people to clean up when all of this is done. It is a big effort but it is
also very rewarding. We do feed about sixty people one day but, more than that, we connect with them. There
is a wonderful connection between all human beings and it is true for us and those who we will feed. This
event is always a blessing for all involved. Please contact Tim (914-645-1482) or Tricia Wolff (941-3565) if
you want to participate.
Alexander Technique Short Course
The contemporary German author, Tolle,
discusses his religious experience of gaining access
to the spiritual world in his two popular books. He
adheres to the principal that access to the spiritual
world is gained through the physical body.
God sent us His Son in the flesh to guide us.
As Presbyterians we believe that our congregation
acts ―as a body‖ and in worship we each take the
elements of communion as symbols of ―the body of
Christ‖.
Many of us think that our bodies ―betray‖ us
when, at times, it is we who do not personally understand enough about our physical design to realize
the fallaciousness of this thinking.
Join us as we explore the findings of F.M.
Alexander and how the use of this technique can
benefit each of us. Learning how to change habitual
response patterns and developing better understanding of how to use our magnificent physical design
will be our focus.

also be brought at other times and left in

Excerpts from an article by Donna Morjikian
A DOUBLE LIFE
It’s been apparent to me for some time that I
have to function with two calendars: one secular, one
sacred. My secular one begins in January and ends in
December. It is divided into twelve months which
have anywhere from 28 to 31 days. It records all
birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, social engagements and vacation days. And it hangs on the bulletin
board over my kitchen desk.
My other calendar, the sacred one, hangs in
my heart. It’s framework is not daily; it is seasonal. It
is the Christian calendar, and its pattern is quite clear.
The year falls into two parts and each half has a
theme and a movement of its own.
The first half emphasizes the revelation of
God to man. It begins with Advent and the Incarnation of Christ and moves through Lent and Easter to
Pentecost, when three thousand souls accepted the
faith as the Holy Spirit descended and tongues of fire
sat on every head. It continues through Trinity Sunday. Its color is red, the color of blood and fire…...
The season of Epiphany begins on January 6
and runs to Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent….a
good time to emphasize Christian missions….its liturgical color is green.
The period of Lent covers the six Sundays before Easter. Of all the seasons, this is the most solemn
and the most observed. It is a time ...of penitence and
of meditation on the life, teachings, trials and sufferings of Christ. In nearly all churches today it is a time
of self-examination and spiritual renewal. Its color is
purple.
Easter commemorates the Resurrection of our
Lord. It was the earliest festival in the Christian calendar, and it is the most important. The birth of Christ
was good news, but the death and Resurrection of
Christ are the cornerstones of the faith. Easter is a
moveable feast and no fixed date has been assigned to
it. Easter is observed on the first Sunday after the full
moon following the vernal equinox. The liturgical
color of the day is white, the sign of joy and purity.
Eastertide is the season from Easter to Pentecost; it
lasts fifty days and its color is also white.
The last half of the Christian calendar, from
Pentecost to Advent...It has no high days... On these
days the church devotes itself to instruction of the
Christian. It strives to fit him to respond to God’s
grace….
We are under no compulsion to use the calendar. We
have the freedom to choose. That freedom should encourage us to choose the best.
HOLY WEEK
This year as all years Holy Week will begins on Palm Sunday March 28th.
Palm Sunday will include elements of triumph recalling Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem but will also anticipate the Passion of the coming week. Palm Sunday
will also include the baptism of Briton Ryan son of two of our newest members Katherine and Briton Ryan. This year we will gather on Good Friday at
8 PM for a solemn service recalling the death of Jesus. Then on Sunday we
will celebrate the wonders of wonders so integral to our Christian faith: the
Resurrection.
