PS21 Presents: Shomyo-Buddhist Ritual Chanting
Shomyo-Buddhist Ritual Chanting - Japan Society!
Annual FREE Community Thanksgiving Dinner (Delivery Only this year)
We welcome back FPC’s Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, which serves 300+ of our most vulnerable neighbors on the day of Thanksgiving. This will be served delivery only again this year for health and safety reasons (and will also be the first year in 9 years that Rev. Beilke will not be coordinating meal service on the day of Thanksgiving, so we are looking for volunteers to step into this leadership role! It is a truly an inspiring ministry to work with all the donors, volunteers, vendors, farmers, and chefs in our community that come together to care for those who are alone or in need on the holiday.)
DRIVERS AND COOKS NEEDED
TO Donate, Volunteer, or RSVP a Thanksgiving meal please email our Church Administrator Martika VanNess at FirstPresbyterianChurchHudson@gmail.com or call 518-828-4275

Hope you can join us!
GreenFaith: Walk Across the Mahicantuck (Hudson River) for Climate

Rev. Beilke will be leading a delegation from FPC, but please RSVP individually so that GreenFaith can estimate the size of the gathering. Please also bring a small drum or a tambourine, bell, signs or banners to enrich our witness!
Assemble at 3:30: two groups will assemble - one on each end of the bridge - for a brief statement of purpose (we will gather on the Hudson side)

Hope Haitian Choir performing

The children, along with their chaperones, have come to the states for a month each summer since 2012 - singing and dancing and sharing the hope of Haiti throughout the eastern US.
