Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website!
Here you will find information concerning our church and its ministries. We hope you find your time spent here a blessing. Our church is a warm and loving church, and we want you to feel comfortable and at liberty to call on us for anything you need. If you are considering a new place of worship or a relocation to our area, we would love to have you be our guest.
When you visit our church, you will find:
- A caring congregation that will gladly welcome you
- All of the grace and none of the guilt
- Preaching that is centered on the Word of God, not politics
- Ministries to meet the spiritual needs of every age
- A lively and growing Godly Play Sunday School
- Church services with and without music
Service times are every Sunday at 8am (no music) and 10am (with music) except if advertised on special occasions as one combined 9am service.
The task of the church is to "cultivate a people who can risk being peaceful in a violent world, risk being kind in a competetive society, risk being faithful in an age of cynicism, risk being gentle amoung those who admire the tough, risk love when it may not be returned, because we have the confidence that in Christ we have been reborn into a new reality" - Stanley Hauerwas.

Announcements
No services or Thanksgiving Day Holy Eucharist
2020 has been a challenge, and now the church has no heat, so we are unable to offer services while it is too cold. A new boiler is being installed, and services will resume inside (with social distancing etc) in the toasty warm December 6th 2020.
Thanksgiving services are therefore also cancelled - but please stay safe and enjoy our reflections on this website from home until then.
2021 Stewardship Campaign
The 2021 pledge campaign began 11/8 and ends on 12/19. Our goal is to reach 38K as well as recruit volunteers to serve the parish.
For our current progress, please see the progress bar on the left.
Completed pledge forms should be mailed to Pat Gant at 33 Aspinwall Road, Red Hook, NY 12571 or placed in the collection basket when services resume. Anyone who needs a pledge form should contact Ed Wilbeck at 876-7306.
VOLUNTEER? (Please)
The vestry has two vestry-person openings for three year commitments, plus a clerk and a treasurer.
The Thrift Shop is always in need of any volunteers.
