We are sorry to report that out of concern for the safety of our congregants and staff, tomorrow’s regular 10 a.m. worship service has been cancelled because of inclement weather and the likelihood of dangerous road conditions. Please join us as usual next Sunday, February 16, at 10 a.m. for worship, followed by a time of fellowship featuring “the best cup of coffee in Sag Harbor.” Meanwhile, please stay warm and safe!

This Sunday, Oct. 27, we will remember the members of our congregation, community, families and friends that we have lost this year by reading each name aloud as a candle is lit. Pastor Nancy Remkus’s sermon will focus on how challenges in our lives may help make us stronger, as in the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which uses gold to put broken pieces of pottery back together to create stronger and more beautiful pieces of art. Likewise, in healing ourselves, sometimes we may create something new, unique and even more resilient. All are welcome to join us at 10 a.m. for the service of remembrance and the time of fellowship that follows.

This Sunday, October 20, guest minister Rev. Michel Engu Dobbs will speak about “Purifying our Hearts.” Rev. Nancy Remkus will co-celebrate the service.
Born in Paris and raised in New York City, Rev. Dobbs, with his family, moved to Sag Harbor 30 years ago. He continued practicing and studying Zen, taking up practice with Peter Matthiessen - Muryo Roshi. He was ordained in September 2001 and among other activities has taught meditation to inmates at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead and co-facilitated annual Bearing Witness retreats with Lakota elders in South Dakota and Wyoming. Everyone is welcome to join us for this wonderful heart-opening service and a time of fellowship afterward.
The service begins at 10 a.m. at 44 Union Street, Sag Harbor.

SUNDAY SCHOOL will meet on Oct. 13. All children are welcome! After the 10 a.m. worship service, Rev. Nancy Remkus will conduct a special service on the lawn at 11:30 to bless all pets.
Collection of the annual offering for Peace & Global Witness has been extended through Sunday. A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the PC(USA) to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. Individual congregations retain 25% of this offering and are encouraged to use it for mission efforts in their own communities. Presbyteries and Synods retain an additional 25% (combined) for ministries of peace and reconciliation. The remaining 50% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness. If you don’t see the special envelopes in your pew, look for them on the table in the narthex and downstairs at coffee hour and return them to any Elder or member of the finance committee.

Sunday, October 6, is World Communion Sunday, Rev. Nancy Jennings preaching at the 10 a.m. worship service. This day celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world. It is also, appropriately, when we receive the annual Peace and Global Witness Offering as a way of continuing the ancient Christian practice of sharing what we have with brothers and sisters in need. This special offering enables the church, through the Presbyterian Mission Agency, to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. Our church will retain 25% of what we take in to support our own local missions, including maintaining spaces in the building that house a number of community service groups. All are welcome to join in worship this and every Sunday at historic Old Whalers’ Church, and for the time of fellowship that follows.
