OCTOBER 2004

LITURGICAL DANCE
Who said Presbyterian's can't dance? On October 3, an octet of gracious and graceful ladies presented an array of fresh-baked breads, indicative of God's generosity with sun and soil.

The New York City Ballet may have competition at SPAC next Summer. While Choir and congregation sang (in awe), an able eight, choreographed by June Klimash, moved with the music, connecting our left brains and right brains in a fascinating tribute to our Creator and Redeemer. Were they inspired by the Third Person of the Trinity?

STEWARDSHIP LUNCHEON

 

The Mike & Ellie Show
A perennial crowd-pleaser. This year's tongue-in-cheek edition featured Mike Attwell as a transported Texan, drawn to First Pres by our stellar website. Eleanor Rice fills in for our new secretary (see newsletter), fielding his preposterous questions.
 
More Light is not a Lager, Mike!

 
Endowment Fund
Bob Stevens presented an in-depth look at First Presbyterian's Endowment Fund. This year "living giving" is an increasingly important part of our budget.

Since rainy days can appear without warning, The Session decided to freeze next year's contribution from the Endowment at the 2004 level.

This year's Stewardship Campaign is a "relay race" of sorts, as members pass on pledge kits in door-to-door fashion.

Food For Thought
Lasagna, bread, salad and Italian cookies recharged our bodies, as our brains prepared to wrestle with numbers that represent First Presbyterian's involvement in the community, the nation, and the world.
