Dear Friends,
What a diligent group of young volunteers from Rutgers University, guided by Pastor Hartmut, Gary & Lauren Bernhofer, and Rod Gray, came out Saturday afternoon to work around our church.

Phew! I’m getting tired just writing it all down. Thank you! Thank you all for time and efforts. Continue reading →

Sunday Worship & Picnic Will be at HPRC due to weather

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Rev. Susan Kramer-Mills

We found out today that the Van Wickle House coordinators are very concerned about the weather on Sunday due to the arrival Hurricane Irene. It will be near New Jersey around 2 pm. But since the Van Wickle House is located near the canal and river, they are concerned about flooding and possible wind damage. Pray that it doesn’t happen!

Therefore, plans have been changed. The Highland Park Reformed Church
[off on 2nd Avenue - Parking is in the back.]
will host the special worship service and the picnic will take place in their social hall.

Worship will begin at 10 am.
Picnic will follow at 11:15 am. Please bring a dish to share. Continue reading →

Church Retreat to Warwick Center

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Rev. Dr. Hartmut Kramer-Mills

Our retreat to our Regional Synod’s center in Warwick, NY was a lot of fun. We were fourteen this year, and most of us traveled in a van organized by Lauren and Gary. It was only a retreat of one day without staying overnight.

We arrived around 11:00AM and went on a hike around the retreat center. The estate is large, and with the new St. Paul’s Prayer Chapel there are now two nice sanctuaries to pick from. After the hike, we returned to the Picnic Grove and had a lavish potluck lunch. Continue reading →
