Raising Children who are Christian 

November 2 - 11:45am, in the Upper Room 

Our parent discussion group is back to tackle a topic on many parents’ minds: how many activities are too many for our children and how do we help set priorities? Not only do children’s extracurricular activities sometimes conflict with worship on Sundays, they can also conflict with quality family time, rest, and more. Rev. Crawford will facilitate the conversation, as parents share ideas, tips, and strategies with one another. 

"Zacchaeus was a wee little man and a wee little man was he..."

How does a tax collector become the paragon of God's kingdom? How does the unjust tax collector turn into the just and excessively generous man? How does Zacchaeus become a host for Jesus?

Luke's gospel narrows the focus—Jesus changes lives and changes worlds, perturbing the status quo and inverting the way things are into the way things ought to be. This week in worship, we revisit the classic Sunday school story of Zacchaeus the tax collector after which we will gather at the table of Jesus to be fed with grace through the sacrament of communion.

Sunday School takes place at 10:45am. Children should join their families in the sanctuary at 10:30; stay through Children’s Time before heading down to classes.

12pm in the Upper Room

Join us in the Upper Room following coffee hour on Sunday, as we conclude our study of Matthew Kaemingk and Cory B. Willson’s book, 'Work and Worship.' The book explores what it means to bring your work week into a worship space, and how honoring our day jobs lends itself to a more affirmative worship experience.

In an unforgettable image of the Reformation, Episcopal priest and author Robert Farrar Capon reminds us of the great rediscovery of grace: “The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar full of fifteen-hundred-year-old, two-hundred proof Grace–bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly."

This Sunday, as we celebrate Reformation Sunday, we will explore the gifts of God for the people of God. The Children's Choir will sing this week as well.

From early in our childhood, we learn the importance of not giving up. Whether it's learning to ride our bike or learning to tie our shoes, we are told to "keep trying." The Little Engine's refrain is engraved upon us: "I think I can; I think I can; I think I can." Yet, how many times do we feel like giving up? How do we keep trying when injustice overwhelms peace and fighting prevails over forgiveness? This week, we turn to the story of the persistent widow in Luke's gospel for a word of encouragement. The widow gives us an example to follow but along the way, we make a discovery about the perseverance of God.

Join us at the Irvington Theater for an evening with celebrated novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth as he discusses his new book, ‘Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity,’ with IPC's own Rev. Blaine Crawford. In ‘Against the Machine,’ Kingsnorth - dubbed “furiously gifted” by The Washington Post - turns his literary and philosophical talents to the crisis of modern times: resisting the encroaching force he calls the Machine. The result is a wholly original - and terrifying - account of what it will take to preserve our humanity. https://www.irvingtontheater.com/events/againstthemachine.

"One cannot serve both God and mammon." The words of Jesus Christ cut deep in our decadent society. Our closets overflow with clothes we never wear. We purchase items only to use them once before we discard them. We hustle, hustle, hustle to stay ahead and make more. About 2000 years ago, Paul charged his young protege Timothy with a different pursuit: godliness combined with contentment. What would that even look like today? In the midst of immense wealth and income inequality, how do we walk on the path that leads to godliness and contentment?

The Deacons will be hosting a Makers Market during coffee hour on September 21 to benefit the Childcare Council of Westchester. We invite you to participate by donating handmade items to sell. We already have a few great items lined up including pickles, vanilla, handmade cosmetic pouches, candles and homemade cookies. Please add to the variety! All you need to do is drop your pre-priced items on the morning of the 21st in the parlor and the Deacons will take care of the rest.

We can’t wait for everyone to share their talents!

The Christian aspires to be Christ-like. This is not a desire to become God; it is the desire to see what Jesus sees, to hear what Jesus hears, to feel what Jesus feels, and to care for whom Jesus cares for. To be Christlike is to extend God's heart for justice and compassion into our world through our actions. This week in worship, we remind ourselves we worship a God who remembers and intercedes for the poor, challenging our conceptions of who matters, what is enough, and what we should do with our money. Come and worship the God who comforts and who challenges.
