This Sunday in worship, we celebrate Trinity Sunday! Rev. Kenneth Godshall will be the guest preacher. Let us gather in the embrace of the God who creates, redeems, and makes new!

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.

Please join us on June 14th at 1pm here in the sanctuary of IPC for two free concerts that form the IPC “stop” on this year’s amazing RiverArts Music Tour. First, at 1pm hear an assortment of your talented friends from IPC, professional and volunteer, perform a variety of music from classical to pop, instrumental, organ, and choral. Then at 3pm Jon Riss will perform a recital of organ works, including pieces by Liszt and Rheinberger. In between these two concerts, the Hudson Valley Singers will perform a selection of choral works in the auditorium at 2pm. Hope to see you there!

A Habitat ‘Build Day’ is a great opportunity to live our faith serving the community and to do it with a fun group of guys makes it even better. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome! Please notify Rev. Crawford of your participation in order to coordinate carpools. All volunteers must register for this event in advance, which you may do here.

The Church Picnic will be taking place after worship next Sunday, June 8th. The fellowship committee invites you to join us in celebrating the end of the year with delicious food and friendship!

The Spirit of God comes down on all flesh is an incredible and holy statement. The living God, Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, now lives in and among humans. This holy habitation is not limited to the most spiritual and holiest among human beings. The Spirit of God comes down on all flesh. The gospel, once again, is grace all the way through.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and we will celebrate five baptisms! 

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.

It's field trip season! And why should kids have all the fun? IPC will be taking a field trip to a new art exhibition in Manhattan, at Ross + Kramer Gallery (515 W 27th Street, New York, NY).

Exploring faith through art, Devon DeJardin's exhibition, 'Of Dust and Breath,' at Ross + Kramer Gallery opened last month. DeJardin’s study of world religion and spiritual traditions informs much of his artistic practice. With 'Of Dust and Breath,' the artist turns his focus toward beginnings, reflecting on concepts of creation, divine intention, and human transgression. The exhibition's title refers to the biblical notion that humanity was formed from the dust (or clay) of the earth and given life through the breath of spirit.

We will plan to meet at Irvington Presbyterian at 3pm (carpools will be coordinated). You are also welcome to meet at the gallery at 4pm. Dinner in the city will also be planned for those who wish to extend their time together. Please contact Rev. Crawford if you are interested in attending.

"And a little child shall lead them." ~ Isaiah 11:6

There is no Sunday School this week. Nursery care provided for children 4 and under.

This Sunday, Ruling Elder Reuben Garcia will serve as guest preacher. Join us as we listen for God's Word and experience God's presence.

The Copernican Revolution upended long-held theories and understandings about the universe. The universe was not centered around the earth but around the sun. Likewise, Peter's Revolution in Joppa upended long-held beliefs and boundaries regarding Jews and Gentiles. After Peter's vision, the people of God expanded, to not only include Jews but also Gentiles. Peter would never be the same. The church would never be the same. Its understanding of the world had undergone its own Copernican Revolution.

New members will be welcomed into the fellowship of the church.

Will Willimon writes, "Death is the great boundary of life and, in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, God is the great boundary of death. Death limits life, but on Easter God limited death."

This week, in the sermon series, ‘The Great Exchange’, we find the apostles caught up in resurrection ministry, bringing Tabitha back to life. The resurrection of Jesus continues in our lives. Having death exchanged for life in Jesus, what will we do with the new life given to us? Return to our fishing boats? Or follow after the mysterious life-giving Spirit of Jesus?

The most famous of all conversion stories in the Bible happens on the road to Damascus. Saul, a violent opponent of early Christianity, encounters Christ, changing the trajectory of his life and the early church's future. Saul the persecutor becomes Paul the apostle to the Gentiles. Rev. Crawford continues his sermon series, "The Great Exchange: How the Resurrection of Jesus Finds Us and Changes Us." The Lord's Supper will be celebrated.

We celebrate the Lord's Supper in worship this week. Children should gather in the Chapel at 10:30am (parents welcome to stay), before joining the Congregation for Communion in the Sanctuary. There is no Sunday School this week.

"Jesus is Lord!" Fresh off Jesus' victory over death, we hear the early disciples confidently and not-so-confidently confessing Jesus as Lord. What did it mean then? And what does it mean now? To believe Jesus as Lord is to submit oneself to a greater authority, which sound rather odd to our modern ears. Come and discover the freedom and faith in bending our wills to God's.

Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!

The events of Jesus' life chronicled during Holy Week culminate in his resurrection on Easter morn! Gather with us for a joyful, hope-filled worship service as we discover peace together in God's new creation!

Holy Week begins with songs raised, palms waved, joy awakened (and for us, the Children's Choir voices)! Jesus enters Jerusalem to acclamation. We follow him in hope, knowing that in the days ahead, Jesus will lead us through the darkness of sin and death to the light and joy of his resurrection. Let us take up our cross and follow him!

The story of the Prodigal Son is one of the most beloved and memorable in all of Scripture. Whether we hear the story from the perspective of the prodigal who has squandered his inheritance or from the point of view of the envious brother or through the prism of the father's heart, the meanings resonate with new insights, healing, and life. As we continue our Lenten journey through the virtues, we find ourselves immersed again in the story of God's great love.
