Join us this Sunday for A Very Mixed Up Christmas Pageant.

Synopsis: “What if kids showed up to perform a traditional Christmas Pageant...in their Halloween costumes?! That's what happens in this contemporary spin on a traditional nativity play. It's up to their youth director to improvise her way through the story of Jesus' birth in a hilarious and heartfelt way that connects biblical figures with modern day superheroes, villains, and more. In the end, everyone learns that perhaps being a little bit ‘mixed-up’ is something we can all rejoice in.”

Please join us as we celebrate Christmas in a very "mixed-up" way! 

There will be no Sunday School this week.

What do you really hope for? This question is more than mental exercise, for we act in accordance with our hope. Advent is the time in the cycle of the church year for us to re-examine and reawaken our hopes, and in so doing, re-enliven and re-animate our actions. Join us in worship as we reflect on our shared hope for the world in Jesus Christ. Communion will be celebrated. 

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.

Not Your Child’s Role Model (but important enough to have a building named after him) 

In 1964, Irvington Presbyterian Church completed its construction of its Education Building, naming it after the famous Scottish preacher, John Knox. Who was this man? Why name a building after him on the other side of the pond? Why name a building after someone whom you might not want to be your child’s role model? Come and learn more in this class taught by Rev. Crawford.

"The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it; the world and all who live in it." - Psalm 24:1

We are but actors in God's theater of glory. God has abundantly blessed each of us through creation and redemption. How shall we live in light of such grace and generosity? One of the metaphors we find in Scripture is that of a steward, a caretaker of an estate or household that is owned by another. God has given us so much—nature, church, family, friends, our very lives—and asked us to serve faithfully and compassionately as stewards as we care for and cultivate these gifts. This week, we will launch our stewardship campaign but worship will be about so much more—not just sharing our money with the church but sharing our gifts and our lives with God's world. 

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.

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.

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.
