Selection of the next book is under discussion. Please plan to join us, everyone is welcome.

Suggestions for future study are welcome.

Food Collection
Food is now being collected in baskets located at the entrances to the church. You can bring in your food on any Sunday (or any day you pass through the doors of RPC). We would appreciate canned meats, fruits and vegetables and boxed items for nonbreakable transport. Thank you for all your support with this program. You can participate in the KRMH Food Project which distributes food to the less fortunate by bringing in food and/or helping to pack on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the Church of the Mediator on 231st Street.

Midnight Run
The Youth Ministry Council leads the Midnight Run. Please continue to clean out your closets, open your heart, and make plans to help us provide another day of spiritual comfort and material nourishment to the needy midtown homeless community. Our mission has just begun! The Midnight Run organization has it's own web site. Check it out. The link will open in a new window, so when you're ready to return to the RPC site, just close the window.

Have you made your flower dedication this year?
Please call the Church Office for details. We are always taking flower dedications. Many thanks to all who have donated flowers this past year. We ask that all members and friends contribute at least once a year to help defray the cost of flowers to the church. The cost of a donation is $35. Dedications can be made in memory of someone, in honor of a special friend or family member, or just as a special gift to RPC.

"For the Beauty of the ...Parkway!" Help Wanted!:
The Riverdale Nature Preservancy is forming a Task Force of all the neighbors on the Henry Hudson Parkway to support and plan ways to preserve and beautify "our street"---Parkway. We, like others who are on the Parkway, have been invited to take part in this work which so directly affects our congregation. Would you like to represent us in this interesting, neighborly, beautifying work? See Rob Lynch (President of the Preservancy), or call the church office.
