The entire 2018 Harvest Festival Outreach weekend will be a time of celebration as we reflect on the 93 years of our gracious relationship with the boroughs of Hawthorne and Wyckoff. We welcome as our special guests the First Responders and their families that have so willingly and unselfishly served our congregation. Please sign up this Sunday to volunteer, or call the church office to be a part of this exciting weekend and help us say thank you to our Police, Fire, and EMS workers.
