Scaffolding is removed as sanctuary prepares to close to make repairs
An entire section of pews on the left side of the altar is closed even as scaffolding is removed to make repairs on the roof. The historic balcony of the New Utrecht Reformed Church sanctuary is also closed. Very soon the sanctuary itself will also close; services will then be held in the Parish House. Please pray for its restoration. A special consistory meeting, concerning the condition of the roof, took place on Wednesday evening, October 15th. Damage is worse than previously known. Please keep the sanctuary in your prayers.

Our organ needs repair
Please note that in addition to our sanctuary and bell tower needing repairs, our organ, installed in 1948, also needs repair. That is why our organist is at the piano these days. Please pray for its restoration.

Please help the day laborers by buttering rolls
The next tentatively scheduled roll buttering will take place on Sunday, November 30th after service. The buttering rolls, to help the day laborers in Bensonhurst, takes place every other Sunday at the Parish House and is a joint project with Bay Ridge United Church.

Pray for...
Anna Schroeder and Rocco Armacida, both of whom are in the hospital.
