OUTREACH:   Coming up: Advent gift collection for children of incarcerated or recently released persons. Last day for toys (unwrapped): December 7. We also continue to collect shelf-stable food for our hungry neighbors year-round, with 24/7 drop-off in the Chapel. From Mother's Day to Father's Day we hold a collection for North Porch moms & babies. Our Outreach Committee research local organizations and recommend financial grants from Atonement. See our Outreach page.

 

LABYRINTH - The Labyrinth located on the front lawn (with patio and bench) is OPEN weather permitting, all year round.    Walk the labyrinth at any time.  Brochures have also been prepared with information and suggested meditations, and are available inside (and occasionally on the bench outside.)  

 

REFRESHMENTS:   Every Sunday church members volunteer to offer refreshments after the 9:55 am service.  It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with those we know.  

SMALL GROUPS for spiritual growth and fellowship are detailed on our Adult Ministries page.  Join us for Discovery Nights (next: January), Bible Study (selected first and third Thursday evenings; next:  November 6 and 20 - book of Amos), Book Group (Friday mornings), Quiet Days/Mini Retreats (a few Saturdays each year, next one on October 25), and the annual fall Adult Education Retreat at Holy Cross Monastery - Episcopal in West Park, NY (next: September 12-14, 2025).  See the adult formation page for more details including times and topics.

 

DURING THE CHURCH YEAR, Atonement holds a number of opportunities to gather and get to know each other better, such as:  The Country Fair in the fall, Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper in the winter, the Parish Soup Supper during Lent, the Newcomers’ Brunch, the Annual Giving Breakfast in the fall and the Annual Meeting Breakfast in the spring, and Outreach activities such as "Snack Packs" for hungry kids.

“Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread

and in the prayers?”  “I will with God’s help.”
