THE BIBLICAL IMAGES OF GOD - OUR COFFEE HOUR CONVERSATIONAL FORUMS
Amplified Notes on all our Coffee Hour Forums may be found on the Episcopal 101 Link to the right.
During the Summer of 2026 we investigated a selected handful of the various metaphorical images that the Bible uses to speak of God (In fact, Jewish mysticism claims that a different image for God can be found in every Hebraic letter of the scripture). These forums considered how these images may have originally developed and why they held meaning - not only for their own time but for subsequent generations including our own.
Amplified notes of these sessions may be found here:
The Annual Parish Meeting
Sunday, October 18 in the Parish Hall at Coffee Hour Following the 10 am Sunday Service
Every year at our Annual Meeting we gather to receive reports on what we have accomplished in the last year and what we anticipate moving toward in the future. We also raise up by election leadership on the Vestry and Diocesan Representatives. All individual reports should be submitted to Leona French by Sunday, October 11 for inclusion in a single written report for distribution on the morning of the Meeting.
Please consider donating some of the following items as they are always welcome to assure availability of good nutritional products and necessary hygienic items:
Pantry staples and non-perishable food items like canned fruits and vegetables, canned proteins like tuna or chicken, peanut butter, pasta, rice, and a variety of cereals.
Shelf-stable products such as bottled juices, individual oatmeal packets, and granola bars.
Personal care products and toiletries such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine hygiene products. These are often-overlooked necessities vital for both personal dignity and hygiene.
Baby essentials such as baby food, formula, diapers, and baby wipes. These donations always directly alleviate significant financial burdens for parents.
Our donations – even small ones - help provide nourishment, comfort, and hope to our neighbors.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions. Items may be brought to St. Sacrement church and we will assure that they get delivered to the Food Pantry. Thank you!
The Bolton Community Food Pantry
Operating out of the Bolton Community Church stands as a testament to what we can achieve when we come together. As we approach the holidays, in light of recent government cutbacks which are being exasperated by the current government shutdown, many of our immediate neighbors are really struggling to even provide basic necessities for themselves and their families. We can help.
Thanks to the efforts spearheaded by Linda Bennett, the Church of St. Sacrement has been recognized on the Registry of Historic Landmarks (including recognition on the New York State Registry of Historic Landmarks). Recognition is not only a celebration and honor for our church proper, it also is a act of good stewardship as it assures future generations unique opportunities to seek grants helping to preserve the beauty and integrity of our much beloved church. Special thanks to Deanne Rehm for the time and effort she also put in to acheive this honor.
