Our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Please join us for pancakes with all the fixin’s as we celebrate Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) at St. Sacrement with this Pre-Lenten tradition. Bring the kids and family as the food and fun and fellowship is free!
Lenten Coffee Hour Forums on the Evolving Words of Worship
Upstairs in the Parish House following church on Sunday, February 22, March 1, March 8, March 15, and March 22. It is hoped and anticipated that we will also be serving soup at these gatherings.
It has been claimed that God is continually and invisibly “becoming” in our understanding, growing out of our old images for the Divine and blossoming into new ones. History provides ample evidence for this claim. During Lent our Coffee Hour Forums will consider and converse about how this “becoming” has continually shaped and rehaped the words we use in worship. To help facilitate this, Sunday by Sunday, we will use different settings of the Eucharistic to take us from where we’ve been, through where we are, and where we might be going next.
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 efforts spearheaded by Linda Bennett, our application materials have all been accepted for consideration 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.

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Project
Thank you to all who supported the Operation Child Project annually conducted through Samaritan’s Purse. We are particularly grateful to the efforts of Vicky O’Donnell who assumed leadership for this among us.
Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Project is a ministry with a long history at St. Sacrement. Shoeboxes, made available for distribution to children in families of limited means, are filled to meet a particular child’s desire come Christmas. Boxes get returned to the church in mid-November for holiday distribution.
