25th Anniversary of Faith Church

PastorBert2

Faith Church celebrated her 25th Anniversary during a special service on Sunday, June 9. The theme for the day was “Let it Shine.” Pastor Albert preached on Jesus’ statement, “I am the light of the world,” and shared with the congregation that Jesus wants to be the light of their world, and Jesus also wants them to be a light to the world.


Fran Bidoglio’s 100th Birthday Party

Fran will God willing turn a 100 years old on August 1. Faith Church had the privilege of celebrating this momentous occasion with her this past Sunday. During worship Pastor Albert and the Elders laid hands on Fran and prayed a prayer of blessing. A video reflection on Fran’s life was shown, after which the celebration continued with a delicious lunch at the Johnson Fire House.

May God continue to bless her!

Consistory Leadership Course

For the last 6 months, the Consistory of Faith Church has been busy with a leadership course offered by Pastor Albert. The curriculum included a leadership framework, the significance of feedback, the importance of vision, how to deal with change, resistance and conflict, how to develop a team etc. As part of their last meeting, they had a chance to meet with Tom de Vries in Tarrytown. Tom is the General Secretary of the Reformed Church in America Denomination. During the meeting we listened to Tom’s leadership philosophy, after which there was an opportunity for Q&A. After the meeting
the Consistory went out for dinner – a gift from the members of Faith Church.
