From the Rector

Dear Friends,

"All is safely gathered in, 'ere the winter storms begin." Hymn 290

We think (and sing, and pray) a lot about gathering in the harvest, sharing with others, and being thankful this time of year. While it is fitting to do so at the crowning of the year, we know that gratitude is a way of life for us as Christians. Indeed, every Sunday you will see a heading in the bulletin--The Great Thanksgiving. We do it year 'round.

But at this special time, we will emphasize and bless our shared commitment to this way of life by ingathering the financial pledges for 2026 during our "Harvest Thanksgiving" service this coming Sunday.

I am grateful for all of the time, talents, and treasure that you share with St. Mary's and our beloved community throughout the year. It is you who make this church a shining beacon of praise and thanksgiving. So, I encourage you to join us on Sunday as we bless the incoming pledges and set our faces toward the new year. If you can't make it, don't worry. You can always drop your pledge at the office or make a pledge online for 2026.

May God bless you in your generosity.

Father Rick

Thanksgiving Day Service

Please join us at 10am on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th, for a simple, beautiful service at St. John’s in Arden, a historic 19th century chapel on the Mortimer Estate.

Directions: From the Tuxedo Park gate, turn left on Route 17 and continue north until you see the sign for Arden. Turn right, cross over the thruway, and stay to the left. Continue up the hill, and stay to the right. Pass through the open gate and continue up the hill to the clearing, where you will find the church.

Sunday School Has Resumed

The formation of children is a critical part of our mission. Service in church helps them learn about responsibility, charity, and self-sacrifice. Children are welcome to participate in our programs and/or attend church services with their parents. Under age 5, there is a a fun childcare program. Children ages 5 to 12 are welcome to attend Sunday School. Those 10 and older are encouraged to participate in the service as acolytes or readers. Please speak with Father Rick or call the church office at 845.351.5122 for more information.
