Hymn Sing and Cyclones Baseball!

All: Save the date September 13th ... We are finalizing another bowling trip to Chelsea Piers! We are expecting to bowl from 5:30-7:30, so we'll probably meet at the Church around 4:00PM to try to be there ON TIME for once.

Confirmation Class members, look for a letter coming from Rev. Beth that includes an overnight lock-in at the Church on the night of September 13th.


Last Thursday's (21-August) Hymn Sing was a great time! We sang, we laughed, we made lovely music, we met our new percussionist Matt, we stopped a lot of foot traffic on the sidewalk, and we only had minimal mosquito bite damage!

In addition to the still picture album, above, check out these videos, too!

2008-08-23 Brooklyn Cyclones

After the rousing success on Thursday, a mostly different group of folks went out to Coney Island on Saturday evening to watch the Cyclones battle the Lowell Spinners. The Cyclones are a Mets "Class A Affiliate" minor league team, and the Spinners are a Boston Red Sox affiliate. (This is baseball, so feel free to ask Jenny about the finer points of the game!)

See who we met at the game in the above photo album, and don't miss the videos to see Christina and Mario shakin' their groove thangs!
Cyclones #1 (Turn your head sideways for this one...)
Cyclones #2
Cyclones #3

The game started quickly with the Cyclones scoring in the bottom of the 1st inning and leaving the bases loaded (at least a couple of other times, as well). It turned out being a very low-scoring game when the only other runs were scored by the Spinners in the top of the 9th inning - 2 runs, both scored on fielding errors by the Cylcones. The home-town Cyclones ended up losing 2-1, but it was a good time to be by the ocean, take in some baseball, eat a few hotdogs, salty popcorn, and sodas, then stop by Williams Candy shop on the way home to console ourselves over the loss.
