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.

Summer drum circle

Jill snapped a few pictures of the second drum circle on August 7th.

For those of you that have been around this summer (or last year), I hope you knew about the Summer Music Program, and specifically the FPC Drum Circle. Unfortunately the drum circle had a "limited engagement" and the two weeks of drumming have completed.

You can still get in on a good time of choosing and singing your favorite Church hymns from either the Blue or the Tan hymnal - this Thursday, August 21 at 7:00PM. (Really, it is more fun than it sounds, especially if you even remotely enjoy singing, or listening to great singing!)

Hope you are enjoying your summer. Look for lots of fun kick off events coming in September (or check out the calendar at the bottom of this page for a sneak preview of September 13th Youth events)!

ning Social Network site for NYC Presbytery Youth

I am happy to announce a new webpage that has been designed for Youth of the New York City Presbytery.

The webpage address is: http://www.presbyyouthnyc.ning.com/

On this webpage you can post blogs, notes, photos, videos, start a webpage for youth group, send the presbytery a message, join in forum discussion and Bible Study, and share events that are going on in the Youth Ministries around the Greater New York City area.

We are searching for a logo for our webpage.

The logos that are submitted will be posted on the website for two (2) weeks. During this time everyone can vote on which logo they like. The winning logo will be featured on the webpage. You may want to search the internet for some of the logos of Presbyterian churches in PCUSA or search the PCUSA websites for inspiration and ideas to create your own. HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!!

The Rules:

Your logo MUST BE INCLUSIVE of all our churches.

The theme is: “Joined Together Through Faith, Love, Unity, Hope…and Jesus Christ!”

Only one entry per church may be submitted.

THE DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2008

Thank you all for your participation. As a “Connective Church” this network will aid in reaching out to everyone as a way of strengthening the bond.

God Bless,

Liberty Outdoor Classic!

Since no one reads the words and jumps right to the photos, I'll just post them right up front. :-)

2008-07-19 Liberty Outdoor Classic

Sure, the weather was hot and the Liberty lost to the Indiana Fever, BUT we did see V FACTORY, and MENUDO! All in all it was a good time for the 15 of us that were able to make it out to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens last Saturday for the first-ever regular season outdoor game by a professional basketball team! (A portion of the proceeds from the game's ticket sales – as well as various fundraising activities throughout the evening – benefited the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), an independent not-for-profit organization whose mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer.)

So we got hot, had fun, ate too many hot dogs (Mark!), felt the cool breezes of Queens, and we ALL agree that a great big THANK YOU goes out to Stephanie for bringing up the idea, and providing the tickets and the eats!

Check your email for an upcoming invitation to a Brooklyn Cyclones game in August!
