Th

ple

I’ve appreciated conversations with many

of you about your thoughts on the Apostles’

Creed. It is clear that the Creed was an

important part of your faith formation.

Memorizing the Creed with phrases like

“Maker” (instead of “Creator”), “Holy Ghost”

(instead of “Holy Spirit”), “sitteth” (instead of

“is seated”), “from thence…” (instead of “and”)

shaped how you remember the Creed, your

connection to past experiences of church, and

the faith you hold today. Saying it in weekly

worship shaped many of you and the memories

you have of growing up in church and how

those people and places were community for

you. Others have shared how central it was to

your confirmation classes as you prepared to

profess your faith and join the church. Our use

of the ecumenical version of the Creed (which

is actually the older version) has made for some

fun moments of splicing together our learned

versions with others, similar to the way people

say The Lord’s Prayer differently. Thank you for

sharing your thoughts, memories, and formative

faith experiences with the Creed with me. The

Creed has been a way to share who we are and

what we believe.

Our focus on the Apostles’ Creed,

however, is not simply about past formative

experiences. The Creed is meant to be a rule

of life that shapes who we are and how we

speak our faith into today’s experience of life.

Its purpose is to guide our faith along the jour-

ney of life, inviting us to engage different parts

of it as we live. Looking up into a starry night

invites reflection on the One we call creator or

maker of heaven and earth. Reflecting on the

gifts of grace and love connect us to the gift of

Jesus Christ and the ways he showed us God’s

grace and love. Being God’s mission in the

world offers opportunities to sense the Holy

Spirit’s presence among us and how we are

being the holy, catholic (which means universal)

church and the communion of saints. Being a

church on mission with God connects us to

God’s purpose of resurrecting the body, every

body into whom God wants all people to be

and our opportunity to participate in God’s

mission in the world.

I cannot think of a better place to speak

the good news of our faith as a symbol of our

purpose as a church than into the darkness of

Good Friday. To say the Creed by memory is

important because we won’t be able to read it

in the darkness of that service. But memorizing

it also allows us to embody it, to not rely on

the printed word, but our very lives to speak

the good news of the Creed, of our faith, of

Jesus Christ into the darkness of Good Friday

and the darkness we are called to enter on

mission with God. Some of that darkness is the

tension of the verse at the top of this article.

2018 – 2021 Capital Campaign

We are underway! We have contracted with an architectural firm to

provide us with accurate as-built drawings of the CE building, as well as

proposals for how best to accomplish our Campaign goals most efficiently.

We have also contracted with a roofer, to replace the entire CE building

roof in anticipation of the solar panel installation, and with a siding company

to replace the sanctuary exterior with a more durable material that will not

require constant repainting. We have received approval from Presbytery to

apply for a low interest “Restoring Creation” loan to help with the roofing,

siding and solar installation, through the Presbyterian Investment and Loan

Program. We anticipate being able to start the roof and siding projects

in late June, so you will be seeing your campaign contributions at work!

If you haven’t yet made a commitment, please

prayerfully consider participating in this campaign

for the present (and future) of our Ministries

of Faith. Pledges can be made via myFPCY.org.

If you have made a pledge, but haven’t yet made

a gift, or if wish to make a one-time gift, you

It’s saying, “I believe,” and it is saying, “help my unbelief!” Some of that

darkness is learning how, in the midst of a world isolation, to be a

community for one another in which we are welcomed, loved, and

formed into the people God created us to be. Some of that darkness is

stepping into places where people are robbed of their dignity, creation is

being destroyed, despair has replaced hope, brokenness seems to have

the final word, and embodying the good news of the Creed and our faith.

Good Friday is an important step into all of these ways of being God’s

people and God’s church in the world.

I’m looking forward to the rest of our journey through Lent with

the Creed and how it will ultimately lead us to the good news that death

is not the final word in this life. God does not leave his own Son in a

tomb but raises him from the dead. What God does for God’s own Son

is God’s gift to us as well. That is what we celebrate on Easter. It’s also

what we celebrate in how we are the church God calls us to be, people

of the resurrection, people of life and hope, welcome and grace, peace

and justice. This newsletter is full of the many ways we are living this

call in all that we do and in the opportunities unfolding for us through

the capital campaign. Thank you for being part of this church, and for all

the ways you are living the good news we find in the Apostles’ Creed,

worshipping and serving God together, and moving us forward in faith.

April is here, and the joy of Easter awaits us. But before we get to Easter,

we must go through Good Friday. The painful loss of someone held dear to us is something we all experience in our lifetimes. As Deacons, we help

people through their shock and grief with our Bereavement Ministry.

Church members, or anyone who asks for a funeral service in our church,

are eligible for this service.

There are two aspects to the Bereavement Ministry. First, Deacons host

a reception for the family after a funeral or memorial service held at the

church. Families supply the food, and Deacons host the reception. We set

up the Fellowship Hall to accommodate the size of the reception and type of food/refreshments served. Some families have a small service followed by

light refreshments; others anticipate a large turnout and choose to provide

a full luncheon. Either way, we are there to assist.

We also provide a series of 4 booklets to families who are grieving, called "Journey Through Grief". The booklets are sent out over

the course of the first year after the loss. A short note of comfort is sent along with each booklet. Positive feedback has been

received from the recipients of these booklets. I can personally attest to the value of these publications.

Anyone in need of this support can contact the church office, or Carol Cornish, who is our Deacon Coordinator for the

Bereavement Ministry.

FPCY Food Pantry PLUS — Addressing Hunger Broadly We all know it’s expensive to live here. Most of our pantry clients are employed (or are veterans or on disability) but cannot pay

the rent and feed their families on what they earn. Government programs like food stamps do not cover toothpaste, hygiene

products, diapers, or even toilet paper. Buying these essentials takes cash out of the household and increases the chances of

hunger. Over the past 10 years, the Deacons have added new programs, distributed at the Food Pantry, for diapers, school

supplies and other non-food essentials. We’ve come to realize that these are not “separate projects” but really all part of an

umbrella effort to address hunger in our community.

So we are moving to a One Pantry model, financially and operationally. When you give money to “the Pantry”

your donations will be used for food, diapers, school supplies, elder care and hygiene products – our whole port-

folio. This will provide us flexibility in the budget, and we hope will make donating easier, with a single focus rather than three

different topics at six different times of the year. We are also deeply grateful for your donations of food (the item of the month

is really important to us), large size diapers, school supplies or hygiene products – and incredibly thankful for your prayers, sup-

port and volunteer hours to help the pantry operate!

We are also working with the Mission Commission to discern what we might do on the advocacy side, to reduce the root causes

of hunger in our community, and to increase our clients’ health and self-sufficiency with regards to food.

Battle of Yorktown — Wage a War on Roadside Litter

April 13, 2019

In recognition of Earth Day,

this annual town event calls

on volunteers to help Yorktown stay clean &

green by picking up unsightly

roadside litter.

We need FPCY volunteers

for our team to help for an

hour or two on Saturday,

April 13, 2019! The town

supplies us with orange litter

bags, safety vests and litter

grabbers; we supply about

2.5 hours to clean up the

stretch of road from the

church to the Taconic Park-

way and part of Route 132. We gather at 7:30am. To join our team, contact Bud Coccodrilli at

914-552-2309 or budcoccodrilli@gmail.com.

Last year, 106 groups with 637 volunteers picked up more than

11 tons of roadside litter, assorted debris and 9 tires!

FPCY Gardeners of Eden

“The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth,

one is nearer to God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth.” The “Gardeners of Eden,” a group of gardeners (and weeders and planters) was

started about 10 years ago. In response to the late Craig Hibben’s dedication to

beautifying and caretaking our church property, the Gardeners began by helping to

maintain many of the beautiful flower beds and plantings surrounding our church.

Since then, the Gardeners group has grown to approximately 12 members, all of

whom are assigned a particular area of the church property. The adage “many hands

make light work” is certainly true in this case. Sometimes we garden together, other

times we garden on our own, but, always, we garden with loving concern for our

gardens and each other.

Our Gardeners weed, plant, water, weed some more (!), transplant and share in the

joy of helping to make our Church’s property the beautiful and welcoming place it is.

We welcome new gardeners: no experience necessary, on-the-job training, flexible

volunteer schedule, and no committee meetings (except perhaps an end-of-the year tea).

If you would like to join us or want to know more about the Gardeners, contact Judy Chessa (judychessa@yahoo.com).

Earth Day 2019—Stewards of the Earth

Earth Day falls on Easter Sunday this year. Join us as we celebrate Earth

Earth as we celebrate all of the ways we care for the earth, individually and

as a congregation. Invite your friends to celebrate the earth with us!

Lawn Care from the Green Team This information is excerpted from the Cornell Cooperative Extension fact

sheet “Lawn Care without Pesticides”. Can home lawns be maintained

without pesticides? Yes, they can, and they may even look nice too, if some

very basic lawn care principles are followed. A lawn that is properly main-

tained will be vigorous, healthy, and much more tolerant of diseases and

insects. This article has some “high level” actions; check the church web-

site for more details and the “why it works” story. (https://

fpcyorktown.org/green-lawn-care-from-your-green-team/)

Proper mowing will discourage weeds and increase resistance to some

pests. Proper mowing involves mowing at the correct height and frequen-

cy. The shorter the mowing height, the shallower the root system will be.

A lawn with a shallow root system will be more susceptible to drought

injury and less tolerant of root feeding insects and root diseases than a well

-rooted lawn. Mow Kentucky bluegrass, perennial rye and fine fes-

cue lawns at three to four inches. Tall fescue lawns should be mowed at four inches.

Never remove more than one third of the leaf tissue with each mowing. Scalping the lawn can shock it, making it

more susceptible to stress.

Watering A healthy lawn will survive the summer as long as it gets one-quarter inch of rain over a three-week period,

though it will be brown and dormant during this time. If the lawn receives an inch of rainfall weekly, it will continue to grow.

As long as rain supplies this water, you do not need to add more.

Weed Management The best form of weed management is prevention. Even with the best cultural program, weeds will

encroach into a lawn. The only weed management alternative to herbicides in a lawn is hand pulling. (Nancy Caswell notes:

Alternatively, let your lawn grow for a bit longer in the spring. Many of the “weeds” in my lawn flower in the early spring. It’s a lovely

flowering meadow.)

Disease Management Some natural organic fertilizers and composts will suppress and sometimes prevent disease problems. Composts may contain

microorganisms that are natural fighters of diseases. Lawns should be fertilized in the fall, as most root growth and food

storage occur at this time.

Core Aerification Core aerification temporarily reduces soil compaction and thatch problems by improving air penetration and water infiltra-

tion in the soil. The best time to aerate is in late summer or early fall.

Fertilization Soil fertility influences the lawn’s ability to resist

pests. Nitrogen (N) is needed in moderate amounts for a pest

resistant lawn. Leaving grass clippings on the lawn may reduce

these requirements by 30 percent. Lawns should be fertilized in

the fall, if indicated by a soil test, as most root growth and food

storage occur at this time.

Happy Spring to all of our Sunday School families! Throughout

March, we have been learning about The Prodigal Son in our

rotations through Art, Bible Skills and Games, Cooking and

Science. As we approach Easter, our lessons will focus on The

Last Supper. We hope your kids will be joining us for Palm

Sunday crafts, but please note that there is no Sunday School

scheduled for Easter Sunday.

Several parents have mentioned that they’ve enjoyed the

photos and posts that our teachers and shepherds have been

sharing on MyFPCY.org (Realm) over the past few weeks in

an effort to keep you better informed about all of the fun that

goes on in Sunday School. If you aren’t sure how to navigate

Realm or use the app, we can help!

As the end of the school year quickly approaches, we are al-

ready beginning to plan for next year. If you’ve ever considered

joining our amazing team of teachers, shepherds, youth assis-

tants, and snack coordinators, please speak with one of us over

the next few weeks--we’ll be happy to talk with you about the

Sunday School program and highlight some of the different

ways you can make meaningful connections with the kids in

our church.

Adult Education Commission

Three different Adult Ed Studies!!

Yes, we have three different adult ed studies going on at the same time. All of our groups are open to all,

so please make sure to invite friends who might share your interest in these topics. You don’t have to be

a member of our church to want to learn!

Thursday morning we’re finishing Waking Up White by Debby Irving. Our group’s

discussions have been very rich as we benefit from the diversity of our religious

backgrounds (Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and two Bahai women

have joined for a few sessions!) and life experiences.

Tuesday morning’s discussion group is reading Race in a Post-Obama America: The

Church Responds by David Maxwell as a follow up to Waking Up White.

Sunday morning we are reading Creed: What Christians Believe and Why by Adam

Hamilton. Reading this book is helping us to learn the Apostles Creed so that

we’ll know it by “heart” for our Good Friday service. And the discussions and

DVD sessions with Adam Hamilton are helping us think about our Christian

beliefs.

The first Wednesday of each month the Women’s Circle meets to discuss God’s Promise: I am With

You, the Presbyterian Women/Horizons Bible study for this year.

The Men’s Breakfast will be held at 7:30 until 9 AM on Saturday, April 20th in Fellowship Hall.

See you in class!

New in the Church Library:

A recent book by leading biblical scholar N. T. Wright is now in the Church Library. Surprised by Hope;

Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church (234 W) takes on the ambitious subject

of what we believe about life after death, and how it affects the way we live. He makes a convincing

case that Easter should be celebrated more than Christmas. While the incarnation gives us great joy,

the resurrection brings us incredible hope. “Take Christmas away,” he writes, “and in biblical terms you

lose two chapters at the front of Matthew and Luke, nothing else. Take Easter away, and you don’t have

a New Testament; you don’t have a Christianity.” Surprised by Hope sets out to answer what the ulti-

mate Christian hope is, and what hope there is for real change and transformation within our present

world.
