You’re invited to share with us in celebrations & remembrances – worship, spiritual growth, small groups and big community events, in music and the arts, in outreach and service.

AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO PICNIC - Sunday, August 25, afternoon at Woodland Park, 1 Roosevelt Avenue in Hasbrouck Heights.  Covered pavilion with a BBQ grill, playground, rest rooms, etc.  Food, getting to know members of other "Augustine" network Episcopal congregations, ending with Evening Prayer.  Further details to come.

 

ALL PARISH OPEN HOUSE - All Parish Open Houses at the rectory or a parishioner's home. The next one will be on Sunday, October 13, 2-5 pm - at a parishioner's home.  RSVP/SIGN UP in the Reception Room or to David in the parish office to bring a finger food, dessert, or beverage.  Or just come!  All welcome.

 

OUTREACH:   On Saturday, May 25, Atonement will again partner with other churches in Tenafly to provide dinner for 200 people for Family Promise.  Get ready to cook chili and make salad!  In the spring, we'll host another "Snack-Pak" event for Center for Food Action (CFA).  From Mother's Day to Father's Day, bring in diapers (esp. sizes 5 & 6), baby wipes, baby food, and cereal for our annual NORTH PORCH Drive for infants in need.  Donation box in the Reception Room.  And as always, shelf-stable food donations may be dropped off 24/7 in the Chapel.  These go to feed our hungry neighbors through CFA.

 

LABYRINTH - The Labyrinth located on the front lawn (with patio and bench) is OPEN weather permitting, all year round.    Walk the labyrinth at any time.  Brochures have also been prepared with information and suggested meditations, and are available inside (and occasionally on the bench outside.)  

 

REFRESHMENTS:   Every Sunday church members volunteer to offer refreshments after the 9:55 am service.  It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with those we know.  

SMALL GROUPS for spiritual growth and fellowship are detailed on our Adult Ministries page.  Join us for Discovery Nights (next: TBD), Bible Study (1st and 3rd Thursday evenings; next:  Sept. 19, Oct. 3 & 17 - book of Daniel), Book Group (Friday mornings), Quiet Days (a few Saturdays each year), and the annual fall Adult Education Retreat at Holy Cross Monastery - Episcopal in West Park, NY (September 27-29). 

 

DURING THE CHURCH YEAR, Atonement holds a number of opportunities to gather and get to know each other better, such as:  The Country Fair in the fall, Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper in the winter (Feb. 13, 2024), the Parish Soup Supper during Lent, the Newcomers’ Brunch, and Outreach activities such as "Snack Packs" for hungry kids.

“Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread

and in the prayers?”  “I will with God’s help.”
