Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
It's inspiring to know that we are not alone; by sharing concerns with our Interparish Council (the ten Episcopal Churches in the South Bronx) - and ecumenically with organizations like South Bronx Churches and Bronx Health Reach, we have empowered members of our church and community to get things done and have an improved quality of life.
Reading Room - Over the years, we received many donations of books and other material. We decided to share this with the community, both children and adults. In addition to being able to take advantage of the library, the children have a supervised, structured place to do their homework, interact with others and after finishing their studies, play educational games.
Senior Citizens Program (The "Youngtimers") - This program involves educational and recreational activities for members of our church and community. Unfortunately, we've heard too many stories of senior citizens being taken advantage of through various scams. By meeting together and sharing their stories and bringing in speakers to address a variety of issues, we strive to help them feel less vulnerable. They also have trips to cultural and educational institutions that they might otherwise not be able to attend.
