Talk of change within our community is swirling around these days. This is what we have discovered.

Palisades Free Library
Maria Gagliardi, Director of the Palisades Library, reports, "2011 marks the 120th anniversary of the Palisades Library. At this time there are no plans to combine with other South Orangetown libraries. Over the summer the library began a series of interior and exterior improvements. The upgrades will continue through 2012 adding to the functional space and energy efficiency of the building while retaining the library's warmth and historic charm. New lighting and redesign of the central air conditioning system have already made a significant impact on the library's energy usage. Carpet replacement and new seating continues on the interior and two new parking spaces begin the exterior improvements."

Harvest Festival
Saturday, October 15, noon to 5:00pm. Our third Harvest festival features delicious home-made soups and baked goods: cookies, cakes, pies and breads, all for sale at reasonable prices. There will be face painting and pumpkin decorating for children, and local crafts people will display their wares. And of course, there will be an exciting silent auction of goods and services. You never know! You might even win the dream vacation of a lifetime, so plan on attending. All proceeds will benefit the on-going programs and outreach of the Church.

A REFLECTION FROM REVEREND MADDALONE

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read: “Blessed by the Best.” It stuck with me as I reflected on my first year here as the pastor of the Palisades Presbyterian Church. I certainly have felt “Blessed by the Best” as I’ve gotten to know people in the church and the community and as I have had the privilege of journeying with many people through this miracle of consciousness we call life.

Labyrinth Walk - Saturday, March 21st from 5:00 – 7:00 pm

The Lenten season, beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 25th until Easter Sunday, April 12th, is a time of quiet reflection, prayer and spiritual growth. As a special reflection for the season we invite you to attend a Labyrinth Walk at the Palisades Presbyterian Church. There will be a brief presentation given by facilitator Lynn Brown of Garrison, followed by time for walking a 24-foot portable canvas labyrinth in the Parish Hall.

As the fall begins, Palisades Presbyterian Church returns to our regular schedule.

Midnight Run – Friday May 23rd 10:00 pm.

The church will participate in a Midnight Run on Friday, May 23rd; this is part of our mission outreach - touching the lives of some of the homeless people who live on the cold streets of Manhattan. We bring food, clothing and toiletries to designated locations around the city. Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless. Our local Hudson Presbytery is one of several Presbyteries that support this organization, and many other churches, synagogues and schools contribute as well to these midnight missions that take place every night of the year.

Summer is over, school has begun, and the young children are back at Palisades Church on Sundays, adding their presence to the congregation. During each Sunday's "Children's Message" we all lean forward to make certain we catch their special comments and answers to questions.

Worship is at 10:00 AM every Sunday, and the 1st Sunday of each month we have Communion. The children return to the sanctuary and sit with their parents to share in that ritual.
