THE FAMILY MINISTRY OF SOUTH PRESBYTERIAN
The Family Ministry of South Presbyterian Church has the mandate to support the families of our community to strengthen family life and find in Jesus Christ healing, renewal and direction.
Our Elders Sonia and Ray Camorro are the directors for this new ministry. Let us give them all the support and prayers towards a successful ministry.
Couples Retreat
The Family Ministry started its ministry in 2008 calling for a Couples Retreat at Stony Point Center on June 28th. Ten couples will leaft from South Presbyterian at 7am in car pooling to Stony Point, after a continental breakfast, the group had its gathering. With bible study, group dynamics and expositions on relationship, communication, partnering and many other issues the group spent the day encountering Christ in each and every aspect of their relationship. We concluded at 5pm and return to Yonkers.
OUR VISION AND MISSION
South Presbyterian Church sees itself in a unique moment and place in time. The City of Yonkers moves quickly to a redesign and renovation, without overlooking its very diverse population. Immigration, community and economic development, racial relations, jobs, health and housing are all issues that challenge a disciple of Christ in this city. As a church for all the people of Yonkers we see ourselves called to love and serve all people in the name of Christ towards a truly multicultural community. We are blessed with peoples from Scottish, Guyanese, East Asian, Ethiopian, Ghanian, Caribbean, Nicaraguan, Mexican, Venezuelan, Brazilian and far more backgrounds.
MUSIC FOR TODAY - Our Music Ministry has a new project. We have started the learning of new hymns in order for us to cover the about 80% of the new hymnal. We also are starting a sing along group that will sing carols during Christmas and perform Las Posadas. Join us.
Our Choir is also a great opportunity for you to learn and serve. Music is a necessary learning for all of us. Speak today with Charlie.
Let us serve our Lord and Savior with everything that we are and have. In God, through God and for God we exist.
