May 4: Coming of Age Service

Our young people will be celebrating their Coming of Age by sharing their credo statements with the congregation on Sunday, May 4.  So that we honor this occasion, please arrive by 10:30 am. The sanctuary has been rented for later that afternoon and we must be out by 2:30 pm. So that the youth and their families have the opportunity to celebrate during an extended coffee hour, we would like to start the service on time at exactly 10:45 am. Please honor this request. If you have any questions, please email aisha@4thu.org.

Everyone has DVDs at home that they’re not watching any more, and guess what – they’re worth money to 4th U! Starting Sunday, May 4, through Sunday, June 8, bring your new or used DVDs in to church and place them in our collection bin. We’ll be selling them on Amazon.com. The more you bring in, the more we can sell – and the more money we can raise to support the programs at 4th U that mean so much to us. For information, contact James Wesley at jwesleynyc@yahoo.com or 917-903-1348.
