A fun-filled weekend June 11th & 12th

June 10th, 2011 | Uncategorized

Two exciting things are going on this week at the Greenpoint Reformed Church.

Brooklyn Pride. Join us as we participate in the Brooklyn Pride Parade, with our very own pastors Ann Kansfield & Jennier Aull honored as grand marshals at this year’s event! The annual Brooklyn Pride Parade is a colorful and very important gay celebration, but on a much smaller and friendlier scale than the mother of them all across the East River.

We’ll meet this Saturday, June 11th at 7:15pm on the corner of 14th Street and 5th Avenue in Park Slope. If you have trouble locating us, feel free to call Pastor Jen’s cell phone at 917-446-2109.

Pastor Ann’s Ordination. The Greenpoint Reformed Church and All Souls-Bethlehem invite you to attend the ordination of Ann M. Kansfield to the Christian ministry by the Metropolitan Association, New York Conference of the United Church of Christ.

The celebration starts with the ordination worship service on Sunday June 12th at 4pm. Because Pastor Ann wants to start her ordained ministry immediately, worship will include the baptism of Avery Cruz-Miller. The service followed by a reception. Clergy folks, feel free to bring your fanciest red vestments, and you get bonus points for wearing red Converse shoes. Non-clergy folks, please wear red, too – shoes, hats, feather boas, cumber buns, etc.
