We have an opportunity to partner with our sister congregation, Joy Englewood, and NYC non-profit, City Relief, at an annual event called the Paterson Block Party. Paterson is one of the most underserved neighborhoods in New Jersey. At the block party, we invite the community to enjoy conversation over a BBQ, fun games and activities for kids, manicures for the women, prayer, and medical services, among other things. Will you prayerfully consider serving with us at the Paterson Block Party this year?
