| Saturday, September 20, 2025 2:45 PM Last Saturday of Gentle Yoga in the Sanctuary. with instructor Timothy Lewis, sponsored by Three and a Half Acres Instructor Timothy Lewis leaves our community with deep gratefulness and shares with us this message: “My time at St. Mary’s has been such a gift. Each Saturday, gathering together for chair yoga has been more than just movement or breathwork; it has been a reminder of the strength, warmth, and belonging that live in community. I am deeply grateful for the openness, curiosity, and kindness that everyone has brought to our practice. Though my path is leading me into a new season of life, I carry with me the spirit of connection we’ve shared here. Thank you for welcoming me so fully into the St. Mary’s family. It has truly been an honor to practice alongside you. With gratitude, Timothy |  |

Answer the Call: Protect Every Vote —
Training for lay and clergy leaders
As people of faith, we are called to seek justice, love our neighbors, and ensure that every voice is heard. This election season, that call is urgent. New York has already seen three major upsets in the primaries—in New York City, Buffalo, and Albany—and even the federal government is watching closely. That’s why we are making Election Protection a priority earlier than usual this year.
We invite you to join us for a gathering to share updates, set our agenda, and organize around five priorities that embody our values of dignity, fairness, and community care: Neighbor-to-Neighbor Poll Response – being present for one another at the polls. Language Assistance & Accountability – ensuring every voter, regardless of language, is supported.
Social Media Dispelling – standing for truth in the face of misinformation.
Federal Escalation Readiness – preparing to raise our voices when urgent action is needed. Vote By Mail Campaign – making voting accessible to all of God’s people. We believe that protecting democracy is sacred work, and your presence matters. Bring your faith, your courage, and a friend to join in this mission.
