When the world feels too loud for angels to be heart — what might it take for you to listen again? This Advent season, join us as we read “The Angels of Christmas: Hearing God’s Voice in Advent” by Susan Robb, a four-week journey through the stories of Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds–ordinary people who encountered the extraordinary. 

Online sessions will be held Sunday evenings at 5PM with the Rev. Kevin Booker-Kidd for our virtual Harlem family.

Please email Rev. Kevin Booker-Kidd kb3335@utsnyc.edu to receive the Zoom link.

People are hungry

St. Mary’s congressional district (13) has over 220,000 members and neighbors enrolled in SNAP food benefits, which is currently suspended due to the government shut down. We know people in our community were already hungry, and it is getting worse.

How can you help?

Stock the Community Fridge with groceries any time.

Bring non-perishable canned goods to worship on Sunday.
