All are welcome to join in as we continue our Sunday evening reading and discussion of Matthew’s gospel. We meet in the church library, with a Zoom option if needed.

RPC Programs
Church Choirs
Come, Sing!
A program for Children in Grades 1-3
All children in Grades 1 through 3 are invited to gather on Thursdays, from 4:00-4:45 p.m. (snack available at 3:45), for a time to learn some songs and stories of the faith. We’ll conclude on October 29 (as Christmas Pageant rehearsals will begin on November 5). Come, Sing! is a great way for children to come together in order to learn some songs and stories of the faith. Who knows? They might offer a song or two in worship some Sunday soon!
Chancel Choir
Resumes Sunday, September 27. New Singers Always Welcome!
The Chancel Choir (open to those high-school age and older) will resume its ministry on September 27. New singers always are welcome! While being able to read music is helpful, the main criterion is the ability to match and maintain pitch. Section Leaders (professional musicians) assist and inspire all singers, and we are able to provide childcare for those who would like to sing but feel that they need to tend to their children. See the flyer for more information.
The usual schedule is a Sundays-only affair: Warm-up at 9:15 a.m., sing the 10:00 a.m. service, and then the weekly rehearsal from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There are times (closer to Christmas and Easter, for example) when the timeframe will be a bit longer (earlier warm-up time and/or later rehearsal end time).
In addition to our annual Cantata Sunday (December 13) and Jazz Sunday (February 28), a highlight this season will be joining with the choir of First Presbyterian Church of New Canaan (Conn.) for a concert there the afternoon of Sunday, April 25, with the program repeated here the afternoon of Sunday, May 2.
Your willingness to sing – even if you need to be away at times – enhances the musical, communal, and faith life of the choir and the church. Please speak with, call (914-967-0842, x. 16), or email Jason Charneski if you are interested or have questions.
Instrumentalists
We encourage those who play instruments to contribute their musical abilities by adding these sounds to the many others offered in worship. Please contact Jason Charneski to learn more.
RPC Youth
Confirmation
Sunday, October 18, at 5:00 p.m., in the Westminster Room
The journey to Confirmation Sunday, June 6, 2027, is underway! June may seem far away, but we have much ground to cover! Together, we'll be exploring the core questions of the faith: What is the Bible all about? Who is God? Adam and Eve and that snake… what do they have to do with me? How can the world be both so beautiful and such a mess all at the same time? After a brief orientation to the year ahead, the entire class met late last month to begin the year and get to know each other a little better. We will jump into the theological deep waters with this month's classes.
For more information, please visit our Confirmation page, or contact Rev. Love.

Chapel Yoga
Wednesdays, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., in the Chapel
No meeting on October 7. We resume our weekly schedule on October 14.
Cari Pattison is a certified yoga instructor (RYT200), and is offering a Level 1 Vinyasa flow class on Wednesday mornings. Weaving scripture into the basic class structure, the class gives us an opportunity to stretch and strengthen our bodies, breathe into a posture of prayer, and deepen our relationship with God. Mats are available to borrow, along with other props. We encourage you to come five minutes early for setup. All are welcome, including beginners! To RSVP, or to learn more, email Cari Pattison.
Chair Yoga
Tuesdays, October 13 through November 10, from 10:00-11:00 a.m., in the Chapel
Looking for a way to feel better in body and mind while accessing more ease and grace in your life? The ancient practice of yoga has been proven to help calm the nervous system, prevent injury, improve breathing, and promote physical and mental well-being. Did you know it can also be a beautiful method of prayer?
Join Co-Pastor and certified yoga instructor Cari Pattison (RYT 200) and friends from the RPC Senior Social Club for a new chair yoga class on Tuesday mornings. We’ll work through a meditative stretching and breathing practice: weaving together scripture, prayer, music, slow movements, and aromatherapy.
All are welcome, whether RPC members or not, to this respite of calm and relaxation for seniors and others who prefer a gentler practice. It’s also ideal for those of any age experiencing mobility limitations or injury recovery. Chairs, props, and water will be included. Just wear comfortable clothes you can move in!
The suggested donation for those not already giving to RPC is $10 per class. Giving can be done through our ryepc.com/give/. Kindly RSVP to Cari Pattison.
Senior Social Club
Sunday, October 25, following worship, in the Church Library
Our first meeting of the Senior Social Club will be held on October 25, in the church library, right after worship. We'll kick off with a meet-and-greet, and light refreshments will be provided. We hope you’ll join us! If you’d like to learn more, please contact Penny Kovacic. In conjunction with the formation of the club, Cari begins a new weekly chair yoga class on Tuesday, October 13, at 10:00 a.m., in the Chapel. This is a great option for those who prefer a gentler practice. To learn more, please refer to the announcement above.
