Summer Bible Study: Philippians
Wednesdays, August 12, 19, and 26, and September 2 and 9, from 3:00-4:30 p.m., in the Library
Join Rev. Cari for an in-depth Beth Moore study through the book of Philippians. One of the best loved letters of Paul, written from prison, this short book packs a powerful message of joy, unity, and hope amid hardship.
We’ll be exploring “The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ: A Study of Philippians,” co-authored by Beth Moore and Melissa Moore. Throughout the summer, we’ll meet across five consecutive weeks for 90-minute sessions in the church library, in-person only. This study includes workbook homework, live discussion, and a weekly viewing of Beth Moore’s teaching videos together.
If this is your introduction to Beth Moore, you’re in for a treat! She’s a decades-long Bible teacher and speaker based in Houston, TX, whose studies are full of humor, life-application, and intensive research on Scripture. Moore writes: “The book of Philippians is exhortation driven by unabashed affection. Discover how you can be unstoppable in love, faith and good works even amidst frustration and opposition.”
RSVP by emailing Rev. Cari. We’ll all begin together on August 12; there’s no homework before the study begins! The required workbook is purchasable online for $20: lproof.org/philippians
RPC Programs
Church Choirs
Summer Volunteer Choir
June 21 through August 9
Continuing the practice of past summers, we will include in worship many Sundays this summer a message in simple choral song from a weekly volunteer choir. Please join us! All persons middle-school age and older are invited to meet at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday, June 21 through August 9, in the chapel, to learn and rehearse a piece of music to sing in the 10:00 service. You get to sit with your family or friends, and you do not wear a robe. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and to find your way into the church’s music ministry.
Though there is no commitment required for any one of or all of these Sundays, it is helpful to know if you plan to be there. To that end, please call 914-967-0842, ext. 16, or send an email to Jason Charneski. Thank you!
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, June 7, 2026, 10:00 a.m. Worship
Breakfast for confirmands and families at 8:45 AM in the Assembly Room
The 2026 confirmation class has been hard at work since last September, learning the essentials of the Christian faith, reflecting on their own beliefs, and thinking about how their faith will be practiced amid all the details and concerns of everyday life.
In early May, they put their final touches on their Statements of Faith – personal reflections of where they are in their journey of faith. Each confirmand then met individually with an elder of the church to talk about their statements and their plans for beginning their adult life as a follower of Christ and as a member of this church. At the end of May, the class met with the full Session to be approved for full adult church membership.
For most of the class, Confirmation is an affirmation of their faith and the vows made by their parents at their baptism years ago. For some, it is their profession of faith and will be celebrated with their baptism on Confirmation Sunday. In both cases, it is a public commitment to continue the growth, learning, and service that are a part of the journey of faith in the context of the life of the church. Rather than “graduation,” Confirmation truly is a beginning and not an end. We look forward to seeing how the journey goes for this great group of young people!
On June 7, we will celebrate the start of this new chapter as we worship together and welcome these 18 new members to the table of fellowship. The festivities will begin with a breakfast for confirmands and their families at 8:45 a.m. in the Assembly Room. Worship with Baptism, Confirmation, and Communion will be at 10:00 a.m. There, with the confirmands, we can all reconfirm our commitment to grow in faith and to be a part of God’s good work in the world!
For more information, please visit our Confirmation page, or contact Rev. Love.
