Upcoming Events
The Consistory continues to uphold the difficult decision to keep the building closed until further notice. We have, however decided to add some outdoor gatherings!
In consultation with an Infectious Disease specialist we discovered that we can not meet the requirements currently in place to safely reopen. We understand that this decision creates a hardship for some members and those who use our facilities for their meetings, but our primary concern is the health and safety of our members and guests.
We will revisit this question at each consistory meeting until we are able to reopen. If you have
specific questions please do not hesitate to contact the church office at (973) 667-7022,
or by email at .
Our schedule will continue to change as the CDC releases new guidelines.
Please notice that the guidelines for people who are vaccinated are less restrictive than
for people who are not. If you are not vaccinated please take the extra precautions.
