Fellowship in Faith and Dean's Forum

This week the church celebrates Good Shepherd Sunday. Fellowship in Faith and the Dean's Forum look ahead to Earth Day with a special program between the 9:15am and 11:15am services. Parishioner and evolutionary biologist Eric Morgan will lead a tour for children and adults of the various plant species that are incorporated into the design and landscape of the Cathedral. The tour is designed with children in mind but open to all ages. The tour will begin at Mercer following the 10am Coffee Hour.

Family Communion Class continues this week for both parents and children together, 10:15-11am at the Mercer School. Remaining classes are 4/21 and 4/28. The Family Communion Service is Sunday, May 5.

CSA Farm Share 2024 Season

The Hawthorne Valley Farm is happy to return to the Cathedral of the Incarnation this summer.

The Farm has a 350–member CSA and supplies organic and Biodynamic® produce to Columbia County residents and to the New York City communities of Garden City, Inwood, and Riverdale. Over 40 varieties of vegetables are grown on 16+ acres, and fruit shares from local farmers are also available. The CSA includes weekly delivery of produce for approximately 22 weeks.

The rewards of CSA membership are great: learning to eat seasonally, cooking and preserving new and interesting vegetables, celebrating the growing season at special events on the farm, and coming to feel a sense of connection to Hawthorne Valley and other farms in the region!

Join our CSA farm share by clicking here. We start in Garden City the first Thursday in June!
