Don’t Go to Church

For Immediate Release

United Methodist Church of Mount Kisco Says, “Don’t Go to Church”

Local Church Shuts Down Sunday Service to Serve the Community

            Mount Kisco, New York, May 21, 2008—The church has left the building.  And on Sunday, June 1st, its community will be glad they did.  The United Methodist Church of Mount Kisco, a 200 member congregation, is putting its faith into action by canceling its regular 10:15am Sunday service to practice very purposeful acts of kindness throughout the community.

            Volunteers from both the church and the community will be joining together to perform various tasks such as:  carpentry work, cooking, cleaning, calling on shut-ins, hospital visits, painting, litter pick-up and yard work.  A total of 8-10 work projects, with something for all ages and abilities, will be held during Faith in Action Sunday, bringing together community members from both within, and outside the church.  The New York Blood Center will have its “Blood-Mobile” parked in front of the church at 300 Main Street in Mt. Kisco.

            “We’re excited about how our congregation has rallied to support this special weekend of service to our community.  Many of the people in our work parties are neighbors who don’t even attend our church, but see the value of what we are doing and want to help.  We invite everyone to join us,” says United Methodist Church of Mount Kisco’s Pastor Matthew T. Curry.

            Anyone wanting to join a work party can meet at the church at 9:30am, Sunday, June 1st.
