Message from the Minister
The Reverend Dr. Kenneth Ruge
February is the kind of month full of small
opportunities for love. Valentine’s Day is one
obvious example. Named for a long-forgotten
Christian martyr from the third century, it is a day to
recognize love and relationship, to thank someone
special for their presence in our lives. Then we have
the weeklong school break with the opportunity to
spend quality family time together. Finally, smack in
the middle of the school break, is Ash Wednesday,
the beginning of the Lenten season. Lent is a time to
reflect on what is truly important and to consider
making small changes in the direction of love, health
and God.
Maybe during this time you can make these small
opportunities for love your first priority. Amidst the
rush and slush and logistic demands of parenthood
and school, amidst the demands and drama of work,
it is so easy to consider these small opportunities for
love as an afterthought ̶ the flower you almost forgot to buy, the child you forgot to hang out with, that
small change of routine you had fleetingly considered. Yet it turns out that these little things matter
most. Gestures of love and attention and even selfcare matter most in the grand scheme of things.
Jesus said, “Love one another. They will know
you are my disciples if you love one another.”
See you in church!

heart and stir the soul. The program includes Franz Schubert’s
beloved Trout Quintet, as well as
J. S. Bach’s beautiful Sonata in E
Major for violin and harpsichord.
Winner of the J. S. Bach International Competition,

of State, he has played thousands of concerts worldwide, including 40 solo concert tours of Asia.
Dr. Lee is both an international and interstellar star,
as one of his recordings was chosen to represent human culture on the Voyager Time Capsule. He is also
concertmaster of 14 International orchestras. He
plays the celebrated 1771 “Accardo” violin made in
Turin, Italy, by Giovanni Baptista Guadagnini.
Dr. Lee will be joined by RCB’s Minister of Music,
Dr. Sándor Szabó , at the harpsichord/piano, Andy
Kim, cello, Junah Chung, viola, and Kevin Brown,

ashes. It reminds us to “remember you are dust, and
to dust you shall return.”

Just Say Know!: Christian Ethicist
Dr. Kate Ott Presents Workshops on
Faith and Relationships
Sunday, March 8: Three age-specific
sessions—all free—in the Calvin Room
For Parents & Caregivers: 7:00pm-9:00pm
Dr. Kate Ott, assistant professor of Christian Social
Ethics at Drew University Theological School (and a
parent herself) will lead a program for anyone who
will be talking with kids, from toddlers to
teens, about sexuality, their bodies, and healthy
relationships.
A core part of our faith tradition is how to create
faith-filled relationships that balance love of God
with self and neighbor. Our sexuality and sexual
relationships are part of that balance. But when and
how do we start talking to our kids about this?
Friday and Saturday, February 27-28 (4pm-4pm):
Mini-Mission Trip in Westchester County, tutoring
and dinner at a Yonkers after-school program,
Habitat for Humanity, and bowling!
Friday 4:00pm to Saturday 4:00pm.
Dr. Ott's talk will include information on children's
and teen's sexual development and faith development, as well as current research on what works to
help kids put their faith values into practice.
Church School will not meet Sunday, February
15, in observance of the President’s Day holiday.
This workshop is open to non-church members, too,
so bring friends! You won’t want to miss it!
We will work on getting comfortable with talking
about "sex" and recognizing teachable moments to
share our values with our kids related to sexuality.
For Fifth Graders: 10:30am-12:30pm, includes lunch
Fourth Grade Bake Sale: February 8
Purchase homemade treats from our fourth-graders
after 10:30am worship, at coffee hour, to raise funds

messages kids get from videos, TV and social media.
This workshop is open to all fifth-graders of RCB
families, and will replace regular fifth-grade Church
School. Please bring your child directly to the Calvin
Room. If you are not interested in having your child

during the 10:30am service.
For the Confirmands: 3:00pm-4:30pm
Dr. Ott will join Pastor Cari's confirmation class in
the afternoon to present a fun and dynamic workshop

Turning a Page in Nodine Hill: First Stage of Literacy Project a Success
by Doris Benson
The Nodine Hill Childhood Literacy Project team, consisting of church and community volunteers, is pleased
to report the first project, the six-week Family Reading Time, was completed November 6. Families with
second- or third-graders who go to the Westhab Elm Street Youth Center after school program attended.
Each Thursday evening, after enjoying a dinner lovingly prepared by Sherrie Sorenson, the families participated in sessions led by Carissa Cottler, a NYS-certified literacy specialist. Through reading and discussion of
children’s books and word games, parents and children were taught approaches to making reading valuable
and fun. Each week, families chose a new book to take
Fundraiser for Literacy Initiatives
home and make their own.

gy, incorporated field
training into an intensive seminar for her senior students. They, with the help
of the Sarah Lawrence Early Childhood Center, developed and implemented
the play program for younger siblings of the families.
In addition, several students participated in each session, sought opinions
on the program from the families, and did the final assessment, which
concluded that field training had met its goals of providing an environment
in which children could enjoy reading and giving parents the ability to
engage in literacy activities with their children.
If you would like to assist with future childhood literacy program activities,
please contact Doris Benson at 914-961-6554, or dwbenson1@verizon.net.

Thank You for a Great Christmas!
Fall Mission Film Night
Wrap-Up
The Mission Council thanks everyone for making the holiday season
brighter for so many.
Through your generosity,
we collected hundreds of
gifts for families in need
in Nodine Hill and the
greater Yonkers area. A
hearty thanks also to the
Yonkers Saturday Playgroup volunteers, and to
all who made the Angel
Tree Party on December

thank you!
Christmas cheer at the Angel Tree Party.

From September to December,
RCB screened five documentaries
exploring such issues as systemic
poverty, race, class, violence, and
incarceration. Each evening
sparked constructive dialogue
and discussions between church
members, friends, and graduates
of RCB’s Coming Home and
LEAP programs.
We look forward to hosting more
events to discern how we as individuals, and as a church, can
follow Christ in mission.

Get a Tax Deduction Now for a Gift of Your Vacation Home
While Continuing to Use it For the Rest of Your Life
Wouldn’t it be nice to use your vacation home to ski, hike or bask in the sun and save taxes? You can donate
your vacation home to the church now, reserving the right to use your home for the rest of your life. And you
will get an immediate income tax deduction for your gift.
This gift arrangement provides you with the largest income tax deduction when interest rates used for calculation purposes are low. Take advantage of this opportunity before the Fed raises interest rates.
Example: A church member, age 78, owns a vacation home worth $400,000. She donates the home to the
church, reserving the right to use it for the rest of her life. She gets an immediate income tax deduction of
$301,538 for this gift.
A gift of your vacation home can be a “home run” for you from a tax standpoint. And proceeds from the
church’s sale of your home after your lifetime will help to sustain our glorious house of worship for years to
come. You would continue to be responsible for paying property taxes, maintenance and insurance costs for
the rest of your life.
This gift arrangement can also be created with a primary residence or farm.
For further information, please contact Planned Giving Committee Chair Suzanne Bloomer at 914-337-0142,
or Chief Operating Officer Alan Zanzano at 914-337-6776, ext. 117.
Please Contribute to the Deacons’ Fund
Since it was started in 1945, The Deacons’ Fund has helped countless members of our congregation and other
individuals in need with meals, transportation, and emergency care. Please consider making a gift to replenish
this invaluable resource. While donations are particularly encouraged on communion Sundays (the first
Sunday of each month), you may give at any time using the yellow envelopes in the pew racks. Please indicate
“Deacons’ Fund” in the memo of your check. Thank you.
Stewardship Envelopes
If you have requested offering envelopes, they are in the Edwards Room available for pick-up.

Library Corner: Books About Bronxville
As a follow-up to the recent year-long celebration of
the 350th anniversary of the founding of the town of
Eastchester, a display of books about Bronxville and
the surrounding area is being held in the Memorial
Library through February 28.
The centerpiece is Out of the Wilderness: The Emergence of Eastchester, Tuckahoe & Bronxville, NY
1664-2014. According to the cover, “This extraordinary book of local history traces the story of
Eastchester and its two wholly included villages,
Tuckahoe and Bronxville, from the original settlement
on the site of Anne Hutchinson’s massacre two decades earlier through its transformation into the densely
populated residential suburb of today.”
Fifteen authors ̶ including teachers, lawyers, a
professional genealogist, and a retired policeman ̶
volunteered to research and write the book, overseen
by two local municipal historians, Eloise Morgan,
Bronxville Village Historian, and Richard Forliano,
Eastchester Town Historian.

Corner for Caring
Judi McCandless, Volunteer and New
Member Coordinator.
jmccandless@reformedchurch.org
I recently participated in one of the most meaningful
volunteer experiences I’ve had since joining our church
more than 20 years ago. But I have had trouble explaining to friends and church staff exactly why it was so
profound to me. So let me try.
I have long remembered a sermon delivered a few
years ago at our church by Julio Medina, a formerly
incarcerated man who founded Exodus Transitional
Community, which helps former inmates adapt to life
on the outside. He said, “Imagine if you were only
known by your own worst act.” It helped me think about
what a barrier to success that must be, even if someone
has served their time and is rehabilitated.
Over the years, I’ve appreciated our church’s
“Coming Home” program, which aligns recently released inmates with mentors from our church, to help
them transition to life after prison. A few months ago, I
responded to a notice from Dawn Ravella about a service opportunity for monthly visits to Sing Sing Correctional Facility, a collaboration with Brick Presbyterian
Church to visit inmates who are enrolled in coursework
offered through New York Theological Seminary. After
my first discussion group there in early December, I
realized I was going to get more out of this experience
than I could ever offer. I was hoping there would be
open and honest discussions in a group setting (about 15
inmates and 5 volunteers), but it was so much more.
From the men in the room I witnessed thoughtful listening, mutual respect, appreciation for the volunteers, a
desire to educate themselves and help others learn from
their mistakes, and their hope that they could make the
world a better place—whatever their circumstance
might be. It was a place for deep sharing involving healing, change, and forgiveness, often woven into the
fabric of discussions on current events such as the
Ferguson/Eric Garner events, religious radicalism and
resulting violence as witnessed in Paris.
I’ve only been there twice, but each time I’ve left
with a profound sense of connection. I am reminded of
Jesus’ words about those who care for hungry, sick,
poor, and imprisoned from Matthew 25:40: “Truly I say
to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.”
