It happened on Super Bowl

Sunday. I was visiting a

friend in Woodstock until

the game ended around

midnight. As I was driving

home, I was pulled over by

a state trooper. As far as I

was concerned I hadn’t

done anything illegal. No

drinking or anything of that

nature. Was this just an

overzealous, state trooper

patrolling the roads? What

had I done? Apparently, I

had forgotten to use my

blinker – on a road, which, I

suppose, technically re-

quired a right hand turn

signal (although, I would

argue, was a bit ambiguous

since it was on a curve, and

not an actual turn). Anyway,

I was advised to fight the

ticket to avoid an excessive

fine and any points on my

license.

Fast-forward six months to

the night of traffic court in

Woodstock. As I drove up

to the building I entered the

parking lot behind the court.

I was in luck – one parking

spot left. However, as I

started to get out of my car,

a guy started yelling at me,

“Hey, are you here for traf-

fic court?”

“Yes,” I responded.

“You can’t park here! It’s

for employees only! It’s

posted!”

“Ok,” I said.

Having dutifully moved my

car after being chastised by

this red-faced stranger, I sat

in the courtroom waiting for

the night to begin. It was at

that moment – moments

A Word from Our Pastor...

It is June 23rd, around 9:00 in the evening, twilight time, a magical time in between day and night. It is light enough that one could still be outside visiting a neighbor, walking the dog, perhaps, or playing. Re-member those long summer

evenings of childhood - playing one last game of hide and seek, kick the can, chasing fireflies...? The frogs in our pond are very vocal tonight; I believe there is a full choir down there and as you step closer to the edge, you can hear all those

voices. Tonight, a slight breeze teases the tops of the trees - the air is somewhat damp - maybe there is rain on the way. The sky, a pale night-time blue with clouds of darker hue, a layer of pink - exquisite! The trees

July 27th

before the start of court –

that things got interesting. A

few minutes away from 6:00

pm the door behind the

bench opened. And coming

through the door was the

same guy who had yelled at

me in the parking lot. He

was wearing a black robe.

And as they would say on

Law and Order, he “took

the bench.”

Doh! I figured it was all

over. Get out your check-

book. This is going to be

unpleasant. I had just met

the judge in an awkward ex

parte proceeding. What do

you do in this situation?

Argue the state patrol was

wrong? Somehow I didn’t

think this guy was going to

be in the mood to hear

about my innocence. Plead

ignorance? Twice? Is not

paying attention a defense?

(Continued from page 1) If there was supposed to be

some grand life lesson in all

of this, I still haven’t figured

it out. If the lesson is about

being a more legally obser-

vant citizen, think of the

context: Woodstock! Amer-

ica’s most beloved symbol

of rebellion. Is the lesson

supposed to be the opposite

of that – that human justice

(as opposed to God’s jus-

tice) is a petty and small

thing? Maybe. A silly ticket,

6 months of bureaucracy,

and a potentially impartial

judge? If these are the marks

of the human justice system

it does seem ineffectual.

Although, to the court’s

credit, my ticket was

bumped down to traffic

ticket (no points) and the

fine was only half of the

max. The whole thing may

seem silly, but not really

worth getting on a soapbox

over.

The only thing I’ve really

come away with from this

story is this: I’m glad I’m

not him. I wear a black robe

pretty regularly myself. My

black robe is probably there

to communicate authority,

much like the judge’s robe.

However, mine is not, or

least it shouldn’t be, the

same symbol of judgment.

On the contrary, my black

robe is there so people will

trust me when I say that

God’s justice is different.

God’s justice is not about

fines, penalties, or turning

signals. It’s about grace,

mercy, and love. And I’m

just glad God was not inter-

ested in making me, or any

minister, or any of God’s

church, the judicatory of

our small, petty, and awk-

ward moments.

Shalom,

Pastor Aaron

Patterns and instructions are

available and anyone who is

interested in learning more

about prayer shawls may

contact Joan (626-7359).

We usually meet in the Fel-

lowship Hall every Wednes-

day from 10-12 noon and

you are welcome to join us.

Creating prayer shawls is a

wonderful way to reach out

to those who are experienc-

ing difficult or in some cases

joyous times. A soft and

embracing shawl says more

about love than we can ever

express. If you know of a

special someone who might

benefit by this ministry or if

you would like to take part,

Note: we do plan to con-

tinue meeting throughout

SUNDAY SCHOOL:

The last day of Sunday School was June 8th. Riley Schoonmaker played Pachelbel’s Canon in D on the piano and the entire Sunday School sang and did the sign language for a song taught to us by Mary Schoonmaker during the Church service. The stu-

dents received certificates of participation. We will be sending a check to Heifer International for $156.00; earned 5 cents at a time. Thank you all who donated your deposit cans and bot-tles to this very worthwhile cause. Please note that we will NOT be collecting bot-tles and cans throughout the summer.

YOUTH GROUP:

The Youth Group had pic-nic at the Wikane's for its final meeting of this school year. We had fun playing games and eating hamburg-ers, hotdogs, s’mores and watermelon. We are plan-ning a camping trip August 13-15th. Details of trip will be worked out, as we get

that they fare better with them in their lives. Unfortunately, some seniors would feed their food to the pet when there is not enough in the home...consider a donation of pet food to the Pantry.

Seniors sometimes have a diffi-cult time choosing between food and prescriptions. Some prescriptions are extremely expensive. Extra cash ear-marked for prescriptions would be very welcome.

At the last RVFP meeting, it was suggested that each partici-pating church (5 of us) would donate one day's worth (about 60 lunches) of a bag lunch for the week of Vacation Bible School which is being held again at Camp Epworth Au-

gust 25 - 29. The bag lunch would hold a sandwich, chips, fruit cup, juice, and a pudding, maybe cookies. Would you like to help with this? Please con-tact Lorna for more informa-tion about this endeavor.

Lastly, many thanks for the donations in the WE CARE and WE SHARE baskets at our church. Usually there are 10 to 20 items in them. I'm so proud of our church for giving so much.

God Bless,

Lorna Schimmrich

It's almost summer time and some gardens are already be-ginning to produce delicious and healthy foods. For those of you whose gardens overwhelm you with too much for your family to use, please consider that there are many families in the Rondout Valley School district who would be very happy to receive some of your surplus. The RV Food Pantry would be happy to distribute some of these surplus veggies.

The backpack program for school kids will continue over the summer. Three meals for 2 days are provided in the back-pack.

Congratulations!! Between New Year’s Day and the end of

May, this congregation filled the mission coffers with $4,461.

The money was used to help the organizations listed to the

left.

That’s a total of $4,306 distributed in five months and does

not even include food collected, items for cleanup buckets,

“pop-tops”, etc. etc. Good job….give yourselves a pat on

the back!

We will continue to collect the “pop-tops” until that fish tank

is full! And, for the summer, we will concentrate on our “We

Care-We Share” baskets. Come September, we will have a

BABY SHOWER for the Pregnancy Sup-

port Center. Details will be posted in up-

FIFTY YEARS!! That seems

like a long time ago but it is in

my mind like it was only yes-

terday…Fifty years ago in Hol-

land, Michigan I graduated

from Western Theological

Seminary. Fifty years ago on

the 30th of June I was ordained

into the ministry of the RCA

In Muskegon, Michigan. For

ten years we served there and

then we moved to a little town

called Hurley, New York

where our ministry lasted for

33 years. On my 70th birthday

I “retired” according to the

rules of the RCA, at least for a

month or so, then, a year as

interim at Woodstock, fol-

lowed by four years at High

Falls, and then on to Port

Ewen, where we are now.

Someone said that as we watch

time go by it really seems it is

like a roll of toilet paper, the

closer you get to the cardboard

roller, the faster it goes.”

It was hard for me to put all of

that in perspective as Esther

and I went back to Holland to

celebrate the beginning of all

of this in the observance of a

“special class reunion for the

class of 1964” on May 12th.

It was great to see old friends

that somehow had been lost in

time and space as we all went

our separate ways to serve the

Church in our pastorates. We

stayed with the Burkes, good

friends for many years in Ply-

mouth, Michigan and then

went with them to Holland to

take part in the festivities in a

luncheon to honor our class

and then a special gathering of

the alumni over many years.

We walked through the hal-

lowed halls of the Seminary

And it seemed so much larger

with the additions that have

been made over the years. A

library that seemed twice the

size since we were there, with

six floors rather than one big

room like it was back then.

The chapel has been remod-

eled and office spaces and

classrooms added, so we found

the old familiar and the new as

well. Nine of my classmates of

the 31 in our graduating class

were there. We paused to re-

member seven who have al-

ready passed away and gone on

to their reward. It was a long

drive and a busy pace to keep

but it was well worth it and I

am glad that I changed my

mind from “not going” to at-

tending and participating.

It’s a great thing to look back

upon one’s life and see how

God has walked with us in the

days He has shared with us. It

seems like only yesterday when

we arrived in a new Town

called Holland to attend Semi-

nary. Esther was pregnant and

five days after we came to start

school our first daughter ar-

rived on the scene. Then our

first pastorate in Muskegon,

and inner city parish with many

challenges and opportunities as

well and we learned and grew

as God walked with us and

moved us through many

phases of life and ministry.

Also, along came two more

daughters who attended Moon

Elementary School, a few

blocks down the street from

our house on Holbrook Drive.

Then the move to Hurley

where God had new plans for

us and the work we would do

in the church there. The many

friends: the beauty of the area:

an old stone house to live in:

and the working of God in

new and special ways… then

retirement and the service as

an interim or as a contract pas-

tor and the working and won-

der of God continues with new

friends and new challenges and

opportunities. Yes, time

marches on and fifty years

seems like a long time ago, but

the beauty of it all is that God

marches with time too. He

holds in store for everyone of

us the bounty of His love and

the call to serve Him, wherever

and however we can do that.

For me and my family it has

been and continues to be a

journey of joy

And wonderment as He leads

and blesses us in all the years

that are in store for us. As our

motto says.” Solo Deo”..to

God be the glory!.. Always and

wherever we are!

A History Lesson...second in a series by Gary Kitchen

Our church congregation first gathered for worship in a preaching station lo-cated in a barn on Cherry Hill Road in 1807. That same year, a log cabin was built as a more permanent replacement for the preaching station. In 1830 a stone church was built to replace the log cabin and it was this same year a Sun-day school was established. The newly built church was called “The Clove Re-formed Church of High Falls and Alligerville." All three places of worship were located on land do-nated by a Dr. Broadhead close to the intersection of the present day Cherry Hill Road and Old Clove Road.

In 1841, the Consistory purchased 7 acres on ei-ther side of Berme Road near the D&H Canal. This land was purchased from a Lodewyck Hasbrouck for

the purposes of building a parsonage. These plans were put on hold because of rising debt and the pos-sibility of losing the church. In order to stave off the inevitable, the con-gregation took down the church of Cherry Hill Road, sold the pews at auction and was able to recover from their finan-cial situation. In fact enough money was raised that a new church and par-sonage was built in 1846 on the 7 acres.

In order to accommodate

the parishioners from Al-

ligerville, George Harnden,

from the notable ship-

building family, con-

structed a scow for the

purpose of carrying people

from Alligerville to the

church. Often 150 persons

at a time made the voyage

down the D&H Canal.

docking at a wide point in

the canal across from the

church. Often a small or-

gan (melodeon), owned by

Mrs. Gertrude Decker, the

first organ in Alligerville,

was put aboard the scow

and taken to the church.

People sang to the accom-

paniment of this organ

both in the church and

during the round trip voy-

age from Alligerville. By

the 1850s, the Alligerville

and High Falls congrega-

tions were large enough to

support a church of their

own, so the people of Al-

ligerville built a brick

church and dedicated it in

1859. The structure of this

church is now a private

residence and located on

Church Lane in Alliger-

ville.
