Welcome

Please note, on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 our meetinghouse in Rock Tavern was destroyed by fire. Currently we are meeting in the facilities of St. Anne's Episcopal Church, 175 East Main Street (Route 94), Washingtonville, NY. (Please click link for a detailed map.)
Our worship service begins each Sunday at 10:45 a.m. We can be reached by phone at 845-496-9696. We hope you will join us !!

At a special congregational meeting held on Sunday, February 25th, 2007, the congregation voted unanimously to rebuild a meetinghouse on our prior site at 9 Vance Lance in Rock Tavern.
