Scarsdale Congregational Church

Case study workshops were the centerpiece of the Fall Meeting of the Metropolitan Association of the New York Conference, UCC, Saturday, November 23, 2002. Theme of the meeting was "Local Church Revitalization" which, simply stated, means:

• Bringing in new people
• Doing new things

Though these are simple statements, implementing them is anything but simple.

Host church was the Community Church of the Pelhams, whose pastor is Rev. Susan Gibson.

Pictured above is one of the workshops; apparently all were so good, no one wanted them to end, but those organizing the meeting encouraged us to "keep to the schedule".
