Women’s Breakfast – A time for women to gather together in support of learning and living out a Christian life. This is done through fellowship with each other in studying God’s Word, discussions and prayer. Everyone brings a dish to share and we meet in the Adult Lounge in the Church Hall the 1st Saturday of each month at 9:00 a.m.
HOAM – Hope on a Mission is a non-profit organization in Poughkeepsie that supports and encourages those who are struggling with life-draining habits, circumstances and addictions. This is done through prayer, personal relationships and meeting basic human needs (food, clothing, love). We at New Hurley volunteer to cook and serve dinner every second Saturday night of the month. The food is transported to the Mission site in Poughkeepsie to be served to those in need.
Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry – New Hurley congregants contribute non-perishable food items on the 1st Sunday of each month. These items are then delivered to the food pantry located behind the Wallkill Reformed Church. We also contribute for holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and “Souper” Bowl Sunday. They can be reached at 845-895-2181 for further information.
Operation Christmas Child– The organization, Samaritan’s Purse, collects shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. Congregants are provided shoe boxes and after they are filled, they are brought to the church mid-November and are transported to a collection site. For more information contact Samaritan’s Purse at www.samaritanspurse.org.
Branches of Humanity – is a 501c3 organization based in the Plattekill area. Each year they receive letters from families in need of help with holiday gifts. The community is asked to “adopt” a family and ages and gift needs are noted. You can choose which family you would like to help. Many of the children are disabled as well. New Hurley offers these choices to our congregants if they indicate they would be interested in contributing to a family in need. For further information please contact them at 845-418-3613. They are located at 915 South Street, Highland, NY.
Hippo Rollers – New Hurley congregants collect recycled deposit bottles/cans and use the money collected to help purchase hippo rollers. The hippo rollers provide easier transportation of water in under-developed countries.
Prayer Chain – Please send all prayer requests to Liz Burdick at boikoburdick.liz@gmail.com. E-mails then go out to all congregants for needed prayers.
Backpack Ministry – This outreach provides backpacks filled with necessary school supplies to students in the Wallkill Central School District to start the new year. Congregants receive a shopping list of supplies which is attached to a large paper bag. Items are brought into church and delivered to the school district.
