In this Mission Minute you’ll see how the three Jersey City congregations – St. Paul’s in Bergen, Grace Van Vorst and Incarnation – brought healing to their neighborhoods through a Good Friday Stations of the Cross that prayerfully visited the sites of violent crimes; how All Saints’ Church in Millington brought healing and support to their neighborhood after a neighbor went missing; and how the rector of St. Paul’s in Chatham led an impromptu public service of healing after a suicide in a local park left their neighborhood reeling.

In this Mission Minute you’ll see how two congregations used public prayer to build bridges in their neighborhoods: Church of the Good Shepherd in Fort Lee through an outdoor procession in which they learned about and prayed for neighboring organizations and entities; and Church of the Atonement in Tenafly by giving “Blessings to Go” to commuters on the anniversary of 9/11.

Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center is a place where young and adults, alike, can go to be themselves and have fun in God’s creation. The camp experience is meant to strengthen the faith of all campers and send them back to their communities to do God’s work.
