The welcoming, busy and generous congregation of Christ Episcopal Church, 400 Ramapo Ave., steeped in history and family tradition, is celebrating its first year with Priest-in-Charge, Reverend Stephen Rozzelle.
"The signature of this church is their outreach," said Rev. Rozzelle. "They respond to others during crisis."
After the devastating floods brought on by Hurricane Irene at the end of August, the parish raised $8,000 and replaced washer and dryers for residents on one street in the town.
"These are people they did not know and they went out of their way to help strangers," said Rev. Rozzelle. "That's true generosity."
