| Dear Friends,
Rich Kennedy died recently after a few weeks on hospice care and a longer journey with Parkinsons Disease. I spoke with his wife Faye recently and she was relieved he was no longer suffering, and at peace with the Lord. We had some time of prayer over the phone and gave thanks for Rich, and his faithfulness which lives on. Rich and Faye were faithful members of the Chatham UMC for many years and moved to Heath Village in Hackettstown NJ 15 years ago. They still have a special place in their hearts for Chatham UMC.
A Memorial Service will be held at Heath Village Auditorium on Saturday, June 20, 2026 at 1:30pm followed by a light reception. Cards of love and support can be sent to:
Faye Kennedy
245 Heath Village
Hackettstown NJ 07840
With love, with prayer and with trust,
Jeff

Sunday’s gospel lesson is about people showing their faith (trust) for healing. A woman’s hemorrhage is healed after she touches Jesus’ cloak, and a man’s daughter is healed, actually raised from the dead, after the man and his friends approach Jesus, knowing he has the power to heal.
Come join us in the Asbury Room at 11:15 after worship on Sunday. This will be the last meeting of the Adult Discussion Group until late September.

THANK YOU!
We're a community of organizations helping each other to help people in need. Thanks to the New Providence UMC who brought us their leftover sweet potatoes, pears and oranges from their own food distribution.
To every person and organization who donated food and toiletries this week, and to everyone whose generosity made it possible to purchase food boxes, toiletries, and replenish the food pantry.
To our amazing volunteers who each week help pick up, deliver, sort, and stock donations for our 24/7 Food Pantry, and who prepare and give out food and toiletries at our Wednesday afternoon distribution. Your kindness, dedication, and hard work keep this effort going week after week.
We couldn't do this without you all.
