Christmas Pageant 2018 Photos
This year's Christmas Pageant was held Sunday, December 16 and written by our Sunday School teachers Ms. Ashley McDowell and Ms. Kathleen Gentile.  The students told the story of Jesus in six scenes with several Christmas hymns.  There were a few *slight* liberties with the script to provide "A New Perspective" into the familiar story.  A joy-filled time was had by all!  Thanks to the parents and students who helped make it happen.

On Sunday, November 18, 2018 at 3pm the Verona Clergy Council once again hosted an Interfaith Thanksgiving Service.  This year's service was held at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church.  Four Verona houses of worship and one from West Orange, shared scripture readings from Islamic, Jewish and Christian traditions.  There was singing, praying, fellowship and a true sense of peace, unity and the Golden Rule.
