​Upholding Humanity Project

Since September of 2021St. John’s Outreach Committee has been working closely with local interfaith partners under the leadership of Dr. Isma Choudhury (Islamic Center, Woodbury) and Rabbi Michael White (Temple Sinai, Roslyn) to support Afghan Refugees. Isma and Michael have named this project the “Upholding Humanity” project

The project seeks to support resettling up to 10 Afhgham refugee families (up to 100 individuals) on Long Island and the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.

As one might imagine this is a complex and complicated project with institutional partners like ours learning to work together and with the government contracted resettlement agencies in a challenging time. We hope to help the first families resettle before the holy month of Ramadan which begins April 2, 2022.

There will be many opportunities for St. John’s parishioners to support these families as they are identified. Those opportunities will be communicated in the At St. John’s in coming weeks.

In the meantime, in the name of the church and with thanks to the generosity of our parishioners the Outreach Committee has been able to commit $10,000 to the “Upholding Humanity” project, without sacrificing our ongoing support to our other Outreach partners.

For more information please contact our Outreach Committee Chair, Laura Swiggett by email!

News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church. The very first Vestry minutes, written in fine script on September 4, 1831, lists the founders who pledged $2,000 to build a new church.

As we all begin to emerge from the peak of the COVID-19 crisis, many find ourselves asking the same question: "How then shall we live?" In times like these we all need to rely on our faith in God for guidance, support and refreshment and recognize that God is faithful to us in all ways.

With God’s help we will live and thrive together. Support us as we continue our mission with confidence.
