Who We Are and How You Too Can Find a Place

Jesus lived in a troubled time; but he announced the dawning of a new era, God's reign of justice and peace. 

He defied the powers that opposed God's reign by reaching out to all the victims of these powers. He gathered a company of followers, teaching them how to live in the freedom of this new era. But the world turned against him; his followers abandoned him; and the authorities executed him as a threat to the peace, in about 33 AD. from the dead! - The one who had risen to them and, through them, to the world. They were now convinced that God had rejected the judgment against Jesus and yet had absorbed the pain of it. By giving Jesus a new life, God validated everything Jesus stood for and gave his followers a new life in solidarity with him and with those he sought to serve. They began to see this new kind of life as the world's true future; others caught the vision and joined them. Thus began an historic movement inspired by this Good News. 

We are people bound together because we follow the way of Jesus Christ. 

We recognize the presence of God in Jesus and see his way of life as God's way toward a world transformed by love.

We tell his story, from generation to generation, convinced that we must follow him and embody his vision. 

Come and get to know Jesus by getting to know people whose lives are being shaped by this Good News.

Discover the Spirit of Jesus and see what God is really like. 

Experience what it means to be part of Jesus' deepening impact on the world  
by belonging to a community of his followers.

Shawl Request

11/28/2020

 

Calling All Knitters and Crocheters

Picture
Since the onset of the pandemic, the Shawl Ministry at the NJ Women's Prison has been shut down. No shawls are currently being made by the inmates of the prison. Consequently, our stock of shawls for distribution by CHS to persons in need is being maintained by the Knit/Crochet & Chat group that meets on Monday afternoons.. If you are a knitter or crocheter, think about picking up your needles and hooks to help replenish our supply. Yarn is available in the hallway bins adjacent to the church office. If you need patterns or advice (or encouragement), ask any member of the Kint/Crochet & Chat group.

Master Calendar

1/29/2020

 
Welcome to the CHS Master Calendar
 
The CHS Master Calendar was created to consolidate the multiple calendars that were being used previously.  Not all those calendars were up to date; many did not have the same events listed.  The ability to see details on the many events happening at CHS was not available on all the calendars.
Google calendar became the obvious choice:  it allows us to access one site for all events, to manage those events in one place, including details as needed; embed the calendar on the CHS website; and allow for dynamic changes.  A change made on the master immediately becomes visible on all linked versions.  If a change is made to the master, it appears immediately on the web version and it will appear on your version as well. 

You can access the CHS calendar from your computer, laptop, smart phone or tablet.  To see the calendar on the website, go to www.churchholyspirit.org and scroll to the bottom of the page.  Use the arrows below the header to see future or past months.  Move to the far right and select if you wish to see a week or month at a time or click Agenda for a listing of events.  Details are available for many events.

To have the calendar on your computer or other device, copy and paste or type this URL into your browser: 
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=chs.calendar%40churchholyspirit.net&ctz=America%2FNew_York

A limited number of people have administrative permission: Marge Keller, the Office Admin, Webmaster and CHS News editor.  If you wish to have an event added to the calendar, contact one of them.  To check facility availability, please contact the Office Admin.

Don't Fall for Whaling

11/19/2018

 
Picture
Whaling is a form of pfishing known as whaling.  It doesn't just affect us!  The Diocese of Newark has recently had a series of these attacks and has published an article explaining the phenomenon and what you can do about it.  

"You receive an email that appears to be from the Bishop, or your clergy person, asking you to take some kind of action – click a link, download an attachment, wire money to a specified account, purchase gift cards and reply with the serial numbers, or simply to reply quickly.
Watch out – it could be a form of email “phishing” known as “whaling.”

"Whereas “phishing” involves sending a fraudulent email to a large group of people in the hope that a few will respond, “whaling” involves forging communications that look like they’re from the “big phish” in an organization, i.e. the “whale.” For us, this usually means the Bishop or a clergy person, although it could be someone else in authority.

"Because these emails are usually crafted more carefully than your standard “phishing” email, they can be more difficult to detect."


Read the whole article, but here are some brief suggestions about what to do:
  • Verify the “from” email
  • Confirm requests with a conversation
​
Please know that no clergy person, Deacon Dot, your wardens or your Vestry would never make such a request. They will never ask for personal information, money, gift cards or anything else by email or on social media. Ignore any such request and, if possible, report it to your ISP as a fraud/scam.
One email looked like this:

I am not in the position to make a phone call at the moment as i am in a meeting and that is why i am contacting you via email. I will like you to help handle a personal matter. I would need you to help send out couple of gift cards to a family member in school concerning her project.and i will need this handled immediately. Kindly let me know if you are available to run this task right now so i can advise the quantity and domination.  

​Pay attention and stay safe!

Faithfully,
