Upcoming Programs & Events at Church of the Heavenly Rest
James DeWoody - Inward and Outward—Past and Present
On view: May 5th - August 18th
Inward and Outward—Past and Present at Heavenly Rest is a retrospective art exhibition in the Undercroft Gallery that examines the evolution of DeWoody's art from his youth to the present. After Jim DeWoody’s military service, he came to New York City for graduate school at The Pratt Institute in 1972. Since then, he has worked in downtown Manhattan, making art in his Tribeca studio and teaching art in college.
Grassroots Grocery: Community Meal & Cooking for our Neighbors
On the last Wednesday of every month at 5:45 pm, we invite teens and adults to prepare, cook, and package meals to donate to Grassroots Grocery’s community fridge on 92nd and 1st Avenue. We also share a community meal! Please register here. We meet at 5:45 pm in the chapel for our Sung Evening Prayer and start cooking in Darlington Hall around 6:00 pm.
Wednesdays for Everyone
Beginning at 3:45 pm we offer Music, Movement, Arts and Worship for children 3 yrs old through 6th grade. Young children learn music basics through joyful singing, movement, and games, led by teaching artists. The Choristers sing music from the Anglican Choral tradition and a diversity of styles for the 11:00 am Sunday Eucharist at Heavenly Rest, on the First Sunday of each month. All of our activities are open to the neighborhood and community, and we would love for your family to join us! Email for more information.
