At Abiding Presence, we depend on the generous support of members and friends for our ministry. Did you know that you can contribute through our online giving program? Visit this page for more information.

You can also choose to have your contribution sent directly from your bank as a one time, or a recurring contribution saving you time and postage. Simply add the congregation’s name and address on the “add payees” page of your online banking site, and your bank will send a check directly to Abiding Presence. As a benefit to the Church, it helps provide an even cash flow throughout the year helping the church more effectively and easily meet budget goals and manage expenses. 

Thank you to those who have been mailing in their offering envelopes while we have not been able to meet for worship! It is greatly appreciated since our bills must still be paid during this time. We appreciate your faithful support of our Parish. 

This summer, in lieu of Sunken Meadow Beach worship, Mass on the Grass will be held at Abiding Presence on the upper lawn. 

All are at 8am, followed by the 9am liturgy in church.

August 28 will be our last Mass on the Grass for the season.

RALLY DAY is scheduled for Sunday, September 18 beginning with the Blessing of Backpacks at the 9am liturgy. All children are encouraged to bring their backpacks to worship for a special blessing from Pastor Schoepflin and a keepsake for their backpack as a reminder that God is always with them.

Our RALLY DAY theme this year is “Monumental” Celebrating GOD's Greatness. 

Introduction to Sunday school letters and registration forms were sent to parents of children in grades N3 – 5 and are also available below for downloading. 

We have a fun filled Rally Day planned for this year and we look forward to “Celebrating God’s Greatness” with all of you.

Thank you to all who continue to donate items towards this worthwhile mission. We are now collecting breakfast cereals, pancake mixes that require "water only” and pancake syrup.  With children being home from school, the need for assistance is greater in the summer months. Your donations can be placed in the playpen in the narthex on Sunday or dropped off at church during office hours from 9 am – 2 pm. 

Through a generous gift of Erwin Zimmermann in memory of Bill Atkinson, a scholarship fund has been established at Abiding Presence. Bill’s sister, Martha Haynes, also made a gift to the fund in memory of her brother. The fund is not intended to be a memorial for Bill Atkinson only. Gifts to the fund may be made in memory or in honor of your loved ones, or just in thanksgiving to God. The standards and amounts of scholarships have yet to be established, but applications will be open to students from Abiding Presence, Trinity Wyandanch and St. Andrew Ellsworth Maine. If you would like to make an online donation to the APLC Scholarship Fund, please visit this page. Be sure to indicate APLC Scholarship Fund in the comments.
