Participating Churches

A little more on the participants from around the presbytery:
In summer 2006, we began to solicit interested people from around the Presbytery of New York City who wished to go on the trip. In the end, we have participants associated with the following eight congregations:

• Bay Ridge United Church, Brooklyn
  
• Eastchester Presbyterian Church, The Bronx
  
• First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York, Manhattan
  
• First Presbyterian Church of Whitestone, Queens
  
• Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn
• Second Presbyterian Church, Manhattan
  
• West End Presbyterian Church, Manhattan
• Westminster-Bethany Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn
  

In addition, four of our twenty-one participants are minister members of the Presbytery of New York City. We'll be learning more about each other as the trip begins.
