Epiphany Bonfire: Friday, January 6th, 6-8pm

1/3/2017

0 Comments

 

All are welcome...

Picture
UPDATE:
     Epiphany, January 6, is a Christian holiday celebrating the revelation of God in his Son, coming to earth as the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In Western Christianity, the feast remembers the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child. When the Magi looked upon the child their minds were opened, they were given greater understanding, and “they worshipped him.” The themes of light, understanding and seeing are part of the Epiphany commemoration. The gospel writer John refers to Jesus as the light of the world, who came to earth to overcome the darkness.
      As a way of representing this power of light over darkness, we held an EPIPHANY BONFIRE at Taconic.  We had a brief discussion of the meaning of Epiphany, followed by a huge     bonfire, lots of snacks, and good fellowship.
Thank you Jake for building a great bonfire!

     For those who we missed at the Gala, or those interested in re-living it, you can now view the award speeches on Youtube! We were pleased to award Rev. Jay Bergers with the Founder's Award, and Rev. Dr. V. Seymour Cole with the Sustainer's Award. We were also very blessed to hear their words.
     Rev. Jay Bergers served as the founding chairman of the Taconic board of directors when the property was purchased in 1966 and then served as Taconic's Executive Director for almost 30 years.
     Rev. Dr. V. Seymour Cole served as an essential leader on both Taconic's board of directors and on various teams and committee's of the Metro New York District Church of the Nazarene that were instrumental in the growth, development, and flourishing of Taconic.

Rev. Dr. Seymour Cole (Sustainer's Award)

9/28/2016

0 Comments

 
     We are pleased to announce a new addition to the Taconic 50th Gala. As you may have gleaned from the title, Rev. Dr. Seymoure Cole will be present to receive recognition for his incredible leadership and influence over decades at Taconic Retreat. We are proud to announce the "Sustainer's Award" that will be presented to Rev Dr Seymour Cole. Dr. Cole was one of our key sustainers here at Taconic for many years. He is also the founder pastor of Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene.
     Having studied in the Midwest, Rev. Cole came to New York to found the Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene. In the first 13 years of the church, Rev. Cole commuted from Connecticut (Approximately 60 miles each way), in order to ensure the establishment and growth of the church. Rev. Cole tirelessly and effectively pastored this congregation for 36 years before retiring in 2000.
     Rev. Cole similarly helped sustain and build Taconic for many years. We are eternally grateful for the commitment he has shown Taconic, his church, and most importantly God's Kingdom. We are very excited for this new addition to our Gala!
