He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

These words Micah 6:8 have long been NYAPC’s unofficial statement of faith and mission, wrapped up in one poetic verse. So much so that years ago, we hung banners with these words on both sides of our building. In fact, many of us have stories of people noticing the banners, of friends and visitors who say “that’s what I want a church to stand for.”
From time to time, these banners need repair! Wear and tear have damaged the banners and brackets, and one had to be removed. Replacing them is not in our 2026 budget, but what better time for our church to refresh these banners, these words, for anyone who passes by?
Can you help? Communications Manager Kirstin Beck has found a vendor to replace the banners and install new, reinforced brackets. And we already have $3500 pledged toward an estimated cost of $13,000.
If 20 people give $500 each, or if 40 give $250 each, we’ll have what we need, but that is not in everyone’s budget. All gifts are valued: Some will give less, so we ask those who can to give more.
To donate, send a check with “banner fund” in the memo line or choose “banner fund” in the online giving drop down menu. If we are so fortunate to have more than we need, the money will go toward other signage that makes our church more welcoming and visible to all.
Thank you!
