Wednesday, July 24: Community Board 4 Full Board Meeting | It’s a love letter to anyone who’s ever come across construction in their neighborhood and said, “But nobody told me about that.” CB4 meetings provide early warnings for things to come, as the board reviews and debates everything from rezoning to liquor license renewal requests. It’s quality quality-of-life info at the ready, and no CB4 meeting has more to offer in that area than the monthly full board meeting, where committee letters go to the full board for a vote. Show up a bit before start time, and sign up for the Public Comment section, where you get the mic for 2 minutes, and can take that opportunity to make your voice heard. Wed., July 24, 6:30pm at Hudson Guild (441 W. 26th St. btw. 9th & 10th Aves.). For more info visit CB4 by clicking here.

Sunday Services with Chelsea Community Church | Chelsea Community Church was founded by lay people in 1975 and has never had a regular pastor (they do have a part-time pastoral counselor). As result of not having a regular pastor, they have a variety of guest speakers in the pulpit. The congregation meets weekly, Sundays at 12pm, except for August through Labor Day; weekly services start again Sept. 8. At St. Peter’s Church (346 W. 20th St., btw. 8th & 9th Aves.)

July 28, in the pulpit will be Rev. Miriam Gross (Lutheran), pastor of the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Paul in Chelsea. Her previous pastorates include Lutheran churches in Franconia and Munich, Germany, and a Reformed church in Orkney, Scotland. She earned a master of theology degree at Univesitat Erlangen in Germany, and another theological degree from the Church of Scotland. Currently pursuing a doctor of ministry degree at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., she teaches at the German School in White Plains one day a week and maintains a blog, Church and Society. Special Music: Anthony Santelmo Jr. For more info, visit chelseachurch.org.
