It’s this website’s prerogative to change its mind–or at least change formats. That’s why all of the activities you’ve enjoyed reading about in our “Today in Chelsea” section are now to be found here, fresh every Monday, in our “This Week in Chelsea” section. Keep checking this page throughout the week, because we’ll be adding new content often (listings get moved to last in cue, after the event happens). Oh, and you’ll also notice, sometimes we go outside the strictly speaking realm of Chelsea for events we’re especially fond of. Oh, that “prerogative” thing: is there anything it can’t (be made to) do?

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. Coming up at the 12 noon Sunday worship services, meeting in St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Chelsea (346 W. 20th St., btw. 8th & 9th Aves.): On June 16, the special guest is Rev. F. Romall Smalls (Baptist), an associate minister for social justice at Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon who also serves as a senior affiliate chaplain at New York University (working with the Student Christian Movement and with Judson Memorial Church). Smalls is co-chair of LGBT Faith Leaders of African Descent, and a contributing writer for Religion News Service. For more info, visit www.chelseachurch.org.

Please bring your own reusable shopping bag, or buy one from them.  Candice, of  Stoneledge Farm, notes, “Refrigerators will be full of greens this week. There is nothing that can beat salad spinner this time of year! The fresh salad harvest is always so tasty. This week is the final week for transplants. This week’s transplant will be oregano. It can be potted indoors or, out. Use as needed by cutting the stems. It is great to have fresh oregano always on hand. Also in your share will be Red Mustard Greens, Mizuna along with Arugula. These are great chopped and added to a salad, or cooked on their own as a side dish.” Note: The market runs every Wednesday, 8-9:30am, through November.
