The Greenville Community Church, located on Ardsley Road in the Edgemont section of town will celebrate the beginning of their 175th anniversary this Sunday, November 6 with a service at 10 AM. The beginning of the church dates back to 1840 when a handful of Dutch farmers had a vision of a place of worship for the community. They were “long on faith and sacrifice, short on worldly goods.” A local tavern owner by the name of Gilbert Underhill offered them his “tap room” as a place for them to worship. Mr. Underhill’s interest in this group and his generosity continued to grow. In March of 1842 he deeded them enough property for a church building along with an adjacent cemetery. The small group contracted to build a church the first church to be built in Scarsdale, New York.

Holocaust survivor Ed Lessing concluded a long successful career as a graphic designer years ago. Today, at age 90, he continues to document his memories of war torn Holland and time spent in Israel before coming to the U.S. In Now & Then his Holocaust memories, landscapes and loving portraits of family members are all equally moving. Lessing’s singular watercolor language employs graphics, text and close observation to great effect.
