In response to the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, on Sunday, July 14 at 11:15 am at Middle Collegiate Church, our multiracial congregation, will wear hoodies in memory of Trayvon Martin and those who like him who have been killed. Congregants will be invited to wear their hoodies as the church prays for the healing of our nation.
Senior minister, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis said, "I am devastated by this verdict. In our confusion and in our grief it is time to gather in God’s house to pray and support each other. As generations before us, we must gather to be rooted in our faith and work toward peace and healing for our country."
The New York City Marble Cemetery invites you to visit on our Neighborhood Open Day on SUNDAY JULY 14th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

13 Portals is an interactive street art experience to be discovered in abandoned doorways on the sidewalks of New York City’s East Village this Summer, 2013. New York based artist, Nicolina & Brazilian artist Pérola M. Bonfanti seek to unite street art, technology and alchemy in these hand painted portals.
The project welcomes and invites open participation by all. Its objective is to “pass" through the series of 13 portals beginning by scanning a unique QR code on each piece. Once the code is scanned the participant will be prompted to answer a question, or complete a task, each with escalating difficulty or complexity. Once each task is accomplished, the subsequent portal’s location is revealed, and the participant directed to it. Each portal must be visited and cracked in order, before the participant can pass through the 13th, and final portal. Once all 13 portals have been completed, the shroud of mystery behind the works will be lifted, and the 13 portals’ esoteric secrets unlocked.
