A poem in remembrance of Rev. E.J. Emerson

When New Utrecht Reformed Church returned to in person worship on September 13, 2020, Mary Shields read aloud her poem about the loss of our beloved pastor, Rev. E.J. Emerson. We want to share Mary’s poem with the community and with the greater church. Please see the poem below.

Rev. E.J. Emerson – Our Remembrance of You

E.J. had the soul of a poet, so it is most fitting for her to be remembered in poetry.

A message from Susan Hanyen

With great sadness, we at New Utrecht Reformed Church report that our beloved pastor, Rev. EJ Emerson, died August 7, 2020, in hospital. Rev. EJ touched so many lives. She was a woman of great faith and we are certain that she is in the hands of the Lord now. Please pray for her family, her friends and her church community as we remember her life and her goodness.
