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.


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

Rev. E.J. Emerson obituary

The Consistory of New Utrecht Reformed Church mourns the passing of our Pastor, Rev. EJ Emerson.  She lived in the light of God's word.

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.

A Note from Pastor EJ

NURC leadership has come together, prayerfully, to talk about returning safely to in-person worship, in this time of Covid 19.  Because the situation is still fluid, there is no date set as yet for opening.  The welfare of the congregation and the community is important.  There will be procedures in place once Sunday Service resumes.  Updates will be on the website.

Thank you for your faithfulness and may you continue to feel God’s love in your life.

With loving prayers from Consistory and Pastor



Blessings to you as you visit our website to learn more about New Utrecht Reformed, especially during this challenging time. Because we are all staying home as wisely instructed by officials, the church building is not being used for public worship until it is once again safe to gather together in person. In the prayerful hope that this will encourage and bless you, my weekly sermon will be posted on the website for all to share.

As the prophet Isaiah says, God tells each and every one of us: “Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
