During this year’s Week of Christian Unity, the Covenant Committee and Pastors of St. Mary-Stony Hill and Wilson Memorial came together and signed the Covenant Agreement. The agreement reads: In God’s sight, we, the congregations of St. MaryStony Hill Church and Mary E. Wilson Memorial Union Church of Watchung, NJ, having met together through ecumenical committee for a year, and in consideration of the fact that we have prayed together for more than ten years, have come to the realization that God calls us to unity. There is no intention of joining our two separate congregations except in sharing the objectives established below and working together toward their realization. This agreement is for a period of one year and to be renewed with the consent of both congregations on a yearly basis.
