All Souls Church in Stony Brook to hold Service of Thanksgiving in aftermath of storm
Members of the Stony Brook community are invited to attend a brief “Service of Thanksgiving” on Saturday, August 24 in front of Historic All Souls Church, 61 Main Street, Stony Brook beginning at 1 pm. Clergy and members of the community will share their reflections and prayers. All are welcome.
The ten inches of rain that fell on Stony Brook Sunday night/Monday morning burst the dam separating the Duck Pond and Stony Brook Harbor, drained the pond, and destroyed Harbor Road and Old Mill Creek Road. Although the dam broke in 1750, again in the 1800s, and in 1910, this is the first time the village has seen such a catastrophe in our lifetimes.
Amidst all the destruction and loss, no one died, and the village we all love will survive and recover.
