Our Sunday worship service is at 10:00 a.m. in person,
including Sunday School for kids. After worship we have a time for fellowship. The CDC currently rates Albany County with medium community spread, so masks are recommended, not required, indoors. The middle pews are open. The side pews (next to the windows) are taped off for those who would like to maintain social distancing. No objects, like offering plates or communion elements, are being passed hand-to-hand. If you cannot join us in person, recorded worship from previous weeks is available (see below). |

September 25, 2022 Announcements
Season of Creation: This is the third of four weeks celebrating the Season of Creation. It is Cosmos Sunday. New banner: Thanks to our Sunday School children for the lovely banner reminding us that “We are all God’s children!” Mission collection: September is for the Theological Education Fund of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Gifts help ensure that every church has a seminary-trained pastor. Food Pantry: This Sunday is our monthly collection for the New Scotland Community Food Pantry and “Cents-ability.” There is a box in the lobby for your donations of non-perishable food items, paper goods, or personal care products. There is also a basket for monetary contributions to Cents-ability. Cents-ability encourages us to contribute at least 2 cents per person for each meal we eat, to remind us of the needs of others and our call to respond as Christians to their hunger. Contributions support the food pantry and Heifer Project. Membership Anniversary Celebration, Next Sunday, October 2: We will celebrate those who have been members for fifty years or more. We will celebrate during the morning worship service, followed by festivities in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to join us! Blessing of the Animals, Next Sunday, October 2 at 4:00 pm: We conclude the Season of Creation with this special worship. All are invited to bring your pet, or to bring a photo of your pet if travel is not possible. Please invite your friends and neighbors to join us! We will meet behind the church for a short prayer service and fellowship. Go Solar for Electricity: Last year, our church enrolled in a community solar farm run by Solstice and we invite interested members and friends to do the same. We wanted to lessen our carbon footprint and save on our bills. You can do that, too! Solstice donates $100 to New Scotland Presbyterian for every friend of the church that joins, on top of the $100 enrollment bonus that you will receive when you join. There are links to check out Solstice online or call 866-826-1997. Clothing Drive: During the month of October we will be collecting women’s and men’s gently-used fall and winter clothing which will be sent to the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless in Albany and the Patients-in-Need Closet at St. Peters Hospital. New Fair Trade Chocolate! Fair trade items are for sale in the lobby. All items are at cost and include coffee, tea, chocolate and olive oil. The church office is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 am to noon |

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."
