Do you care about creation in this time of global warming? Do you see a connection between environmental stewardship and the Christian faith? You are invited to join in a 5-part study on consecutive Wednesdays at 1 p.m. through November 18.  We are using resources from a series called Being Reformed, and our class title is Stewardship of Creation.  Please contact the church office to sign up. This class is led by Glenn Leupold.
 
  You are encouraged to vote in the upcoming general election.
 
Vote Early!   (Now through Sunday, November 1^st)
If you want to make sure your vote is counted with all the other votes that are cast on Election Day, but do not want to go to the polls in person on Election Day, one option is to vote early in person at any of the following early voting locations:

• Albany County Board of Elections, 224 South Pearl St, Albany  (the old DMV building on South Pearl St with lots of parking)
• Pine Grove United Methodist Church, 1580 Central Ave, Albany  (this is actually in Colonie, a little past the Northway on the left)
• Boght Community Fire Department, 8 Preston Dr, Cohoes
• Berne Volunteer Fire Company, 30 Canaday Hill Rd, Berne
• Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 85 Elm Ave, Delmar
• Guilderland Fire Department, 2303 Western Ave, Guilderland

(confirmed with Elections Commissioner Matt Clyne that any registered voter in the City of Albany can vote early at any of the 6 early voting locations listed above between October 24^th and November 1st.)
Hours for early voting at all early voting locations are:
Saturday & Sunday: 9am-2pm
Monday & Wednesday: Noon-8pm
Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 9am-5pm
 
This gives you 9 different days to vote and an ability to pick which day, time and location is most convenient for you.
