Interested in finding out more about First Pres? Have you been worshiping with us and are interested in learning about becoming a member? If so, please contact Pastor Miriam (mleupold@firstpresalbany.org or 518-449-7332). She will be zooming/meeting with interested people, exploring their hopes and dreams for where they can serve God.

Equinox has been serving Thanksgiving dinners for more than fifty years. While over the years, many of those dinners were served at our church, this year, the dinner will be prepared by restaurants, and delivered by volunteers. This is quite an operation, as they serve more than 10,000 meals! Jesus fed 5000 from five loaves and two fishes, but to get turkey and the fixings to 10,000 requires funds and logistics support. The Social Justice & Peacemaking Committee provided a donation from the congregation, but urges individual members to get involved. You can donate, or sign up to volunteer at: thotline@equinoxinc.org

Finger Labyrinth Walks and Meditations occur each Thursday
through November (except 11/24) at 12:30pm via Zoom. Pastor Miriam, Certified Advanced Labyrinth Facilitator, leads each session, and our time together is 30 minutes. This time is open to all, whether you’ve walked a labyrinth in the past or not. Register here to receive the zoom link. Please have a Finger Labyrinth available - you can download a paper version if you don’t have your own or contact Jamie in the church office. Join us!

Twins' day?
Was it twins' day at First Pres this past Sunday? Carol Green and Sue Haney compared their choice of red and black plaid while they chatted during fellowship time.

If you have a prayer concern or a prayer need that you would like to have lifted in prayer on a continuing basis, please remember the prayer chain. You can email a request to firstpresprayer@yahoo.com or call the church office (518-449-7332). These will be forwarded to the First Pres prayer chain, a group of people that have committed to pray for the needs of others as they arise. These requests for prayer are separate and/or different from the “prayers of the people” that are wonderfully available each Sunday.
Please send any prayer requests to Jamie to be included in worship on Sunday.
