May 1, 2022 Announcements
This month’s mission collection is for the Pentecost Offering. The Pentecost Offering is unique in that each congregation directs 40% of what they receive for ministries to benefit children at risk within their own communities. The remaining 60% supports mission through advocating for children at risk (10%), guiding youth by supporting ministries like the Presbyterian Youth Triennium (25%), and supporting Young Adult Volunteers serving in communities around the world (25%). Our 40% will be given to The South End Children’s Café in Albany. The mission of the South End Children's Cafe is to impact food security, address food equality and food justice, enhance academic success and positively influence the physical and mental health of children by offering free, healthy meals along with homework help, academic enrichment, mentoring, exercise and participation in the arts. At noon on Thursday, May 19, a Bible Study is being offered by Albany Presbytery’s Anti-Racism Task Force based on the book “We Cry Justice: Reading the Bible with the Poor People’s Campaign.” If you are interested, register online at bit.ly/WeCryEastertide Sunday, June 5 is Children’s Day and the last day of Sunday School.

"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."
