Consecration Sunday Is Coming
Sunday, October 28
Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical
perspective do not view the money Christians give to their church merely as
a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congregations see financial contributions
as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God by
supporting their church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of their
incomes. Our congregation’s stewardship committee has selected the
Consecration Sunday Stewardship Program as a way to teach the biblical
and spiritual principles of generous giving in our stewardship education
emphasis this year.
Consecration Sunday is based on the biblical philosophy of the need of
the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development, rather than
on the need of the church to receive. Instead of treating people like
members of a social club who should pay dues, we will treat people like
followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of
discipleship. Consecration Sunday encourages people toward
proportionate and systematic giving in response to the question, “What
percentage of my income is God calling me to give?”
“… on this rock I will build my
church.” Matthew 16:18.

During morning worship (at 9:30) on Consecration Sunday, October 28, we
are asking our attendees and members to make their financial commitments
to our church’s missionary, benevolent, and educational ministries in this
community and around the world. Every attendee and member who
completes an Estimate of Giving Card does so voluntarily by attending
morning worship on Consecration Sunday. (We urge people to attend who
feel strongly opposed to completing a card. The procedure is done in such a
way that no one feels personal embarrassment if he or she chooses not to fill
out a card.) We will do no home solicitation to ask people to complete cards.
During morning worship our guest leader will conduct a brief period of
instruction and inspiration, climaxed by members making their commitments
as a confidential act of worship. We will encourage participation in
Consecration Sunday events through the Consecration Sunday team and
governing board members. Since we will make no follow-up visits to ask
people to complete their cards, we will make every effort to inform, inspire,
and commit everyone to attend Consecration Sunday worship.
Thanks in advance for your enthusiastic participation in Consecration
Sunday events.
Sincerely,
Garrett DeGraff
Stewardship Committee Chairperson

We are moving forward in our implementation of Session’s visioning process
begun in February. One of the Ministry Priorities that was identified at that
time was the Music Ministry. The Administration Committee met with Music
Director, Victor Klimash, to discuss ways to develop further the music
ministry of First Pres. Development strategies include the following:
beginning a Bell Choir, using more instrumentalists in worship services (we
have great talent within our congregation), scheduling more outside musical
groups to use our building, creating fellowship opportunities centered on
music (e.g. Coffee House), continuing to expand the use of new music in the
choir repertoire, including the words of more musical pieces in the bulletin.
As the choir returned to singing in September, they were given the
opportunity to participate in Adult Education or in the teaching of our children
and youth education with the cancellation of the 9:30 Sunday Chancel Choir
rehearsal. This also allows those people who had chosen Adult Education
over singing in the choir the opportunity to do both. The choir has a warm up
at 10:20 on Sunday mornings in Assembly Hall. As mentioned in the
September newsletter, the Administration Committee has received from the
Christian Education Committee the job descriptions for someone to
coordinate the Christian Education of children and youth in the church – a
vital ministry within our church. Administration will be exploring ways to staff
that area along with the Small Group Ministry area. It is exciting to see the
visioning process being lived out in our midst as we seek to be the church
God calls us to be.
Mission Workday
This summer, Roscoe, NY, suffered significant flood damage from heavy rain.
35 homes and businesses needed to be "mucked out", relief language for
stripping a house of damaged material after a flood. While almost all of that
work is complete, they have asked for help with debris removal from the town
site and planting along the river edge.
"Mucking out" is harder work because it is work that is focused on what has
been lost. Doing rebuilding and construction is much more enjoyable because
it is an act of giving a community a new future.
In response to a call for help, First Pres will be doing a workday on Saturday,
October 13. This one-day mission event is a great way to let the love of God be
known by doing acts of love. We will meet at the church around 8 am and carpool to Roscoe (with our lunches packed), working till around 5 or 6 pm and
drive home, arriving back at First Pres around 7 pm. This will give us a fairly
good length of time to help them out. We can bring shovels, work gloves,
water/waterbottles, sun hat/sunscreen, saw, dirt rake. If you don't have tools,
that's OK. If it is raining, we'll cancel. Let Glenn know if you are interested
(449-7332 or gleupold@firstpresalbany.org) so we can tell the people there
how many to expect!

We were glad to be in God’s company and each
other’s — over 150 of us.
Homecoming
And the party continued. Dotting the Assembly
Room were white covered tables, and down one
side, serving tables filled with sandwiches,
pickles, ice cream bars, and all the good foods
that spell p-i-c-n-i-c. Small children ran around
on the stage as their parents and others shared
conversations filled with news of the last few
months and what lies ahead for First Pres. It was
community at its best. Actually, when one thinks
about it, homecoming is where the people are —
inside or out really doesn’t matter.
Picnic is a State of Mind – and Spirit
By Judy Mark
It rained. A welcome, needed rain. But we had,
indeed, been looking forward to having worship and
a picnic in Washington Park to celebrate the return
of our First Pres “flock” after a summer of rest and
relaxation. Yet, the dampness outside did not
affect our spirits in the least as we gathered in the
Sanctuary for song, the Word, and Communion.
The Assembly Hall was filled with picnickers . . . .
… and with an abundance of picnic
food.

Un Viaje de Amistad, Labor y Entender
A Journey of Friendship, Work, and Understanding
From Albany to San Juan Ostuncalco, Guatemala
By Alice Schrade
Trip participants: Matt Haller, Melanie Mayberry, Marilyn
Riddle, Alice Schrade, Irving Smith (First Presbyterian,
Albany); Rev. Kathy Gorman Coombs and son Kyle, Beverly
Burnett (Trinity Presbyterian, Scotia); Rev. Rick Hill
(Schoharie Presbyterian); Rev. Alexandra Lusak (Troy
United Presbyterian); Kim Koza and daughter Jess.
We were a group of twelve when we left Albany,
joined by three others in Guatemala City: Dania and
Emerson, our leaders, and Raul, our Turismo bus
driver.
The Mission Team from First Pres on the
Sunday of their commissioning
After an orientation at the offices of CEDEPCA
(Centro Evangélico de Estudios Pastorales en
Centro América), we drove to a park where there
was a huge relief map with volcanoes, mountains,
and lakes of Guatemala, which we viewed from small
towers. There we became oriented to the vast
magnificence of Guatemala’s highlands and
lowlands.
We had two purposes in traveling to Guatemala as a
group from the Albany Presbytery: 1) to review and
renegotiate our partnership with IENPG (National
Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Guatemala), and
2) to construct a chicken coop. Irving, on the trip two
years ago, had promised to return to help Salome’s
youth group with a project. That was it – chicken
coop construction! We came in the rainy season. It
was cold and damp, and we trekked up and down
and through muddy cornfields that bordered our
quarters and the area where the chicken coops were
built.
After breakfast we began our work. We gathered
wood for stakes, dug holes, picked apples, and even
Raul, our bus driver, joined the team and excavated
a trench for concrete blocks. The area under the
coop needed grading. We learned to use tools in a
way we had never imagined. They showed us that
the machete has a variety of useful purposes.
Marilyn bought a post-hole digger in town, and we
discovered that it was as strange to them as the
machete was to us. On our last day together we
offered lap top computers to the youth and found that
their facility with our technological tool matched our
skills with their tool of choice.

Trabajamos juntos, jugamos juntos, reímos juntos: el
comienzo de amistad. -- We work together, we play
together, we laugh together: the beginning of friendship.
We joined the youth of their church and together we
mixed and wheeled cement to the site. Each day the
church women brought us soup, tortillas, and a case
of soda. One day in the pouring rain three women
carrying water from the restaurant slid down the hill
with the soup pot, along with the case of soda a
young man had been carrying on his head. The
poignancy of the situation was matched only by their
kindness and generosity to us.
Indigenous people make a kind of corn gruel, which
served as a morning snack along with corn on the
cob (more like field corn than what we are used to at
the local farm stand). Alice helped in the kitchen,
grinding, stirring, sifting, and stoking the fire: all part
of the working day for Guatemalan girls and women.
The First Presbyterian
Cooperative chicken coop construction
A Guatemalan displays her goods at the
local market.
Then the pot was carried to the work site up the
muddy hill for everyone to share.
Before any work could begin, everything had to be
checked with a level and a plumb line. There is an
art to building chicken coops. One evening we
listened to a short homily on plumb lines. At the
end of each day we gathered for reflection and to
discuss our progress toward achieving our goals.
Kathy Gorman-Coombs offered a workshop for the
girls and women of the church on domestic
violence. The conversation and smiles we shared
with the Mam women and the youth brought us all
closer together as women, young and old. We
made drawings to show what we do on a daily
basis. We laughed together as we discovered that
most of us have to make coffee in the morning, first
thing, but they don’t set their pots on a timer.
On Saturday when we had completed our work, we
set out for a meeting with the Mam Presbytery. The
chicken coop was nearly finished with the roof on
when we packed up, cleaned up the mud, and
boarded our bus for the presbytery office, not a great
distance but a two-hour journey with road blocks,
mud slides and construction.
We had been assured that the officers of the
executive council were expecting us, but, as it turned
out, our arrival was a bit of a surprise. However,
under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, everyone who
was supposed to be there arrived. The meeting was
long, and it soon became clear that the agreement
was not to be signed that day and that we would
begin again to redefine our relationship with the Mam
Presbytery. Their offices and staff are not set up like
ours. E-mails are not read daily and staff comes in
maybe once a week. Communications are difficult in
English, Spanish, and Mam, in vastly different
cultures, and in the delicate negotiations and cultural
protocol needed to develop a firm relationship and a
binding friendship. It doesn’t happen in a moment
between groups. Individually, when one soul meets
another and sees its partner in the soul of a brother
or sister, it can happen. However, bureaucracy, an
imbalance of money, and inequality of power are
barriers that we still need to overcome.
The men of the executive council of the Mam
Presbytery are interested in continuing to develop a
relationship with the Albany Presbytery. The travelers
are ready for another trip, and we all are grateful for
our congregations who held us in their prayers while
we were gone. We are all looking forward to talking
with groups in our various churches about our trip.
Alice stirs the pot under the watchful eye of a
Guatemalan friend.

The Annual Equinox Thanksgiving Day
Community Dinner
A Special Volunteer Opportunity
By Carol Bullard
For more than three decades, First Presbyterian
Church has offered Equinox space to host the
Annual Thanksgiving Day Community Dinner, and
from our church each year more than 500
individuals are served a sit-down Thanksgiving
meal that brings guests and volunteers together to
share and give thanks in our community. It is truly
a joyous feast!
While some members of our church have for
years generously and spontaneously given of
their time and talent to this event, this year the
Mission Committee would like to pull together a
group of interested volunteers who would have
the unique assignment of “shadowing” the Church
Site Coordinator for a designated period of time
on one of the days leading up to Thanksgiving
(when all the planning and preparation takes
place), on Thanksgiving Day itself (serving 500plus meals), or on the day after Thanksgiving
(clean-up operation). The goal would be to
provide assistance to the Coordinator as
needed, but also to help us at First Pres get a
better idea of what actually goes into
coordinating and carrying out this major event.
Shortly after Thanksgiving, the “shadowing”
group would meet with members of the Mission
Committee to share what they had learned from
their shadowing experience.
FOCUS Breakfast Program
Specifically, we would like to find 6-8 individuals
willing to roll up their sleeves and devote one
day (or a half of the day on Thanksgiving) to the
project on any one of the following dates:
November 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. If you are
seeking a new challenge and one that will put
you in direct contact with people from all walks
of life who come together in thanks, please
contact Carol Bullard, 463-8256 (evenings and
weekends).
The 2007 – 2008 FOCUS Breakfast Program
will open on Tuesday, October 30th, beginning
the 24th year of our cold weather emergency
feeding program for the poor and needy of
downtown Albany. Bring or wear orange and
black – clothing and treats - since the program
will be celebrating Halloween during that first
week back.
October 7 is
Peacemaking Sunday
and World Communion
Sunday
If you would like to know more about this
program and are considering helping out,
consider yourself invited to the FOCUS
Breakfast Program’s Fall Luncheon on Friday,
October 26, 12 – 1 p.m., at Westminster
Presbyterian Church on State Street. Parking is
available at 85 Chestnut, beside the church.
This event will welcome new volunteers and
provide a quick overview of the program, as well
as offer returning volunteers a chance to
reconnect with team members and get back in
the breakfast program
groove. Please contact program
coordinator Kathy Linhardt
(Tutmans@aol.com or 518-265-4967) by
October 15.
Christians around the world will be sharing the
Lord's Supper, creating a global statement of
solidarity and witness. To share this act of
rememberance around the world reminds us
that we are not Africans, Europeans, Asians or
North and South Americans. Rather, we are
beloved children of God, forgiven and
accepted in order to love one another and tell
the world of God's gracious love. And what
better day than Word Communion Sunday to
work toward peace in the world by receiving
the Peacemaking Offering in worship. This
offering is used by First Pres as well as around
our nation and around the world by our
denomination. Please be generous, as peace
is sorely needed these days.

The First Presbyterian
Committee Night
Flock Celebrates Summer
at the Sperrys’
Session voted at its August meeting to try a new
way of scheduling committee meetings.
“Committee Night” will be held the first Tuesday of
the month and will involve seven committees that
meet on a regular basis. In this arrangement there
will be two committee sessions with a meal in
between.
By Keith Barber
The Downtown/North Albany Flock wrapped up
summer with a wonderful pot luck picnic at Sarah
and Adam Sperry's home on Edgewood Avenue.
The weather cooperated, and it was warm enough
to enjoy dining in the screened-in back porch, yet
cool enough to be fully comfortable. It was an
evening of good food, good conversation, and the
company of people we like a lot.
The following advantages were cited for such a
schedule: an opportunity for fellowship, a way to
accommodate Elders and other members who
serve on two committees, a means to communicate
among committees dealing with the same issue, an
opportunity for the Co-Pastors to be available as
requested by Committee chairs, a more efficent
use of pastoral time, and an opportunity to carpool.
Four other committees (Administration, Finance,
Nominating and Stewardship) which meet less or
more frequently or more seasonally, will not be
included in the new scheme. Session will evaluate
this process in January. The schedule is below.

Chapel Choir Notes
By Fiona McKinney
Our first rehearsal this season was Monday,
September 17, 6:30 pm. Monday evenings will be our
regular rehearsal time. The Chapel Choir music is
organized in individual folders, and most of the music
for the year has been selected, but there is always
opportunity for chorister input.
My experience at Temple Berith Shalom in Troy, where
I was solist for the fall High Holy days, opened a new
world of musical tradition to me, some of which will be
incorporated into our Chapel Choir repertoire.
The Chapel Choir’s first appearance will be on October
21 at both the 8:30 and 10:45 services. We’ll see you
then!
Come to a Potluck Supper fellowship!
October 19, 6 pm in the Rose Room.
Seated around the table at a previous gathering are (clockwise)
Lois Cameron, Tim O’Toole, Gladys Crowder, Katie Henrikson,
Sue Holmes, and Jack Homes

The Chapel Choir starts a new season under
the direction of Fiona McKinney. Britany
Orlebeke and Fiona McKinney perform here
with a group of choirsters: Annabel Lewis,
Araglin Kite, Mackenzie Robinson, and
Margaret Leupold.

Pause Here a Moment • • •
By the Rev. Glenn Leupold
The laws of physics dictate that for every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction. Far too many times this law
spills over into the arena of human affairs. We push the
limits of technology, press to higher speeds, deeper oceans,
and further into space. We drive the limits of human
endurance to say we were there - Everest, the North and
South Poles, the Moon – and someday, Mars. There are
people looking into the process for cloning human beings.
Someone will do it - just to be first. We do learn in the effort.
But, there is often a backlash. Scott did not live to return
from the South Pole. The men of Apollo 13 and the space
station have had their own near misses with the vacuum of
space. The astronauts of two Space Shuttles and a few of
the Russian cosmonauts have passed into eternity in their
efforts.
It is the competitive spirit in humanity that seeks to push
back the envelope just a little further. At its best, it drives us
to learn to save lives, reap more per acre, and reach for
Don Quixote's farthest star from The Impossible Dream. At
its worst it drives society to grapple for political, economic,
social or financial power at the expense of the powerless.
All the more interesting that Jesus didn’t let this quality
disqualify Judas from being a disciple. Judas saw Jesus as
the Messiah King who would throw off the Roman yoke and
free Israel. But the Lord had set higher sights.
Did You Know?
. . . that the Joseph Henry window is
found in the Assembly Hall and is in
memory of the scientist who studied
electromagnetism? Son of a laborer, he
was accepted into Albany Academy on
scholarship, where the child prodigy was
soon assisting in teaching science
lessons.
Henry was the first Secretary and later a
Director of the Smithsonian Institution,
and also a President of the National
Academy of Science. Mr. Henry was
baptized in the First Presbyterian Church
of Albany.
Whenever I find myself jealous of the disciples and think
that, if I had been one of them, surely I would have all my
questions answered and my faith would be absolute, I think
of Judas. For the better part of three years, he walked and
talked and sat at the feet of Jesus. Instead of
understanding what Jesus was about, he hoped Jesus
would take the throne of David. It seems that being a
disciple is no guarantee at all.
Judas was hoping to be Treasurer or maybe head of the
Federal Reserve in Jesus’ administration. Judas tried to
make God do it his way - the way Judas thought it should
happen. During the Last Supper, Jesus had told him, "Do
quickly what you must.” Judas departed with his plan in
motion, but it was not God's plan after all. In the morning,
Judas returned to the religious leaders grief stricken and
searching for answers. These were the same men who had
paid him for Jesus betrayal. Again, Judas' plan. God's plan
is for us to turn to God for help in those times. Generally,
God points us to God’s self. Sometimes God will lead us to
a friend, but that friend will be pointing us through our pain
to Jesus. In the end, Judas' plan cost him his life. Judas'
enormous action had an equally enormous reaction.

Have you enjoyed Visiting First
Presbyterian? Do you like what you
see? Are you wondering how you can
become a part of this?
Of special interest in October is the Anthem that
will be presented on Sunday, October 20: Let all
the People Praise Thee, O God by Willam
Matthias. It was originally composed in 1981 for
the wedding of HRH Phillip, Prince of Wales to
Lady Diana Spencer.
To find out more about First Pres and how to become a
member, plan to attend the Inquirers’ Seminar on
Sundays, October 14 and 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
in the Library. Register to attend by calling the Church
Office (449-7332). If you have any questions contact CoPastors Miriam and Glenn at the church.
Bells at First Presbyterian
Are you interested in offering
hospitality to church members and
visitors on Sunday mornings at First
Pres?
First Presbyterian Church has a rich history of
music making, and one of the legacies we
would like to once again enjoy is the sound of a
bell choir. Therefore, we would like to revive
the bell choir tradition, too long absent from our
church. People who have an interest in taking
part in this kind of musical experience are
asked to speak with Victor Klimash either in
person, or by calling the church and leaving a
message (449-7332). Come ring!
If so, consider signing up to be on an usher/greeter team.
You would usher and greet once every two months,
offering hospitality to people worshiping. If you’re
interested please let Sandra know in the Church Office
(info@firstpresalbany.org or 449-7332).
