The Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) will be offering two EPA Renovator trainings for both the months of August and September.  These are great opportunities for individuals in the construction field as well as home and property owners.  Additionally, these trainings will be broken up into two sessions combining web based distance instruction and small group work at their Voorheesville office.  If you know anyone that would be interested please have them sign-up as soon as possible.  These trainings often fill-up quickly.

“What can I do to help combat the Plague of Violence that is happening in our city?” If you believe in the power of prayer, join us.

Carolyn McLaughlin is inviting women of faith to meet her in Lincoln Park next Saturday, August 29th at 9:00 am, to tear down the Albany Jericho Wall with a 7 lap Praying March around Lincoln Park!!

You can walk one lap or any number of laps. We will be praying as we walk to tear down the wall of violence that is attempting to take over our city. If you just want to bring a chair and sit and pray while the rest of us walk, we need you too. When you don’t know what to do, PRAY!  Without ceasing.

...If my people who are called by My Name would humble themselves and pray, seek My Face, turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land...

We are looking for all women who are asking “What can I do?” If you believe in the power of prayer, join us. Not looking for quantity, but prayer warriors ready to pray for our city!

We will practice social distancing protocols including wearing masks.

2020 Census

We've only counted about 50% of our population - and that's just what the federal government wants to see. Now's the time to make our voices heard and reverse that trend.
