Historically, Drive In services are held during the summer months, beginning May 1st, we conduct an outdoor service in addition to our regular indoor service. Worshipers stay in their cars or sit in the adjacent Clee Park while the minister preaches from an outdoor pulpit. This half-hour service is popular both with families with children and the elderly as well as for those who may be new to church.
A variety of guest musicians provide a ministry of music each Sunday-- from bagpipers and brass musicians to folk guitarists and singers. Each year the Drive-in Committee designates the offering to go to a special ministry. Our Easter offering this year will be shared with a local and an international mission. Capital City Rescue Mission www.capitalcityrescuemission.org Capital City Rescue Mission, located in Albany NY, provides homeless and recovery services to persons in our local area. (Read more on page 7 of this Family) Heifer International www.heifer.org Heifer International works in 21 countries around the world alongside local farmers and business owners. Heifer International provide support to farmers and their communities. Farmers receive assistance as they mobilize and envision their futures, provide training so they can improve the quantity and quality of the goods they produce, and connection to market to increase sales and incomes. Past recipients have included the Urban Day Camp at First Church; the Kibera Sosep School in Kibera, Kenya; Camp Fowler in the Adirondaks; "Peace at Pearl" series of evening services in Clee Park adjacent to the church. The Drive-In Committee provides readers and ushers each Sunday. Reaching out to better serve the congregation of the First Church in Albany and the Capital District as a whole, our first Drive-in Worship Service was held on Easter Sunday, 1974. |
