Finances and Fundraising:

Sunday Worship begins at 10:30 a.m.  Masks are optional within the church building.  If desired, you may attend in the privacy of your car parked in our parking lot.

If you would like to receive a box of weekly giving envelopes, please call the office at 518-767-2243.  Using these envelopes allows our treasurer to be able to credit your donations at the end of the year for tax purposes.


Online offerings may be made on-line via Tithe.ly and the Give button below. These donations will be deposited directly into the church bank account. You have the option to give to either the General or Renovation Fund. Both Tithe.ly and the church will record your donations.


Tithe.ly deducts a small fee per credit card transaction (2.65% plus $0.30). You have the option to cover these fees, if you wish. You may also choose to have Tithe.ly automatically donate for you weekly or monthly.


As always, thank you for your generosity.

The Stained Glass Window Fund is growing. We have been getting donations and you can continue to donate. We hope to start the chalet windows in the near future. The church windows look amazing. Special thanks to Keith Jordan for coordinating this project.

The FRCB stained glass restoration is underway!

Please give yourselves a big round of applause, we have raised over a $1000!  Our total so far is $1004. I challenge all of you to continue gathering your bottles and cans to get the total to $2000. We can do it together. You are all amazing. Arlene

Thank you to all who have participated in our various fundraisers.

Other fundraising ideas:

  • A wall plaque will be created listing donor names making contributions in memory of loved ones.
  • Do you have additional suggestions?? Maybe a rummage sale, outdoor concerts, more church dinners??

Please share your ideas with a consistory member!
