Church Office

Office hours are generally Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 9:00 AM-3:00 PM. You can also meet and reach out to our staff by following this link. It’s always a good idea to call ahead, if you plan to stop by the church: 518-463-7135.


Documents

Most of our important congregational documents are stored in the online church “file cabinet.”  If you are looking for a document, it probably lives there.  You can browse through it by following this link.

Leaders

It takes a lot of people to operate and govern a congregation our size.  The vision, mission, congregational covenant and strategic planning are their responsibility with congregational support.  To learn more about our governance have a look at the documents in the file cabinet.

Need to Talk? Albany UU Pastoral Care Associates are here to listen!

Archives

Sometimes members and friends want to get a copy of a sermon or listen to a service again.  To listen to a recent service, you will need login information to protect the Joys and Sorrows shared in the service.  That login information can be gotten from the office.  Please follow the links to the right to access these materials.  Another resource of learning and education is our Joy Library. That can also be found on the Archives links.
