This Sunday, Advent I, is a big day at St. Andrew's. We will celebrate the confirmation of a young member of the congregation and receive an adult member into the communion of our church.
Advent I is also the day that the resolution of General Convention becomes effective giving all congregations and couples access to the blessing of marriage - sacramental equality! It is coincidental that Bishop Love will be visiting a
our parish on this day. It was scheduled many months in advance of his directive denying the work of General Convention. But it gives us an opportunity to show him that many members of the diocese welcome the fresh breeze blowing in The Episcopal Church, and claim the blessing!
Our main service, along with Confirmation by the bishop, begins at 10:00. We are at 10 N. Main Avenue, Albany, right next to the College of St. Rose, corner of Main and Madison. Come prepared to worship, celebrate, and show our bishop that we are committed to radical welcome of all. God Bless!
