Hello Everyone, J. M. Bliss here.

This is the final month of Drive-In for the Year. We were gone last week as it was a FOCUS Sunday, however we are back for the next three.

Service on the Last Sunday of this month, the 31st, should be held at Unity Church as it is another FOCUS Sunday. I will make sure an archival video get posted in place of our usual livestream as YouTube dislikes it we skip a day. Fun Times.

Anyway, I hope you can join us for worship this Sunday.

J. M. Bliss, Signing Out.

Hello Everyone, J. M. Bliss here.

This Sunday is a FOCUS Sunday and service will be held at The First Presbyterian Church of Albany at 9:30 AM. We would love to see you there.

However, if you want to see something from us here at First Church, an Archival Video goes live at 10:00 AM. Coming from July 1995, The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost is the first Archival Video we have posted in a while. Things got a bit crazy and the Archive was put on the back burner. But it's back and hopeful I can keep up. I hope you all enjoy.

Hello There Everybody,

It has been nothing but chaos for the past few weeks, so the Livestreams got put on the back burner. But we are starting up again. Service will be held in James Chapel this Sunday. Same time as normal, Service at 10 with the Livestream starting a bit earlier.

I Hope to see you there.

Hello Everyone,

I have something Special this week. Thanks to some new hardware and software, I can now archive all of the cassette tapes we have at the church. What are on them, more old recordings of church services. But that isn't the special part.

I wanted to go back as far as I can, and start from the Beginning. This brings us to the earliest recording (that we know of) of a First Church Service.

Ladies and Gentlemen and Everyone In-between. I welcome you to listen to a recorded broadcast all the way from 1995.

Broadcasted on February 19th, The Sixth Sunday After Epiphany.
