JUNE 2005

June is always a busy month at First Presbyterian. It's hard to believe that with the early Summer swelter, the season of picnics, pool parties and baseball games would not arrive until the wee hours of June 21st.

Here are highlights of a busy month:

Sunday, June 12
While guest conductor Jack Holmes led the Choir in its last anthem of the season, our More Light committee proudly participated in Albany's annual Pride Parade. Click here for photo coverage.

Come as God made you.

Sunday, June 19
Another "double feature" for our congregants after the 10:45 service. First Presbyterian's Deacons officiated at our annual Strawberry Festival.

Then Laura Sharp directed the Chapel Choir in a musical retelling of Daniel in the lions' den.

It's the berries.

Rescue in the Night (by Allen Pote and Tom Long) whimsically portrayed the conspiracy in King Darius's court. Astrofar, Taxalot and Crushafo (whose names never made it into the Old Testament for some reason) contrived to throw Daniel into a lions' den for alleged disloyalty to earthly authority.

May he live forever!
