SUMMARY:Sacred Space Visit – St. Peter’s Episcopal Church
DESCRIPTION:The journey continues on Tuesday\, December 18\, as we visit another sacred space. Join Diane Conroy-LaCivita as she travels to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in downtown Albany. \nSt. Peter’s Episcopal Church has served as an active center of worship for over three hundred years. A member of the Diocese of Albany\, St. Peter’s existed before the formation of the Episcopal Church after the American Revolution. The Rev. Thomas Barclay came to Albany in 1704 with his primary ministry directed to the Iroquois tribes and the British garrison. Rev. Barclay soon oversaw the building of the first Anglican church in Albany and the first service was held in this edifice in November of 1716. Two more churches were built subsequently near the site of the original church. The current St. Peter’s Church is the third structure in the parish’s history\, the first having been built in 1715. \nThe CSSC shuttle bus will leave The Beltrone Living Center at 9:30 a.m. and return at approximately 11:45 a.m. Don’t miss this opportunity to visit this beautiful historic sacred space. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Fall’s Harvest and Local Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, October 18\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, as we offer a cooking demonstration concentrating on the area’s fall harvest and who in our community is making that happen. \nLaughing Earth has been an active farm for over two hundred years\, and as of December 2017\, is protected by an easement to be Farmland Forever. This farm is truly a testament to the power of community and the importance of making connections. The name Laughing Earth is inspired by a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson\, titled “Hamatreya.” The farm itself is a historic place\, with roots dating back to the 18th century. It is on the New York State Register of Historic Places and includes a charming family cemetery\, recently renovated thanks to the Brunswick Historical Society. \nZack and Annie Metzger are the stewards of the land and the proprietors of the business since 2015/2016. They are farmers because they care about providing healthy food for themselves and our community\, and about feeding the soil on which we depend. \nThe class will take place at King Thiel Senior Community\, 17 Elks Lane\, with a $5 fee and will include lunch. Space is limited and prepayment for the class is required. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302.
