The Community Reformed Church of Colonie welcomes you. We are a community bound together and energized by faith, love, and commitment to Jesus Christ. And even though you may not yet share that faith, love, and commitment, you are most welcome to be with us, to belong here, to experience what we're about. Then, if you are attracted and persuaded by what you see and hear, we hope you'll want to set down roots here long-term. And even if you don't, you'll always be a friend.
Ash Wednesday Worship
March 5th ~ 7PM
You are dust, and to dust you will return.
This ancient formula will be heard by millions of
Christians all over the world this Ash Wednesday as the sign
of the cross is made with ashes on their forehead. This
symbolic act is both a solemn reminder and an invitation to
renewal.
All are welcome as we begin together the sacred
walk towards Easter.
For those planning on worshipping on Zoom and
wishing to receive Ash Wednesday worship materials,
please notify the church office [email protected] by
February 16.

Building and Grounds Tasks
Current continuous needs are setting up the sanctuary on Saturday for the worship service on Sunday and light cleaning in the Sanctuary. Have you observed some other opportunity or need that we have missed? Feel free to dive right in! We have a large very active campus, and many hands make light work.
Please contact the church office or Kevin Ingalls, Deacon of Building and Grounds, at [email protected] if interested in serving the church with these duties. The more that we can do to help our church, the less we will have to pay to have done.
Interested? Questions? Contact Kevin Ingalls or Lori Cote in the church office, [email protected].

The Colonie Community Day Care Center is a private, not-for-profit organization under the auspices of the Community Reformed Church. The Day Care Center, founded in 1975, is licensed by the New York State Department of Social Services. The hours are from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. The center is open all year.
Al-Anon
Meeting every Friday from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm, Meetings are currently being held virtually.
Al-Anon is for anyone who has been affected by alcoholism. If you are concerned about someone else's drinking, the Al-Anon program can offer help.
Al-Anon began over 50 years ago as "family groups," attended by the families of alcoholics who found sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, Al-Anon/Alateen members are finding serenity and help in our program, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. Recovery in Al-Anon is based on the Twelve Steps (adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous).
Missions
Throughout the year, we work with numerous agencies and organizations throughout the Capital District and beyond. The Schulyer Inn Shelter, Colonie Outreach Center, Albany Overflow Shelter, Things of My Very Own, and Reformed Church World Service are just a few organizations that we support.
When our worship is over, our service begins.
