The Thank Offering is one of Presbyterian Women’s two annual offerings. Received in the fall each year, it gives women a tangible way to express their gratitude for the special blessings in their lives. Through the Thank Offering, individual churches fund grants to other churches and organizations that range from $5,000 to $50,000. At least 40 percent of the offering funds health ministries. Please join us as we support these needed services.
Please Help Fund our Holiday Sacred Music!
The Chancel Choir Ensemble, along with professional vocalists and instrumentalists, will present Handel's Messiah, Part One on Sunday, December 19, 2021 during morning service. It is our prayer that that this will be presented in real time. However, if not, it will be produced virtually for your enjoyment and spiritual uplift.
As always, we need your financial support to cover the expense of this production. The categories of giving are:
Donor $501.00 - $1,000.00
Benefactor $151.00 - $500.00
Patron $51.00 - $100.00
Friends $25.00 - $50.00
Booster $10.00 - $24.00
Please make your checks payable to the Presbyterian Church of St. Albans and place "The Messiah" in the memo section of your check. All contributors' names will be listed in the program if received by December 10, 2021.
Many thanks as always for your continued and kind support!
Anne-Marie Hudley Simmons, Director of the Chancel Choir
Audrey A. Edwards, President of the Chancel Choir

Summer Youth Employment Program
The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is the nation’s largest youth employment program, connecting NYC youth between the ages of 14 and 24 with career exploration opportunities and paid work experience each summer.
Participants have the opportunity to explore their interests and career pathways, develop workplace skills and engage in learning experiences that help in developing their social, civic and leadership skills.
By participating in structured project and work-based opportunities, NYC youth are better prepared for careers of the future.
Neighborhood Opportunity Network Grants Available
Young people between the ages of 18 and 24 can earn up to $2,000 to help beautify New York City public spaces and parks in 7 NYC neighborhoods: Northern Staten Island, East New York, Jamaica, Brownsville, Bedford Stuyvesant, Harlem and the South Bronx. Program begins in July.
