First United Methodist Church
of East Greenbush
Welcome
We recognize that people come through our doors for many reasons. Some may come with family or friends, others are new to the community and are looking for a church home; and some may be seeking comfort and guidance during a time of trouble or concern.
Whatever brought you to us, we are thankful and we want you to know that our hearts, our minds and our doors are always open and that all are welcome in God’s house.
Worship Services
Early worship services are Sundays at 8:30 AM.
Services are held in the Chapel in the Woods, weather permitting. During inclement weather, services are held inside the church.
Our traditional service is at 9:30 AM. Due to COVID-19, we are taking extra precautions for those wishing to attend in person. You may watch the service on Facebook Live. You can also watch a recording of the service on Worship Service FUMCEG-YouTube. A video of the service will be uploaded to YouTube each week and should be available on Sunday afternoons.

Church Events
Change the World Month
Change the World is a movement that began several years ago. It was originally designed to get people out of their church pews and into their communities to spread the love of Jesus Christ to others (including our animal friends!) Even though we are in the midst of a global Pandemic and most churches are finding different ways to worship, we know that there is still much work to be done. We are pleased to announce that our eighth annual Change the World event will be extended this year to include the entire month of May, rather than just one day.
Sunday Afternoon Live
11:30 AM – 12:15 PM
Preschool – 5th grade, and 6th – 12th grades. Both will be socially distanced and masks are required.
