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.

Storytelling Night

Storytelling night previously scheduled for  Wednesday evening, August 7 at 7:00, with Brian Belt, founder of the Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts Gallery located in Hudson, NY,  has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts. 


Woman looking at an open book with showing a bridge and a boat on water.We are people of story. Our traditions, religions, histories, and biographies are compilations of stories told and received, handed down, edited, redacted, metaphorized, dreamed up. Storytelling Night is a monthly evening of food, fellowship, and storytelling. We gather monthly around the stories of people. And, we believe that each story – of our fears, of our hopes, of our lives, of our families, of our undoing, of our renaissance, of our redemption – can be inspiring to us and to others . . .
