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.

Crop Walk
Sunday, October 17 12:45 PM
The Castleton Hunger Crop Walk will be held on October 17. We will meet in the parking lot on Boltwood Avenue behind Riverside Nursing Home. We will start with a prayer and picture and set out on the 3.2 mile walk. There will also be a 1 mile walk. One quarter of donations raised from the Hunger Crop Walk is directed to the Anchor Food Pantry in Castleton. The rest supports Church World Service programs. CWS programs serve vulnerable populations in the United States and across the world, including distributing information about the COVID-19 virus, responding to requests for food and hygiene supplies and providing cash grants to families with urgent needs for medicine, housing, internet connectivity, and more. In the U.S., they provide a continuum of services to newly-arrived refugees, migrant farm workers and asylum seekers. Please commit to joining the walk by registering.
