IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO CONTINUE TO SERVE Dear North Greenbush Residents: I am proud to announce my candidacy for North Greenbush Town Judge. I have more than three years of service as Town Justice, and it has been an honor to serve my community.

During my service, I have fairly resolved and decided a wide range of cases, and as an attorney in private practice, litigated cases in courts throughout the area. I believe my experience and understanding of how Town Court operates makes me a uniquely qualified candidate. Operation of Town Court is important to our community, and I take great care with my decisions and in ensuring our court operates honestly and effectively. As Town Judge, I have strived to give equal consideration to each case.

Working with court staff, we applied for, and were successfully awarded, $13,884 in grant monies over the past three years resulting in enhanced security at no cost to taxpayers. Other accomplishments include initiation of an internship program with Hudson Valley Community College and local high schools.

In addition to the training I received as a Town Justice, I have been an attorney for 16 years, in Capital District firms and have been engaged in my own practice serving community residents. For over a decade, I have served as an assigned attorney for children. For several semesters, I was an instructor at RPI. I would be honored to earn your vote on election day to continue the work I started. ~ Sincerely, Judge Megan Miner Malone

SETTING THE FACTS STRAIGHT

OPEN HOUSE at NASSAU FARM NEAR PROPOSED COMPRESSOR STATION On Saturday, July 11th from 3:00-6:00 PM, the Reilly family and Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline (SNYFGP), will host a tour at the Reilly Farm, 149 Clarks Chapel Road, Nassau, NY, which is across the street from the 142 acre parcel where one compressor station has been proposed. A high-pressure fracked gas pipeline is being planned to traverse Albany and Rensselaer Counties, by Texas-based energy giant Kinder Morgan, which requires industrial scale compressor stations to operate every 30-40 miles.

This event, will offer the public and elected officials the opportunity to see first hand, how the proposed compressor station will dramatically affect the lives of the residents of the area surrounding the site. The proposed compressor station would be one of the largest in the country, having three compressors totaling 90,000 horsepower. The facility will consume approximately 20 acres, with the compressors and flared gas providing a 24/7 source of noise, light, and contaminants to pollute the surrounding area. ~ Dan Spilman, Nassau Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

EAST GREENBUSH PLACES NEW APPARATUS IN SERVICE On Tuesday, June 30th, the East Greenbush Fire District No. 3 dedicated their new 2015 Spartan ERV engine tanker in a ceremony held at the Fire Company’s Frank Becker Pavilion.

The truck was dedicated to Chief Charles Link, the 1st Fire Chief of the East Greenbush Fire Company, who served at the inception of the Fire Company in 1916. It was especially significant as Chief Link’s daughter was present to witness the dedication and played an integral role in the ceremony. In addition to affixing the commemorative plaque to the apparatus, Ms. Link directed a water stream at the new truck, carrying on the traditional fire service practice of “wetting down” a new piece of apparatus. The family of Chief Link was present as well; his family has been instrumental in the East Greenbush Fire Company over the years and continues to be, currently spanning four generations. At the conclusion of the historic ceremony, the new truck was placed into service at the Company’s Main Station on Hays Road. The truck was furnished by Arrowhead Equipment and replaces a 1997 Pierce engine which served the residents of Fire District No. 3 faithfully over the years. The Pierce was sold to the Cherokee Falls Fire Department in South Carolina and they are proud to have this apparatus on their roster.

Poestenkill Town Board Abandons Their Town Residents — They’re Not Blacklisted Letter to the Editor: In a recent inflammatory and accusatory Letter to the Editor published by the Advertiser July 1, 2015 written by Poestenkill board member, David Hass, he inaccurately blames the Sand Lake Ambulance for “blacklisting” Poestenkill and not caring about children or pregnant women.

The fact is that the same Poestenkill board member, other board members and the town supervisor voted to dissolve their town ambulance service and enter into an agreement with Mohawk Ambulance, a commercial service, to provide coverage to their town in 2014 without increasing any resources in that area. While this may sound good in theory, (Save money to stay under the 2% tax cap and have the Brunswick Mohawk ambulance unit cover Poestenkill) the reality is that the Mohawk Ambulance has increased their responsibility in Rensselaer County, but has not increased their resources and responds from their Town of Brunswick station to all calls in Poestenkill “when resources are available”.

This same Mohawk unit that covers the town of Brunswick also responds to Grafton, Berlin, Petersburgh, Pittstown, or any area in Rensselaer County to the Vermont/Massachusetts state line if a paramedic is needed. There is no dedicated ambulance unit for the town of Poestenkill and no ambulance located in Poestenkill. The Brunswick unit responds to EMS calls in the town of Poestenkill when available.

The red units pictured are Paramedic agencies; the blue units are BLS (Basic Life Support - Non-Paramedic ambulances). As you can see, there is little Paramedic coverage in rural Rensselaer County.

If there’s anyone to be upset with, it is the leadership (or lack thereof) in the town of Poestenkill. We at Sand Lake Ambulance have voiced our concerns on numerous occasions that their plan would spread resources too thin, result in lengthy response times and that the Mohawk unit may often be unavailable for calls in the town of Poestenkill. The Poestenkill town supervisor, Dominic Jacangelo’s response was, “If you want a 10 minute response, move to the city of Troy”.

Mr. Jacangelo and his supporters were admitting that a 25 minute response time would be acceptable to their town residents. Most of their residents are not aware of these facts.

MATTERS and DiMARTINO: TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

Letter to the Editor: In response to “Matters and DiMartino Way Off the Mark” in the June 25, 2015 edition of the Advertiser, we are, in fact, spot on the mark.

Since taking office in 2014, Supervisor Langley has refused to recognize us as elected officials. Instead, he has treated us like employees under his control. When we were unable to support his every decision, he took offense and ousted us from his inner circle of colleagues. In our recent “Smart Way Forward Not Meant To Be” article, we were not airing “petty political disagreements,” we were informing the residents that the pledge we made to work with Supervisor Langley to “fix the town” was meaningless since he never intended to adopt our campaign platform, and, inexplicably, he never told us this while we were campaigning, which showed his complete lack of regard for us as candidates and for the residents of the town as well.

After 18 months in office, we are now realizing the fallout from Supervisor Langley’s lack of attention to long-term planning and internal controls. The new quick-fix strategy for the town’s finances has gone from applying for a casino to applying for grant money; however, as the town searches for free money, we are discovering that money is, of course, never free. The grant-application process is lengthy, involved, and costly. The only way to take full advantage of grants is to have strategic, long-term planning; however, since the supervisor is more of an “in the moment” kind of guy, applying for grants has been a tenuous start-up process at best.

While we know nothing of “political stunts,” we know everything about yet another supervisor who is simply not suited to performing the critically important job of running a town. This was supported by former Deputy Supervisor Ed Gilbert when he recently reminded us of “the very real fiscal problems and issues [still] facing East Greenbush.” ~ Mary Ann Matters and Deberah DiMartino, East Greenbush Town Board Members

ED GILBERT IS WAY OFF THE MARK AGAIN Letter to the Editor: Another week has passed — another week of Mr. Gilbert’s pot shots at Councilpersons Matters and DiMartino. In his recent Letter to the Editor, Mr. Gilbert places blame for dysfunction of the TB’s Republican majority squarely and solely on the shoulders of Matters and DiMartino. His skewed perspective runs contrary to all that I’ve observed over the past years.

To anyone tracking the actions of key players in this town, it’s well understood that Langley has bullied DiMartino and Matters since the day they were elected. Through intimidation and iron fist tactics, he demanded that they fall in line like good little soldiers, with him barking the orders. There are too many stories about his tirades and screaming tantrums, directed at Deb and Mary Ann, not to be believed. As testament to their intelligence, they finally had enough and mutinied.

The current TB, PB, and ZBs are fraught with practices that run contrary to good government and Langley sets that tone.

Their actions speak to self-interest and backroom deals; NOT fixing EG’s many problems. Gilbert’s repeated statement that Langley achieved a $1.6 million debt reduction is unsupportable based on the town’s inability to produce auditable documentation of such.

As a long-time business professional, I am stupefied by Langley’s lackadaisical attitude toward our “broken beyond repair” financial accounting system. In the real world, any competent manager would be urgently working 24/7 to fix this crisis. It’s been 3.5 years and he still hasn’t repaired the problem. This is a dereliction of duty and any manager in the business world would have been fired after one year of such substandard performance. Are there “fingers in the fiscal cookie jar?” Who knows!

Is Langley’s apathetic attitude a sign of laziness, incompetence or more? Regardless, it’s a pathetic legacy of nonperformance. The residents of EG are finally waking up and taking notice. Mr. Gilbert’s so-called “small special interest group” is actually an ever-growing number of voters who are fed up with years of town government mismanagement. Mr. Gilbert’s rock throwing can’t obscure the truth. ~ Bill Reinhold, East Greenbush Resident Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

Understanding Mutual Aid Mutual aid is, as defined by the N.Y.S. Department of Health; “ a pre-planned, organized and coordinated response of EMS agencies to a request for assistance when local EMS resources are either temporarily unavailable, or have already been expended”. However, mutual aid plans are not intended to substitute for the following: An EMS agency’s continued, routine, or frequent inability to provide EMS response when requested due to staffing or equipment shortages; Or contracting with an appropriately authorized EMS agency.

The Sand Lake Ambulance does not have operating authority (as required by NYS DOH) to cover the town of Poestenkill for primary ambulance service as Mohawk & Empire ambulances do, and under the mutual aid guidelines to respond it MUST be a mutual aid situation.

When Mohawk’s ambulance is unavailable to serve Poestenkill because it is servicing another town, this is when Rensselaer County dispatch has called for SLA to respond. However, under these conditions, the call is not for mutual aid, the call is for primary ambulance service to Poestenkill. Poestenkill giving up their ambulance service and relying on another town’s service without adding additional resources is not considered a mutual aid situation.

Sand Lake Ambulance provides mutual aid BLS (Basic Life Support, ambulance staffed with an EMT) coverage at a reciprocal level to Hoags Corners, Nassau, Schodack, Stephentown, Berlin, and ALS (Advanced Life Support, an ambulance staffed with a Paramedic) coverage at a reciprocal level to the towns of North and East Greenbush. These towns have DEDICATED ambulance services that are used to meet their own needs, and the needs of their mutual aid partners as well. Unlike the commercial service remotely covering Poestenkill, they do not run to every corner of the county leaving their towns unattended. Our mutual aid partners do not complain because Sand Lake Ambulance provides a dedicated service to their towns and only call for mutual aid service when their own resources are being used for and within their own town, and they do not call us for a primary response position. If Poestenkill established a dedicated service for their town, as they had before dissolving their service, we would respond, as we did in the past, for mutual aid calls at a reciprocal level.

Protecting Our Residents Spreading our existing resources too thin would jeopardize the safety of the residents of Sand Lake, and the last scenario we would want is to be in the town of Poestenkill for a sick person when a child in Sand Lake goes into severe anaphylaxis or sudden cardiac arrest.

The fact is that our organization has been more concerned about the residents of Poestenkill and rural Rensselaer County than their town boards have been.

Furthermore, Mr. Hass complains that SLA is refusing to cover the schools in Poestenkill. It is still the responsibility of Poestenkill to provide primary ambulance service to these schools. The town of Poestenkill dissolved their ambulance service, and directed Mohawk to take on this responsibility. Poestenkill’s decision to alter ambulance service to their town does not transfer that responsibility to Sand Lake Ambulance.

We are extremely concerned about the negative effect of Poestenkill’s decision to break away from the cooperative mutual aid system that

LOCAL STUDENTS NAMED TO BUCKNELL UNIV. DEAN’S LIST Bucknell University has released the dean’s list for outstanding academic achievement during the 2015 spring semester. Dean’s list students have achieved a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a scale of 4.0.

Matthew De Santis of East Greenbush was named to the dean’s list at Bucknell University for the spring semester of 2014-15 academic year.

LOCAL STUDENT NAMED to HAMILTON COLLEGE DEAN’S LIST KaraLin R. Pintye-Everett, daughter of Rosemary Pintye-Everett and James Everett of West Sand Lake, has been named to the Dean’s List at Hamilton College for the 2015 spring semester. To be named to the Dean’s List, a student must have carried throughout the semester a course load of four or more graded credits with an average of 3.5 or above.

Pintye-Everett, a rising junior majoring in psychology, is a graduate of Emma Willard School. we and other towns have successfully used for so many years, and we have discussed this at length with our town and our attorneys.

We have voiced our concern to the Averill Park School District, the Town of Poestenkill and Rensselaer county leadership to no avail.

We at Sand Lake Ambulance are dedicated to protecting the residents of the Town of Sand Lake, we are contracted and 50% subsidized by the Town of Sand Lake. The average $200k property assessment in Sand Lake pays $60 per year for Paramedic level ambulance coverage in the town of Sand Lake.

Many want this service provided, but the Towns of Sand Lake, North Greenbush & East Greenbush are currently the only ones willing to pay for it. Households pay more for a month of cable than a year’s worth of Paramedic level ambulance coverage.

We have offered our services to Mr. Hass to help Poestenkill recruit and retain members to build a service. This is a lengthy and time consuming process that takes dedication, community involvement, and of course, money. We at SLA work very hard through the efforts of our concerned citizen/volunteers to make our organization viable, productive, and responsive to the needs of our community.

We have not packed up our bags and quit when the task at hand was difficult.

We hope that the town of Poestenkill comes up with a plan to ensure their residents have adequate coverage so that we can continue our mutual aid efforts to our neighbors. We are deeply concerned about our residents and our neighbors and we urge others to be as well.

EAST GREENBUSH WINS FIVE-IN-A-ROW

NED PIPELINE FERC PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED Letter to the Editor: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will be holding a series of public hearings along the proposed Kinder Morgan Northeast Direct (NED) Pipeline route.

There are hearings scheduled On Tuesday, July 14th; and Wednesday, July 15th, for southern Rensselaer County, with both nights starting at 6:30 PM, and lasting as long as necessary. These hearings will be at Birch Hill, One Celebration Way, Castleton-on-Hudson (518)732-4444.

The hearings are required to allow for people to provide comments to the federal agency that is responsible for approving interstate gas pipelines. Comments can be made in person at these events, but also can be made online using the eComment feature on the Commission’s website (www.ferc.gov) under the documents and filings link, or by mail to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

The proposed NED Pipeline is a 36" pipeline that will carry fracked gas at 1460 PSI from Pennsylvania to Dracut, Massachusetts, traversing the Towns of Schodack, Nassau, and Stephentown. There would be several extremely large compressor stations along the route, included one proposed at the intersection of County Route 15 and Clarks Chapel Road (just south of Burden Lake), in Nassau, NY. Currently, a small percentage of this gas is projected to be used in the US (none in New York), with other natural gas infrastructure already proposed to allow for export of this gas overseas. ~ Dan Spilman, Nassau Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

OPEN LETTER TO COUNCILMAN DAVID HASS Letter to the Editor: I am writing to correct the erroneous characterizations contained in Poestenkill Town Councilman David Hass’ letter to the Advertiser where he attacks the Sand Lake Ambulance (SLA) and the Town of Sand Lake for refusing to provide reciprocal emergency response services to the Town of Poestenkill. Here are the facts.

The Town of Sand Lake contracts yearly with SLA (a not-forprofit organization) to operate, conduct and maintain ambulance services for all the people within Sand Lake. SLA operates within the boundaries of the Town under a certificate from the NYS Health Department. The taxpayers of Sand Lake pay $256,000 annually for basic and advanced life support on a 24-hour basis.

The Town of Poestenkill no longer has a certificate to operate an ambulance and no longer funds ambulance service in Poestenkill. This was a deliberate policy decision by the elected officials of Poestenkill. As a replacement, the Poestenkill Town Board decided to utilize Mohawk Ambulance (a privately owned, for-profit organization) not housed in the Town of Poestenkill, but in the Town of Brunswick. Mohawk Ambulance serves multiple towns in Rensselaer County and the City of Troy out of the Brunswick location.

New York State Law - Article 30 of the Public Health Law directly defines mutual aid agreements – as pre-planned, written agreements, entered into by ambulance services for the organized, coordinated, and cooperative reciprocal mobilization of personnel, equipment, services or facilities for back-up or support. Mutual aid agreements are not intended to substitute a Town’s unwillingness to fund and provide routine ambulance services within its Town and then enable that Town to strain and expand the resources of a neighbor. The Town of Poestenkill does not have a mutual aid agreement with SLA because the Town of Poestenkill is not able to provide reciprocal services to Sand Lake. Without this reciprocal service, SLA would be providing a gratuitous benefit for Poestenkill at the expense of the taxpayers in Sand Lake. NYS Constitutional Law – Article 8 prohibits Towns from “gifting” services.

Councilman Hass’ transparent attempt to characterize the SLA and the Town of Sand Lake as heartless miscreants more concerned with their own parochial interests than the medical needs of their neighbors is egregious. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is the Town Board of Poestenkill is solely responsible for finding itself in this predicament by recklessly abandoning its own ambulance service. Hopefully, the citizens of Poestenkill will compel its own governing body to provide essential ambulance services rather than succumb to the mischaracterizations of Mr. Hass.

Many years ago, SLA experienced difficulty getting a crew “off the floor” to respond to emergency calls mostly during daytime hours when many volunteers were working. In response to their struggle, the Sand Lake Town Board had the foresight and commitment to supplement SLA’s volunteer crew with funding for paid staff because they deemed ambulance services as vital and necessary for the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the community. Not surprisingly, it comes with a cost.

Perhaps the Poestenkill Town Board will re-think and then refund ambulances services for their Town residents and the children attending schools within their Town. SLA and the Town of Sand Lake has and will continue to offer to help Poestenkill re-build capacity for ambulance services - to the mutual benefit of all. ~ Flora Fasoldt, Town of Sand Lake Supervisor Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

JULY PROGRAM AT GRAFTON HIST. SOC. Parker Francis Dunn: A Boy, His Bravery & A Bridge - More than 35,000 motorists drive over the Dunn Memorial Bridge each weekday, heading into work in Albany or home to the suburbs beyond the city of Rensselaer. It’s a safe bet that none of the commuters who cross the bridge know anything about the person for whom it is named. Even former Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings was stumped when asked. So, just who was Parker Francis Dunn? Where was he from? What did he do to have this span over the Hudson River named for him?

Local historian Mark Bodnar has put together a Power Point presentation which will enlighten the audience on a piece of local history that’s all but forgotten in today’s world. Mark will reveal the life and bravery of this young, local hero that is only remembered today for the bridge that bears his name.

The program is FREE and the public is welcome. Refreshments will be served. The Grafton Historical Society will meet at 7 PM in the Grafton Town Hall on July 15, 2015.

GLENDORA VEGETARIAN CLUB 8-year-old Clint says, “I’m vegan because I like meeting and petting animals; I don’t want them to die. It hurts them to be killed. It hurts their feelings to be locked up. I don’t want people to do that to animals. I want everybody to be vegan. I don’t want people to eat animals. I don’t know yet what I’m going to do about it, but I want to tell everyone that the animals want to do fun things.

“Men who eat animals- I don’t know why they do that.

Maybe they have not watched the animals play. Maybe the men need to have more fun.

Maybe they forgot that everyone wants to do fun things.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Letter to the Editor: I think the recent articles about the proposed “Project Red” are whimsical for many reasons. Unless you live under a rock, a Major, Well Regarded, corporation got run out of Schodack not long ago when they proposed a distribution center on the same vacant property. You have to give Pied Piper SAY NAY RAY and his robot follower’s credit for keeping jobs and revenue from coming to Schodack.

Inevitably, I unfortunately see the same fate for the yet unnamed Project Red Corporation. If Dollar Tree wasn’t good enough for Schodack, the anti-business faction in town will view every company the same negative way. So why make a big deal out of the secrecy. It’s just lip service for Say Nay’s.

I am pro-business, but I too was a little upset with the secrecy.

I’m sure Supervisor Dowd’s’ intentions were good, but he struck a hornet’s nest with a stick. I always found it was a good idea to align your friends and business associates when looking to get any project done. The complete opposite happened. Even the Town Board bailed on him. They don’t want the same fate to doom them like what is going to happen in the next East Greenbush elections.

If “Project Red” fails to materialize, I have a suggestion for Mr. Valente. Raise chicken, LOTS of Chickens on the property.

That way on a hot summer day, the residents can be reminded how STINKY Schodack is to businesses trying to come to our town. ~ Jim Adams, Castleton Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

RENSSELAER COUNTY GARDEN TOUR - JULY 9th Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County will hold its annual “Rensselaer County Garden Tour” on Thursday, July 9, from 4:00 to 8:00 P.M. This tour of thirteen gardens in and around the City of Rensselaer has it all! We’re featuring two beautifully restored Victorian homes with views of the Hudson River, one with a garden right on the banks, plus the garden behind Fort Crailo, a New York State Historic Site. A few streets away is a small town garden full of flowers and edibles, surprising for what can be done with a modest space. Another town garden features flowers, food and six lively chickens, while four homes in one neighborhood display rock gardens, shade gardens, perennials, landscaped swimming pools, patios and gazebos. Two suburban homes feature extensive fruit and vegetable plantings, and one is also an official American Hemerocallis (Daylily) Society Display Garden, sure to be in full glorious color. Completing the tour are a Capital Roots Community Garden as well as the green roof at the Doane Stuart School, where students and staff will give you a tour.

She has been in the US Army since 2004 and is currently serving in the New York National Guard. She is a veteran of two deployments to the Middle East. Stephanie is currently raising money to go on a volunteer trip to Nicaragua to build a free school for adults who never received a high school education. Education in Nicaragua is not free like it is here in the United States. The volunteer trip is sponsored by Random Acts, a non-profit United States-based organization that has already built the Jacmel Childrens Center in Haiti. They are now working on building a free school in Nicaragua called the Center for Human Development with a full computer lab and updated learning materials. The first 25 people to raise $5,000 toward the building fund will have an opportunity to attend the volunteer trip.

Additionally, volunteers will pay their own travel expenses.

There are several ways she is trying to raise the money including on-line campaigns and writing a cookbook of family recipes.

SAND LAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY SEPT. MEETING Revisit the Crooked Lake Hotel of 1989 through the eyes of former owner, Al Coons.

Last April, the Sand Lake Historical Society successfully hosted “TR” at Crooked Lake. As a fascinating follow up, the SLHS will kick off its 2015-2016 season, Tuesday, Sept. 8th. Town Historian Bob Moore will present a program on the Averill Park Video Discovery Program 1985-1991. Over a six year period, Mr. Moore, as a 7th grade social studies teacher, supervised student produced video programs in the school district. These programs were often collaborations with town organizations.

The highlight of the show will be the 1989 tour of the Crooked Lake Hotel with then-owner, Al Coons. This was a joint venture between the Sand Lake Historical Society and the school district.

For more information about the Sand Lake Historical Society, Events, Membership and Historical Markers, please check out our web site at HTTP://sandlakehistory.org. All are welcome.

Our programs are usually at the Sand Lake town hall at 7:30 on the second Tuesday of the month, except for July and August. ~ Submitted by Dee Erickson

GOD’S OVERFLOWING GRACIOUSNESS

WANT A FREE EVENT FOR YOUR KIDS THIS SUMMER? Parents, we are on a “mission”!... a VBS mission.

So, have your kids “swing” on into Connecting Point Church and “hang out” with us as we are “wild about hunting for treasure” and “going bananas” over “adventure” . Our “safari guides” at Connecting Point Church will lead our life changing, Jungle Safari Vacation Bible School as we “explore” the nature of God! Every night of the week from 6:00-8:30, August 3-7, 2015, for “hunters” entering K-6 grade, we will “discover” God through music, lessons, games, crafts, and snacks. Don’t let your kids miss out on this “great adventure” that they will “treasure” for years to come! And everything is FREE… including some summer evenings for you parents! You will need to register online at www.connectingpoint.church.Connecting Point is located at 568 Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush, in the Van Den Houten Square, across from Dunkin Donuts.

On Sunday, July 12, 2015, the Nassau Reformed Church will focus on the letter of Paul in Ephesians 1:3-14. Paul writes this letter to strengthen and encourage the believers in Ephesus, as city of modern day Turkey in their Christian faith. In these verses he presents a well developed image of believers as God’s children, as adopted through Jesus Christ and made heirs of all the promises of “God’s Overflowing Graciousness.” In the sermon of that title, the Reverend Edward L. Van Kampen will point to the reality that; although we are drawn from different nationalities and backgrounds, the church of Jesus Christ is a community where divisions break down and all are in God’s hands to the praise of His glory. Summer worship is at 10 a.m. in our chapel on the second level of our Church-School-Building at 43 Church Street (Route 20).

You will be inspired to believe and sing “This little light of mine; I’m gonna let it shine!” and to better understand what Jesus told his disciples in the overall Scripture, “You are the light of the world!” (Matthew 5:14a).

Enjoy great music, snacks, bible stories, games and theatre, and so much more.
