Hurricane Irene Assistance

Our area has experienced widespread devastation because of Hurricane Irene. The Stockade neighborhood where First Reformed Church is located was badly flooded, and surrounding areas such as Schoharie, Middleburg, and Prattsville are also still dealing with a tremendous amount of hurricane damage. Find updated information on the Schoharie Recovery website, the Regional Synod of Albany website or the Facebook page under the username Albany Synod. 

Check out a video of pictures taken during and after the floods!

Stacey Midge continues to organize work groups for flood relief. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Stacey at revstacey@gmail.com or by calling the church office at (518) 377-2201.
