Westminster Presbyterian Church

Westminster is a congregation deeply committed to building a community whose purpose is to serve Jesus Christ in the city. We see our location as a unique gift. We are situated a block away from the state capitol of New York.

We are located in a diverse and vibrant urban neighborhood. At a time of polarization in government, media and religion, and when public discourse is increasingly shrill and uncivil, Westminster attempts to be a wide tent under which diverse ideas are not only tolerated, but welcome.

Save the Pine Bush has their monthly dinner at the rented-out hall below the church. It is accessed by going to 85 Chesnut Street. There is off-street parking next to the church for church functions and the dinner.

Albany Pine Bush Commission – Lynne Jackson Speaks About the History of Save the Pine Bush

Occasionally state public authorities, recognize the work of remarkable citizens and allow them to speak at public forums. It should be a very interesting forum featuring Lynne Jackson who has worked to Save the Pine Bush for more than four decades, which is close to half a century.

Should be a very interesting forum tonight at 7 PM at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission World Headquarters on New Karner Road (hint: it looks like a bank).

I need to learn not to drink caffeinated coffee during the Save the Pine Bush dinners. ☕️ It’s always good coffee and while I do sleep well after drinking coffee, I wake up and feel like shit the next day from my sleep being messed up. But at least I had today off from work. Fun being a not-so lazy bum some days.

Save the Pine Bush Vegetarian/Vegan Lasgana Dinner – 6 PM on Wednesday

Not only will get to eat delicious lasagana, this should be a very informative evening.

Dan Van Riper from albanyweblog.com will speak about The Proposed Sewage Treatment Plant in Lincoln Park

The City of Albany is proposing to put an automated sewage treatment plant in Lincoln Park, ruining the ravine in the park that was once a tourist attraction. The plant, officially known as the Beaver Creek Screening and Disinfection Facility will cost $45 million.

Dan will discuss how the proposed plant will work, the location of the plant, how this will affect the Hudson River, the issue of the combined sewage and storm water overflow. He will show photos of the park and postcards of what the ravine and park looked like 100 years ago. Dan has published many articles on his blog, albanyweblog.com, regarding sewer issues in Albany and the Big C pipe.

At the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 85 Chestnut Street, Albany, NY (people with cars can park in the lot near the door). All-you-can-eat lasagna dinner, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, salad, garlic bread and delicious desserts. Only $12 for adults, $6 for students, and $2 for children. People who make reservations are served first. For reservations, please leave a message for Rezsin Adams at 462-0891 or email pinebush@mac.com.
