Choir (weekly, in season): an opportunity develop musical skills, learn some beautiful choral music, and share it during worship services. Also opportunities for those who play various musical instruments.
Friendship Luncheoneers (monthly, year round): group gatherings for lunch and conversation at local restaurants.
Occasional outings, often with ALT (Albany Lutherans Together) collaborators. (e.g., ValleyCat baseball games, museum visits, concerts, etc.).
