First Reformed Church of Scotia

About this church

First Reformed Church of Scotia in Scotia, New York, holds two Sunday morning worship services, at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., at 224 North Ballston Avenue (Route 50). In the warmer months the early service moves outdoors to the plaza. Worship follows an order printed in the bulletin, with hymns, prayer, scripture reading and a sermon, and an offering is collected at each service. The 10:00 a.m. service adds a choir anthem and a children's message. Communion is celebrated about once a month with bread and grape juice, and gluten-free bread is available. Coffee hour follows the 10:00 service in Brink Hall, a fellowship room beside the sanctuary with a view over Collins Lake.

Sunday School for ages four through senior high meets at 10:30 a.m., and children leave worship for their classes after the children's message. Nursery care is offered, and the service can be heard from the nursery. Beyond Sundays, the congregation gathers for Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, an Easter sunrise service on the bluff behind the church, All Saints Day, and two candlelight services on Christmas Eve. The website also lists mission work and a church calendar of events.

For visitors, a large parking lot sits near the sanctuary, with more spaces in front of the education and fellowship buildings and designated handicap spots. Dress ranges from suits to jeans. Online worship resources include a YouTube channel and the weekly bulletin. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
