Calvary Episcopal’s once-leaky bell tower now watertight in Burnt Hills
BURNT HILLS — A local church has maintained its status on the National Register of Historic Places while restoring its bell tower with durable building materials church founders likely wish were available back in the 19th century.
The tower atop Calvary Episcopal Church at 85 Lake Hill Road now gleams with a plastic material over an enclosure protected by sheathing that’s used in today’s newly built homes. [ . . . ]

Calvary Episcopal Church in Burnt Hills looks to restore tower
The Calvary Episcopal Church in Burnt Hills is raising money to restore its 171-year-old tower, which has been leaking for years.
“There’s only so much [that] caulking and painting can do,” said Father Gabriel Morrow.
Morrow said the plan is to essentially remove the facade of the tower to review the inside of it and repair any issues before replacing the facade.
“We’d like to restore the tower to its original glory,” said Father Gabriel Morrow. [ . . . ]

Churches provide Easter uplift, even remotely amid COVID-19
CAPITAL REGION — Holy Week and Easter come around on the Christian religious calendar every year as surely as snow melts in April, but there’s never been an Easter like this one.
It’s been a century since so many Americans were so fearful of a widespread virus-caused illness. But then, there are communication technologies available today that didn’t exist during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919, meaning it’s easier for government to monitor and forbid mass gatherings even when they are religious — but also easier for religious leaders to get their message out despite those restrictions.

Pastor poses choices at Christmas Eve service
BURNT HILLS – Rev. Gabriel Morrow wanted to relay a simple message during his Christmas Eve sermon at the Calvary Episcopal Church on Monday.
Morrow wanted the approximately 50 people who attended the service to think about their own lives, especially those who had a lot going on. He gave them four choices, all of which related to how Jesus Christ could help them in their lives. [ . . . ]

Burnt Hills Calvary Episcopal makes national list
When Rev. Gabriel Morrow rings the bell at the Burnt Hills Calvary Episcopal Church on Lake Hill Road in the town of Ballston, he does it the old fashioned way.
“We still have a rope and we actually ring the bell with the rope,” said Morrow, who took over at BH Calvary just a couple of months ago. “I do it myself, and I love to do it. We actually have two ropes, but one leads to the clapper and that doesn’t work. Just having the one rope makes it harder, but I still love doing it. To me the bells are meant to convey something more than just this building. It’s about the community here.” [ . . . ]

Burnt Hills writer puts novel on hold, enjoys short pieces
Wendy Hobday Haugh’s great American novel is coming, slowly but surely. Until it’s done, she’s been very happy producing magazine articles and getting her short stories and poetry published.
Soon perhaps, if her grandchildren don’t keep her too busy, she hopes to switch genres and produce a full-length novel, something she’ll be happy to share with the public instead of just a few family members. [. . .]
