If your commitment to Jesus is more than 24 hours old, then it is too old! Re-give yourself to Jesus anew every day!

Jesus gave His all for you! If you want God’s best for you, then after you have invited Jesus into your life as your Savior from sin, death, and Hell, He comes into you and saves you from all sin, death, and Hell. He also gives to you all that He is and has!

Airman 1st Class Briley Tabor, a 2023 graduate of Albany High School, recently completed Basic Military Training for the United States Air Force. She graduated during ceremonies held August 27–28, 2025, at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

The eight-and-a-half-week program introduces enlistees to military discipline, physical training, and the core values of the U.S. Air Force. Through a demanding schedule of drills, coursework, and team-building exercises, trainees are prepared to serve in the nation’s defense forces and uphold the standards expected of all airmen.

Albany’s annual Citywide Garage Sale is set for this Saturday, Sept. 6, and organizers say the event is shaping up to be another busy one with strong local participation and plenty of out-of-town interest.

The Albany News will debut a new and improved fall/winter visitor guide this year, shifting from its traditional square, newspaper-style format to a more polished magazine-style publication.

Publisher David Waller, who played a key role in developing the latest Abilene visitor guide, is bringing that experience to the Albany edition. The new guide will aim to highlight the events, history, places, and businesses that make Albany a destination worth visiting.
