...before starting for the first time
...after starting, engine running successfully and warmed up
....later after a brief drive

If the oil was changed before you stored it, as it should have been, then you wouldn't have to change it now. 
However, since you obviously did not do that, I'd get the engine thoroughly warm on a drive of 15 minutes or more to make sure all contaminants (sludge, etc.) are in suspension and will come out with the oil being drained.
