The Nursery is available for children five and under during services. As always, all Children and Youth are welcome to attend worship services.

As the Religious Education program is a cooperative endeavor, volunteers are needed. Volunteer options include teaching classes as part of a teaching team, filling in as a substitute teacher (no curriculum preparation is necessary for being a substitute), assisting in a Religious Education classroom, and offering an extra pair of hands to help with particularly involved crafts or other similar activities.
Contact Director of Lifespan Religious Education (DLRE) Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org for more information about volunteering.

River Rising: It’s not too late for Youth to register for River Rising, which we’ll be hosting 8/18-8/24! We currently only have one UUSS Youth attending… If you’re a Youth and you’d like to attend, be sure to check it out HERE!
