A huge THANK YOU to Finn Winters-Bona and his family for all the time and effort they put into restoring the beautiful labyrinth in the back yard of Waters House! When you have the opportunity, please do check it out. They worked super hard and did a wonderful job. Thank you also goes out to Melissa MacKinnon who worked with youth many years ago to create the labyrinth originally. The goal now is to make sure it gets lots of use and doesn’t get overgrown and hidden again! It is a fabulous resource!
On September 20, three days before the UN Climate Summit in NYC, young people and adults will strike all across the US and world to demand transformative action be taken to address the climate crisis. Millions of us will take to the streets to demand a right to a future, and we’re inviting you to #strikewithus. Whether you’re 7 or 77, you’re invited to join the movement. For more information, please visit strikewithus.org.
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 crafts or other activities. Want to do some painting?
Decorate a bulletin board? Contact Director of Lifespan Religious Education (DLRE) Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org for more information about volunteering.
