We will have regular Religious Education (RE) sessions for grades K-7, 8/9 OWL, and Senior High Youth.
Here is the schedule:
- The nursery opens at 10:15 and is available for children under 5 years old.
- 8/9 OWL participants meet at 10:30 in their designated room. This will be our last Sunday here in Schenectady! More info about the transition to come soon.
- Everyone else will assemble in the Great Hall for the initial part of the service. Following the story, kiddos will proceed to their respective classrooms:
- K-3rd graders (Favorite UU Stories Group) meet in the room adjacent to the Nursery.
- 4th-7th graders (Windows and Mirrors Group) meet on the second floor of Waters House.
- The high school youth group will start in the Great Hall and then transition to Waters House for their meeting until approximately noon.
