Yesterday afternoon we visited with the fabulous UUs who live at the Glen Eddy in Niskayuna. (Thanks to all of you who shared in the conversation yesterday!) We gather monthly for an hour or so… with a chance to hear how each person is doing, share news from the rest of the congregation, and this year we’ve been reflecting together on that month’s theme. Yesterday we asked about how each of them became connected with Unitarian Universalism, and/or UUSS. Of the 15 folks we met with, three are life-long UUs… two have been part of this congregation their whole lives, (with a shout-out to Dot Grey and Reba Mehan!) Some joined while in college, or as young parents. Some went searching for a faith community with some hesitancy, having been hurt or disappointed elsewhere. Some came with a family member, or having been invited by a friend.

On Sunday, we met with the folks who signed up for Getting to Know UU. Their stories were similar, (minus the life-long members.) And last night, the Board’s check-in question was how do their commitments help them feel more connected to UU Schenectady.

Whatever your journey here, we are glad you are choosing to be involved… or at least read Circuits! We’d love to hear your stories of connection, your stories of commitment and community.

With gratitude~ Rev. Lynn & Rev. Wendy
