A big THANK YOU to the Fun for UUSS Team for putting together an exciting and spooky Halloween parade this past Sunday. Following the parade and yummy cake for all, children 12 and under and their parents/guardians were treated to a lively Halloween party. Multiple crafts, the excitement of a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater pinata, and the awarding of certificates for just about every category imaginable made for loads of fun for all! The team, all the volunteers who contributed to the fun, and everyone who participated in the festivities made this a memorable Halloween celebration.

This coming Sunday, 11/4, everyone will begin in the Great Hall and stay through Stories for All Ages. Following SFAA, K/1 Children will follow their teachers to their Wonderful Welcome classroom in the church hallway. Grades 2-12 will meet in the church entryway and be lead across the street to their Waters House classrooms.

I will be out of the office 10/31-11/6, attending the LREDA (Liberal Religious Educators Assocation) Fall Conference in Houston, TX. There is a lot of wonderful programming scheduled and I look forward to taking in as much as I possibly can! I’ll be back in the office 11/7, gearing up to head to Syracuse on Friday, 11/9, for the Sr Youth SlUUmber Party Con (conference) at May Memorial UU Society, where Sr Youth Advisor Randy Jennings and I will be the UUSS chaperones.

The UU Society of Schenectady, in conjunction with the Central East Region of the UUA (UU Association), will host a Chaplain Training 11/30-12/2. CLICK HERE  for more info. The deadline to register is 11/19.
