The UUSS Nursery
Childcare for children 5 and under is available from 10-12 on Sunday! If your child wears diapers or pull-ups, please bring some of theirs along, as well as wipeys, and maybe a change of clothes, just in case.
We also still have some nursery staff positions available. If you know someone 18 or older who is fabulous with children and might like to earn a little extra cash, please have them contact Director of Lifespan RE Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org.
The Religious Education Team Needs You!
The RE Team is in need of a couple of additional members. We typically meet once a month, either in person or via Zoom, and we work together to explore big-picture plans for the Children and Youth of RE, as well as support the director of lifespan religious education. If you’d like to support RE by being a part of the RE Team, please contact Director of Lifespan RE Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org.
