Religious Education on Sunday, January 21st

We will have regular Religious Education (RE) sessions for grades K-7, 8/9 OWL, and Senior High Youth.

Here is the schedule:

  1. The nursery opens at 10:15 and is available for children under 5 years old.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
