Religious Education this Week – June 18th

The Nursery is available for children five and under during services. As always, all Children and Youth are welcome to attend worship services. (Interviewing for childcare providers is going very well–we have a few promising candidates we hope will begin soon! Thank you for your patience during the nursery staffing challenges these last couple of weeks!) We welcome Jude Miller to our nursery staff.

Summer RE for grades K-6 will begin June 30th. Would you like to help out with one or more of the summer sessions? If so, contact Director of Lifespan Religious Education Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org.

River Rising! Some scholarship $$ still available! Central East Region’s new leadership school is happening July 28-August 3 at State College, PA, and August 18-24, here at UUSS! It’s for youth who will be in 9th-12th grades in the 2019/2020 school year. During this week in community youth will be challenged, learn together, create sacred space, deepen their UU values and build friendships that will last beyond the week. Among other highlights they’re planning a river trip! Registration is $525 before June 15 and matching congregation scholarships are available through CER for up to half.
