Would you like an opportunity to honor someone special in your life? We will once again be adorning the chancel with beautiful spring flowers on Easter Sunday, 4/21, to be distributed to Children and Youth during the service. This year, you’re invited to make a donation of $5 in memory or in honor of someone special to you! Names of honorees and donors will be published in the Easter Sunday order of service. Please make checks payable to UUSS, with “Easter Flowers” in the memo line; please also be sure to clearly write the name(s) of those you’d like to honor.
Aninger Fund: The Aninger Fund is a trust fund created for the sole purpose of supporting leadership opportunities for the junior and senior youth of our congregation. Some excellent opportunities are available through UUA (Unitarian Universalist Association) and CERG (Central East Regional Group) and include but are not limited to: River Rising (formerly GoldMine), General Assembly, District Assembly, Summer Seminary for Youth, Multicultural Leadership School (youth), and youth conferences.
There have been a few changes to the Aninger Scholarship application process. The spring deadline for both individual AND group applications has changed to May 1st, for review at the May RE Team meeting. Applications received after the May 1st deadline will not be considered until the fall (if they are still relevant). The fall deadline for both the individual AND group applications has changed to November 1st, for review at the November RE Team meeting. Applications received after the November 1st deadline will not be considered until the spring (if they are still relevant).
Applications may be downloaded through the UUSS website: uuschenectady.org. Applications should be submitted to Robin Ahearn, DLRE.
Youth Con: The UUSS will be hosting a youth “con” (conference) for the Central East Region the weekend of 3/29-3/31. Below is the link to sign up to volunteer:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090945A4AF2AA4FA7-schenectady
