Sunday, 3/31: K/1 OWL and 5/6 OWL Children and Youth will go directly to their classrooms. Everyone else will begin in the Great Hall and stay through Story for All Ages. Following SFAA, Children and Youth will meet in the church entryway and be led across the street to their Waters House classrooms.
The Nursery is available for children five and under during services. As always, all Children and Youth are welcome to attend worship services.
Bake Sale! The Love Connects Us class (grades 2/3/4) will be holding a bake sale on Sunday, 3/31, just before the church safety presentation. All proceeds will go to SICM (Schenectady Community Ministries), an organization chosen by the Love Connects Us class. SICM is a partnership of 52 congregations for ministries of social service and social justice. SiCM addresses public health needs such as food insecurity and nutrition education, racism and diversity concerns, and summer recreation through community collaborations, services, and programs.
Youth Con: The UUSS will be hosting a youth “con” (conference) for the Central East Region the weekend of 3/29-3/31. We are still in need of a few stay-awake adults/chaperones to cover either an 11 pm-3 am shift or a 3 am-7 am shift, Friday or Saturday night. We need three adults for each shift. Below is the link to sign up to volunteer: https://bit.ly/2NNj0Ac Please help make this a successful con!
Dead Marker Collection! If you have a bunch of dead markers (even non-Crayola brands!) hanging around and you just don’t know what to do with them, round ’em up and put them in one of the collection boxes located in the church entryway and the Waters House entryway, for donation to Crayola’s ColorCycle. The ColorCycle Program was devised to repurpose used markers rather than sending them to landfills! The ColorCycle program has repurposed more than 70 tons of expended markers in the US and Canada. Sunday, March 31st is the last day to drop them off.
Easter Flowers! 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.
