Sunday, 5/19: Flower Communion–Multigenerational Service! Everyone will attend the Flower Communion service. Remember to bring a flower to share and you’ll be able to take home a flower someone else has shared!

The Nursery is available for children five and under during services. As always, all Children and Youth are welcome to attend worship services.

Lots of opportunities to help out with Religious Eduction…

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 DLRE Robin Ahearn.

Would you like to spend some time playing with and taking care of our littlest UU’s? Consider volunteering for a 2-hour shift in the nursery, Sunday mornings from 12-2. We’re also hoping to hire a few childcare providers, for the summer and/or long term. Pay is $15/hr and work is typically Sunday morning from 10-noon and occasional special events. If you’re interested, please contact DLRE Robin Ahearn at dlre@uuschenectady.org or (607) 435-2803! If you’re not interested but you have friends who might be, or know of someone else who might be interested, please have them contact Robin!
