How does working for justice bring us together? Join Rev. Ashley DeTar Birt from New York Unitarian Universalist Justice and friends from across the Hudson-Mohawk cluster of Unitarian Universalist congregations as we explore how social justice isn’t just something one does to help others; it is communal, spiritual work that unites us across backgrounds and helps us all.

After a story for all ages, kids and youth will have opportunities for hands-on activities on justice and collaboration. Music throughout the service will be shared by the Hudson Mohawk joint choir. Our special collection will support the collaborative work of both New York UU Justice and the Hudson Mohawk cluster.

After the service, the social hour includes a finger-food potluck, and opportunities to connect with others in the cluster working on climate justice, housing, criminal justice reform, medical aid in dying, and UU the Vote!

UUSS worship services are held in-person in the Great Hall, and also online. To join in the worship service online via Zoom, click HERE on Sunday morning.

UUSS building mask status: masks are now optional, and are always welcome.

If you have questions about the service, Unitarian Universalism, or the UU Society of Schenectady (UUSS), contact UUSS Congregational Life Coordinator Kristin Cleveland at clc@uuschenectady.org.
