Since  2010, UU Schenectady has offered a range of 6 different Wellspring classes. This year’s advanced offering is Deep Questions

Participants examine the 7 Unitarian Universalist principles and the 8th proposed principle through the lens of their own experience and beliefs to see what meaning those principles may have in their lives and communities.

Through class assignments and interactions, you will be enabled to deepen your own understanding of UU values, gain a deeper commitment to your own values, and engage with a deeper connection with fellow participants.
