On Wednesday, July 10, we will begin our summer schedule whereby participants have volunteered to present single session topics each Wednesday through August 28.
The handout for July 10 is “The Real Roots of American Rage” to be facilitated by Lisa Angle. Copies of this handout are available in the Philosophy mailbox located right outside the UUSS office.

Next Wednesday, July 17, we will review “Construction of Emotion.” Copies will be available after this Wednesday morning in the Philosophy mailbox right outside the UUSS office.

As always, if you would like additional information on future scheduling and want to participate, please contact Michael Foster at 518-382-5982 or mfoster9@nycap.rr.com. The Philosophy Group meets on Wednesdays from 10-11:30AM in the Emerson Room. Newcomers are always welcome.

Making Connections this summer!

Sessions will be offered Tuesday mornings (10 am -12:00 noon),  July 23, July 30, Aug. 6, Aug. 13, Aug. 20, Aug. 27, Sept. 3. OR Tuesday evenings (7 – 9 pm):  July 16, July 23, July 30, Aug. 6, Aug. 13, Aug. 20, Aug. 27, Sept. 3.  
Are you interested in meeting people who attend UU Schenectady and getting to know them better? Would you like to connect on a deeper level with them and with yourself and explore your own spirituality? We are starting weekly small discussion groups called Summer Circles. In these groups, we will reflect upon a chosen topic and each person will have an opportunity to share their thoughts without interruption. Since many people leave town for a bit during the summer, we understand that participation in each session will be challenging for some. That’s OK, you are still welcome to participate. We are however asking that interested people sign up ahead of time either ONLINE HERE or at the Adult Faith Development Table. Sessions will begin if we have at least 7 people signed up indicating their intent to participate in at least some of the sessions. For more information, contact Gary Feinland at feinland.g@gmail.com or 518-242-9801.

Sad News to Share – July 9

Our beloved long-time member Angela Calabria had unexpected surgery last week while visiting her son in Minnesota. Unfortunately there have been complications and Angela has made the decision to have only comfort care. She will be transferred to hospice today. Plans are being made for a memorial service, likely this summer. The family is with her and surrounding Angela with love and care. They are all at peace with her decision and have been sharing memories, playing tango music in her room, and she has been telling them what she wants for her memorial service.
We send Angela and her family our love and wishes for ease and comfort at this time.  Rev. Lynn and Rev. Wendy

Are you passionate about UUSS, and have you ever considered that you might have the potential to lead?  It is the job of our Board of Trustees to clearly define roles and responsibilities, to empower staff and volunteers, and to focus its attention on discernment, stewardship of resources, strategy and oversight.

By serving on the Board, you will be inspired by interacting with the other talented members. You will develop valuable new skills, and you will also have lots of fun. And, you will help UUSS in profound ways to more fully achieve our Mission.

You do not need to be knowledgeable about all aspects of UUSS to serve on the Board, just be willing to learn and lead.  And you must have been a voting member of the congregation for at least one year as of May 2019.

At the Annual Meeting of the Congregation on May 19, the congregation will be electing two individuals for full three-year terms beginning on July 1, 2019, plus two other individuals for one-year commitments, completing the terms of two seats on Board that are becoming vacant.

To be considered for open Board positions, please complete an application form and return it by April 7 to the Governance Advisory Committee (GAC), which will prepare a slate of candidates for submission to the Board.

Download the application form here and return it to Christy Multer at cmulter12@gmail.com  by 3:00 pm on Sunday, April 7th.

Questions?  Please talk to GAC members Dan Leonard, Christy Multer, John Reschovsky, Rev. Lynn, or Rev. Wendy.  The Board of Trustees webpage has information you may find helpful too.
