UU Congregation of Saratoga Springs

-- by Pam Collins, Board President. Our July Board meeting this past Monday followed our first joint on-line worship service with the Schenectady church as our guests and it has to be said, it was a great success.

A group of nine of our UUCSS members met via Zoom last Thursday to discuss fundraising ideas. One very popular idea is having a craft fair on Saturday, August 22nd on the lawn in front of the Lawson home. We have figured out how to hold the sale safely (like we did the tomato and perennial sale which made over $1000).

The first Web Camp offers are available! Thank you to those who stepped up to lead a group. Below are descriptions of the six camps being offered, dates and times and leader information. Sign up by contacting the leader of the group directly. Camps will be starting mid-July, so don’t wait to sign up. When signing up by email, be sure to put “web camps” in the subject line.

2 Remaining Wednesdays: July 1 and July 8. This political education series offered by Side With Love and Love Resists will explore the history of the reconstruction era (post-civil war), to give us a deeper understanding of the origin of today’s systemic racism in policing and mass incarceration as well as the Black-led movements resisting it.
