SUNDAY SERVICES
10:00 am
February 16, “
Forgiveness – The Art of Letting Go,” Dan Miyake, Intern Minister
Forgiveness is often seen as something to be sought externally from God or others for some misdeed or sin we have committed, but we rarely consider how, by forgiving others, we liberate ourselves from the hot burning coals of anger, rage, resentment, and pain that we carry inside. Come and explore how we can begin to heal our wounds and release our anger through the practice of forgiveness.
Music:
Albany UU Choir, Elena Karpoff

February 23, “Spiritual Renewal From Mardi Gras through Lent and Beyond,” Rev. Trumbore and Matt Edwards
Appreciating the music from New Orleans with our former Music Director Matt Edwards and his band, we will learn about the season of Lent that begins with Ash Wednesday, February 26 and end on Maundy Thursday, April 9 right before Easter. Whether we are Christian or not, this is a good time for spiritual renewal.
To make this an enjoyable Sunday, please bring Mardi Gras masks and decorated umbrellas that are traditional for this holiday (the colors are green, gold and maroon), beads and a King Cake to share after the service.
Music: Matt Edwards with his band, Buck2Fifty

January UU Jams were a hit!
Children who attended the workshops had a great time. We had four weeks to explore the idea of Integrity in new and hands on ways. Many thanks to our UU Jams volunteers who made it possible: Jeffrey Sedam, Neil Rice; Eileen Roepe; Anne Marie Haber, Darnell Rohrbaugh, Anna Brewer; Dan Miyake; Carol Butt; and Debbie Hoffman.
Couch needed in Channing Hall
Our couch in Channing Hall needs desperately to be replaced
. But it’s important that it be replaced with something similar in size, weight and style to what we have there now.
If you have a couch that you’d like to donate, or know someone who might, please send pictures to
admin@albanyuu.org
or call Tammy in the church office.
Are you--or a friend--looking to make some money occasionally?
Albany UU MUST build a larger pool of Building Hosts and Dishwashers. These are occasional gigs that are needed for rental events. Building Hosts ensure events go smoothly and dishwashers help when food is being served. The pay is $15.00 per hour.
We can also use a
‘backup’ Sunday custodian
in case our regular person needs the day off. The job is from 8:00-1:00 on Sunday morning and entails a multitude of small tasks that enable our service and classes to go smoothly, setting up coffee hour and washing the dishes. Some lifting is required. The pay is also $15 per hour.
If you are interested in hearing more about any of these opportunities, contact Tammy Hathaway, Church Administrator at 518-463-7135 or
admin@albanyuu.org
. And pass this on to anyone who might be interested!
Albany UU AV Equipment
It seems we are having some equipment issues that need resolving. We are missing some HDMI cables (both blue and black, and red and black) and other connector cables. If anyone, who has used their own laptop with one of our projectors or other equipment and has mistakenly taken one home, please return it to the church office.
Also, equipment and connector cables are not being properly returned to their bags and/or boxes. Each computer bag should contain a power cord and HDMI cable. Each projector container should contain a power cord, VGA cable and HDMI cable. If your meeting or event is using AV equipment, please ensure that all cables, cords and machines are put neatly back into their bags and/or boxes. This will minimize items becoming misplaced or lost. If you have any questions, please contact the church office. Thank you!
Building access during Youth Con - Plan ahead!
Often volunteers come to the building “off hours” to attend to business. Our youth are holding a District Youth Conference at Albany UU from
5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 28 to 9:00 am on Sunday, March 1
. As we work to provide a safe and secure environment for the youth and their advisors, please plan your work so that you don’t need to be in the building during any part of the Con. If it is something unavoidable, please contact Leah Purcell in advance: dre@albanyuu.

Resilience in Children and Youth –Balancing Protection and Letting Go
From our Soul Matters partners:
In our highly competitive, individualistic culture, including in our UU history, we prop up a heroic and individualistic form of resilience. "Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps"; "You're stronger than you think."; "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”; The cultural message is clear: resilience depends on you - your individual toughness and inner strength. However, while resilience has a lot to do with what is inside us, it equally depends on what is between us.
We know that children need encouragement, protection and guidance from the adults in their lives – and that we adults are often barraged with new information and advice. Fostering resilience in children and youth is a huge challenge for parents, caregivers, family members, teachers, mentors and other caring adults. We worry about the consequences of letting children and youth try things on their own and fail. Forget “helicopter parents” that hover over their high school and college aged children and try to intervene when they see their children struggle; now we see “bulldozer parents” like the ones involved with college admission scandals, who plow through every barrier they see in order to ensure their child’s success. There is legitimacy in wanting to protect our children and youth from shouldering an overwhelming load of adverse experiences. And we also know that in trying to protect our kids from all pain, we remove from them emotional and social essential tools they need to experience the world in healthy ways and to weather life’s storm of disappointment and trouble.
Learning to cope with manageable threats is critical for the development of resilience. Not all stress is harmful. There are numerous opportunities in every child’s life to experience manageable stress—and with the help of supportive adults, this “positive stress” can be growth-promoting. Over time, we become better able to cope with life’s obstacles and hardships, both physically and mentally.
Research has identified a common set of factors that predispose children to positive outcomes in the face of significant adversity
- supportive adult-child relationships;
- a sense of self-efficacy and perceived control;
- opportunities to strengthen adaptive skills and self-regulatory capacities;
- sources of faith, hope, and cultural traditions.
Of course, the most committed adult-child relationships are in families. But in our UU community and in our Religious Education ministries we work to give children and youth opportunities to learn social skills like clear and respectful communications, to have self-efficacy and some actual control by giving them a say in their covenants which guide their interactions; to practice meditation and ways to identify feelings to help them self-regulate and of course; to teach them the sources of our faith tradition, celebrate our traditions; and to help grow their souls, deepen their questions, and help them appreciate the mysteries of life and the universe.
Whether you volunteer in RE, support the youth in their fundraising efforts, come to multigenerational events, work to connect with children and youth in small ways like interacting at Coffee Hour, or pledge to the congregation to help with the costs of our ministry to and with children and youth, I thank you. Resilience is fostered in all our relationships in our religious community.
Support for Adults as Faith Formation Guides
Grit: the Power of Passion and Perseverance
Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of "grit" as a predictor of success.

DONATING TO THE ANNUAL AUCTION IS REWARDING!
|
We enjoy donating to the auction by hosting an annual pool party/barbeque at our house every year. We provide a place for adults and children, meat eaters and vegetarians, swimmers and non-swimmers to spend a few hours together, playing, eating, and socializing.
-Debbie and David MacLeod
Donations to the
Springing in the Rain
auction, to be held on Saturday, March 21st at 6:15 PM, are now being eagerly sought. We encourage new ideas as well as more traditional offerings such as dinners; trips to local places of interest; parties; hikes; and gift certificates or tickets to movies, performing arts venues, or restaurants.
Hesitant to take on hosting an event by yourself? Co-hosting of events is encouraged to divide the work and double the fun! For example, a non-cook who lives in a spacious home can team up with someone who loves to cook but would rather not host.
Auction attendance fees are the same as in years past…$5 in advance or $7 at the door. This includes a night of bidding, socializing and delicious hors d’oeuvres and wine. Parents: Kid-friendly items are up for bid and free child care will be available.
