From Our MinisterThanks so much for your interest in UUCY. From the moment, 60 years ago, this congregation was founded the members have promised support of the search for truth and meaning for children and adults. Lifespan faith development got built into UUCY’s DNA from the beginning! I'm pleased to say this congregation's history has glowing examples of support of professional religious educators and the program. Your gifts and vision are valued here. When I considered moving here to be the settled Parish Minister (after having served as a Minister of RE in our movement) I read the history and saw the programs -- I knew this place would be a good congregation to raise my own children. May you find this to be the right match for you, a place where being empowered to use your gifts bring you joy, and the satisfaction that it builds and transforms UUCY’s program in ways that we may not even yet imagine. I'm looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you as a colleague on our staff team.
Rev. Bob Renjilian, Parish Minister |
From Our Board ChairmanLet me tell you about living in York. I was born here, lived 25 years in the Washington, DC suburbs, then 15 years in Seattle. My wife and I moved back to my home town four years ago. We love this place! Rail trail, local baseball franchise, great parks, evolving night life in our downtown area, excellent health care and beautiful rolling hills to travel on my Harley. This church loves its kids, is vibrant and on the move, and knows how to handle change and move on. I think you would like it here.
George Haldeman, Chair, Board of Directors From Our RE ChairmanThank you for your interest in working with the congregants of UUCY. Historically, the religious education program at UUCY has provided a safe and engaging environment for all RE participants. We are excited to continue moving forward with our multi-generational approach to religious education by bringing onboard an enthusiastic and progressive-minded religious educator who will be dedicated to working collaboratively with all stakeholders at UUCY. As you will find, the people of UUCY are a group of fun-loving, insightful, caring, and devoted individuals looking forward to new opportunities in lifespan religious education.
