RE This Week – September 25th

RE has gotten off to a great start this year! Thank you to all our volunteer teachers, facilitators, and advisors, Children, Youth, and Parents, and our Ministers for coming together and creating the sacred space and beloved community we’re so blessed to share.

This coming Sunday, 9/30, Children in Kindergarten and first grade–the Wonderful Welcome class–will go directly to their classroom in the church hallway at 10:30. Children and Youth, grades 2-8, will meet in the Children’s Chapel on the second floor of Waters House right at 10:30 for our first Children’s Chapel of the year! The format is going to be a bit different than in the past, as we’ll be spending the entire service time together. We’ll begin with Stones of Sharing,followed by a group discussion, and we’ll end with a fun activity. If the weather is nice, we’ll spend some of our time outside. We’ll stay together through the end of service and Children grades 2-5 will wait for their parents/guardians for pick-up, and Youth, grades 6-8, may leave independently and cross the street, if they have a signed permission slip on file.Some of our Senior Youth, grades 9-12, are attending a leadership “con” (youth conference) in Syracuse this weekend; those that come to church are invited to attend the service.

A big THANK YOU to the Youth and Parents who attended this past Sunday’s drum circle and parent circle, and to Rev Lynn and Rev Wendy for leading us into a meaningful shared respite! So much warmth and love among us–such a gift!
