This past Sunday saw RE kicking into full gear! Classes were finishing up their covenants–although these are “live” documents and may change as the year goes on, connections were being made, and lessons shared. I was only able to catch the tail end of the Story for All Ages, but it was clear in the Great Hall, as well as at Waters House, there was a wonderful energy being shared! Passing through the line of Sr Youth with the Children for the second time was again super fun! A quick, but positive and fun connection between the generations!
If you’d like to be a part of our fabulous RE program, let me know! There are many meaningful and fun tasks available!
Sunday, 9/29: Everyone will begin together in the Great Hall and stay through the Story for All Ages. Following SFAA, K/1 Children will be led by their teachers to their classroom in the dining room hallway. The rest of the Children and Youth (except for Coming of Age youth) will meet in the church entryway and be led across the street to their Waters House classrooms. Coming of Age youth will remain in the Great Hall for the full service as part of their RE experience.
Sunday, 10/6: Everyone will begin together in the Great Hall and stay through Story for All Ages, except Coming of Age participants. Following SFAA, K/1 Children will be led by their teachers to their classroom in the dining room hallway. The rest of the Children and Youth (except for Coming of Age) will meet in the church entryway and be led across the street to their Waters House classrooms. Coming of Age youth will remain in the Great Hall for the service and then attend their class from 12-2 in their 3rd-floor Waters House classroom.
The Nursery is available for children five and under during services. As always, all Children and Youth are welcome to attend worship services.
Parents and Guardians, please take a moment after RE to ask your child or youth what they did in RE that day. Leave it open ended and listen to what they have to say about their lesson, their classmates, and their teachers. Our UU kids have SO much insight to share! This past Sunday, one of the children told me their favorite color is rainbow! I’ve decided rainbow is my favorite color too!
