Nursery Care

RE Children’s Classes
This year the children are exploring the concept of home, their family home, the homes of creatures of the earth, their spiritual homes and the homes of those outside our community and in the larger world.  We will consider our spiritual home and the symbols we embrace to represent it.  We build a bear of wholeness through the year, stuffing a teddy bear and filling it with badges that match our values, goals and loves. 

Annual Bonfire
Our Annual Bonfire Party on Sunday, October 29.  Currently, the party is planned at the church from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.  More to come on our plans.  We will have our traditional bone hunt, mummy wrapping contest, trick or treat game and donut eating contest but will also try to add some new traditions.  Please plan to join the RE families and youth.

LGBTQIA Support Group
We are still working on this being a functional group.  We had a successful couple of groups for planning in the spring and will work to make this a great group this fall. We’ll meet on the 4^th Wednesday of the month, October 25, at the church from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.  It is planned for youth, families and allies of the youth.  

Volunteers for RE Classes
I will be reaching out looking for people to be downstairs with me again this year.  I need an adult every week to help ensure we have a safe, well managed classroom for our youth.  CORIs are completed on each volunteer and are good for three years.
