We are a growing, caring, loving community of children and adults who are learning about the interdependent web of life this year. The garden space is growing, and we are grateful to be able to use the land behind the church to continue our exploration of nature. We will have nature walks every month and explore our local environment, the habitats around us and the animals and plants that are near us. What is our role in sustainability? How do we fit in the world? We will work on answering the questions together this year. Registration is rolling throughout the year and is available here: Religious Exploration Registration Form (google.com)
Earth Advocates!
We are learning about animal habitats and transformations in nature this month. The kids have loved exploring the new outdoor space and are planting items for the spring. We are going to make some very exciting gardens and hopefully create some nice habitats together.
Youth Group
Youth Group is for children 6th grade and up. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. when we have enough children to make a group. We have been going on outings and helping around church. We are very excited to try working with the Taunton UU church to build some more opportunities to be together in different ways.
Babysitting Available!
Nursery Care continues to be available for babies and toddlers under five years of age each Sunday from 10:15 to 11:45 a.m. Child care is also offered during other church activities.
Family Services
The children will be upstairs for family services once a month. Our next one is on December 22, 2024, and we will be having the service in the evening to celebrate the winter solstice.
RE Committee
The RE Committee meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 pm. In December it will be on December 11. We meet at church in the Parish Hall. Christine Hoyle is the committee chair. We are always looking for new volunteers.
Roller Skating at Forest Family Fun Center
On December 1 we will be joining the Taunton church from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. We will meet at the Center. I make sure there are enough adults to supervise the children if any parents want to drop of their children and take time out for holiday shopping or cheer.
Holiday Party
We will be celebrating the winter holidays together on Sunday, December 8 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. Friends are welcome to join us that day; anyone can join! Please see the flyer on the home page.
