Build a Bear of Wholeness
For our children in RE on Sunday mornings, we will continue to explore our relationship with our faith home.  We will consider the joys, the responsibilities and the protections that come from our family home and how they relate and can grow with our faith home.  We meet every Sunday morning during the service, and children are welcome to drop in any time to be with our group.  

Nursery During Church 
Niko Pucillo-Dunphy and Jesse Hoyle offer child care during the church service.  Please feel free to bring your infants and toddlers to have fun with Niko and Jesse while you are in the sanctuary participating in the service. 

Youth Group 
Youth Group is tentatively scheduled for January 14 and January 28, 2024.  We will continue with the element of air.  We will work on our mural and start installing it in the Parish Hall.  We meet from 5:00 to7:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

OWL  
The Our Whole Lives curriculum is for youth ages 12 – 16.  We have 3 leaders – Kelly Lownds, Greg Stevens and Katie Melchior sharing the responsibility and privilege of teaching OWL to our youth.  We started on November 5 and meet from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. on Sundays. Our next groups are January 7 and 21.  Please note, we are working hard to respect the youths’ privacy during the class and to ensure they have a safe and separate place to meet.   

RE Committee  
Our RE Committee will meet on Wednesday, January 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.  New members are welcome.
