All youth will begin in the sanctuary with their parents. Following the hymn, Spirit of Life, classes will begin.  On special occasions, children will begin in their classrooms so that we may hold “children’s chapel” in the fellowship hall.  Please check the “RE Welcome Board” in the RE wing (east entrance) to find out what is happening in RE each Sunday morning.

This Sunday we will enjoy games of skill and silliness! Our MS liaison, Velvet Miller, has organized special activities for her classroom. The HS class will be in the sanctuary this morning.

This Sunday we invite you to the RE Wing for coffee hour. Please accept this invitation to visit our classrooms, meet our teachers, visit with our RE families, and view the curriculums we will be using this year. As a special treat you will find a different taste delight in every classroom

There will be a RE registration table set up in the Fellowship Hall throughout the month of September. Please stop by and pick up our RE Children & Youth Prospectus 2010-2011 and fill out a registration form for your family. We ask our families to complete a registration form each September to keep our files current.

“TENDING THE FLAME” by Michelle Richards, led by Mary Bradley, will be our next series. Please contact me Nadine childcare is needed. We will be meeting on the following Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Blue Room: September 23, 30 and October 7. “In this first-of–its-kind guide to Unitarian Universalist parenting, mother and experienced religious educator Michelle Richards encourages a practical and proactive approach to raising Unitarian Universalist children. This comprehensive resource offers suggestions for incorporating spiritual practices into family life, teaching the Principles in age-appropriate ways, answering difficult questions on religious matters and dealing with religious disagreements.”

RE Classes end at noon. Parents of children in the Nursery, Preschool, and K-2^nd must go to the classrooms to pick up their children. Please pick up your children in a timely manner, so that our teachers and assistants can also enjoy coffee hour. Children and youth in all other classes will be allowed to leave their classrooms and find their parents within the church building when class is over. If someone other than a parent is to pick up a child after a church activity, please notify the teacher beforehand

We still have one opening for a classroom teacher for our K-2^nd grade class.   If you are interested or have questions, please contact the DRE at 288-9561 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
