RE Ugentlige nyheder 25/09/2024


September 25, 2024
Kære UUCMP-familier,
A big thank you to Nora and Anika’s parents, Alina and Jacob, for hosting our Fall Equinox bonfire at Asilomar State Beach last Saturday.  It was a great turn out!  Sunday, after the church service, a few of us met up at Gizdich Ranch to go apple picking and celebrate Jamie’s 8th birthday.  It was quite crowded but delicious fun.  Thank you Andrea, Amy and Jamie for the birthday pie! 
Happening This Sunday Morning: Teens and Tweens: This Sunday our teens continue Crossing Paths curriculum and will begin exploring the path of Christianity.  We are delighted that Konny Murray will join our group as she and Case begin an overview on Christianity.  Elementary Explorations: As the seasons change, we’re excited to focus on Inviting Nourishing Relationships this week. Our elementary grade students will deepen their connections with one another and the natural world. We’ll look for signs of fall on a nature walk and take a meditative moment to reflect on our favorite outdoor places. These activities will help us foster mindfulness and community as we explore together.
Vuggestuen vil være åben med plads til, at vores yngste børn kan lege sikkert, mens de er under opsyn af Sunny og Leah. Dette er også et sted for dem med babyer i armene at hvile, skifte ble eller få et andet sæt hænder til at hjælpe.  
Amning kan udføres på ethvert sted, som en forælder er komfortabel med, men et privat plejerum er tilgængeligt, hvis det er nødvendigt - tjek venligst ind med Director of Religious Explorations (DRE) Shannon, hvis du har brug for hjælp til at finde et sted til at pleje eller passe dine børn.
Our monthly Committee on Family Ministry will meet again virtually on October 8, 2024 from 7:00pm – 8:15pm.  Please join to learn more about upcoming opportunities and to share your ideas for our RE programming.  
With warmth and gratitude,Shannon
Shannon Morrison (she/her)Acting Director of Religious Exploration

Parents – Did you know RE Staff are at the building starting at 10:15am?  Planlæg at ankomme før gudstjenesten starter, og dine børn kan sætte sig ind og lege før gudstjenesten, mens deres voksne nyder kaffe og samtale. Efter gudstjenesten vil børn, der ikke er afhentet kl. 12.00, gå sammen med personalet for at få kontakt til deres familier igen. Hvis din familie skal ud af byen, send en e-mail til Shannon dre@uucmp.org at give os besked, så vi kan planlægge deltagelse.
? Would your child like to light the chalice?Hver søndag forsøger vi at finde en børne- eller ung frivillig til at tænde kalken. Det er en sjov måde for børn at deltage i gudstjenesten på. DRE Shannon kan vise børn, hvordan de gør det før tjenesten, hvis det er deres første gang, eller de har brug for en påmindelse. Se Shannon søndag morgen, hvis du er interesseret.
