September 25, 2024 Estimadas familias de UUCMP, 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. La guardería estará abierta con un espacio para que nuestros más pequeños jueguen de forma segura bajo la supervisión de Sunny y Leah. Este también es un lugar para que quienes tengan bebés en brazos puedan descansar, cambiar pañales o recibir ayuda de otro par de manos. La lactancia materna se puede realizar en cualquier espacio en el que los padres se sientan cómodos, pero hay un espacio de lactancia privado disponible si es necesario; consulte con la Directora de Exploraciones Religiosas (DRE), Shannon, si necesita ayuda para encontrar un espacio para amamantar o cuidar a sus hijos. 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 |
