प्रिय UUCMP परिवार,
Hello from crisp, cool Massachusetts.  The foliage does not disappoint.  I look forward to seeing you all next Sunday as we continue our theme of Deep Listening.  Our elementary students will go on another Nature Walk on our beautiful campus to see what has changed in the past month.  Our teens will continue Crossing Paths to compare the similarities and differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs.
There is a Chalice Lighting sign up sheet that will be at the RE table with our coloring and quiet activity supplies.  Please be sure to sign your child up if they are interested.  Jamie is scheduled to light the chalice this coming Sunday.
Be well!
SHANNON
The Nursery will be open with a space for our youngest little ones to play safely while being supervised by Sunny and Leah.  This is also a place for those with babes-in-arms to rest, change diapers or have another set of hands help out.  
Our monthly Committee on Family Ministry met 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.  Our next meeting will take place Tuesday November 12.

Parents – Did you know RE Staff are at the building starting at 10:15am?  Plan to arrive before service starts and your children can settle in and play before the service while their adults enjoy coffee and conversation.  After the service, children who are not picked up by 1:55 will walk with staff to be reconnected with their families.  If your family will be out of town, email Shannon dre@uucmp.org कृपया हमें बताएं ताकि हम उपस्थिति की योजना बना सकें।
? Would your child like to light the chalice?Every Sunday we try to find a child or youth volunteer to light the chalice. It’s a fun way for kids to participate in the service. DRE Shannon can show kids how to do it before the service if it’s their first time or they need a reminder. See Shannon on Sunday morning if interested. Sign Up at the RE Table!
