Care famiglie dell’UUCMP,
Last weekend we divided out of our “One Room Schoolhouse” model and our elementary students got to meet our new teacher, Daisy! Elementary age kiddos were able to meet in our center classroom which has been used for storage since the onset of the pandemic. Our tweens/teens in 7th-9th grade started the Crossing Paths curriculum and will be meeting on our lower level in the Clara Barton room. This Sunday Crossing Paths will have a few guest volunteers to serve as interviewees for our teens to ask questions about their faith.
Don’t forget to stop by the RE Table at the Connections Fair after church this Sunday!
For children kindergarten through sixth grade we have some engaging activities planned around this month’s theme: Invito. We recently had two new families visit – we hope to get to know each other through games and play and discover what is inside the Wonder Box this week!
Our monthly Committee on Family Ministry met tonight and will meet again the last Tuesday of the month – our next meeting will take place September 24, 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

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 12:00 will walk with staff to be reconnected with their families. If your family will be out of town, email Shannon dre@uucmp.org per farcelo sapere in modo da poter pianificare la partecipazione.
Vostro figlio vorrebbe accendere il calice?
Ogni domenica cerchiamo di trovare un bambino o un giovane volontario per accendere il calice. È un modo divertente per far partecipare i bambini al servizio. DRE Shannon può mostrare ai bambini come farlo prima della funzione se è la prima volta o se hanno bisogno di un promemoria. Se sei interessato, vedi Shannon domenica mattina.
