Дорогие семьи UUCMP!
Last Sunday we transitioned back to two services!  Although there were a few minor technical hiccups the day overall went smoothly.  It was nice to see so many families in attendance this Sunday and I even got to attend the first service mostly uninterrupted which was lovely.
This Sunday we will only have the 9:30 service, during the time for the second service we will have our Annual Connections Fair!  My staff will be available to supervise the kids while parents/caretakers have the opportunity to connect with the many clubs, committees and activities our church community has to offer.  If you have been curious about a group at church or wanting to find ways to connect this Sunday will be a time for connection.    Food, fun, laughter and learning are sure to be a part of this Sunday at UUCMP.If you want to go to the service, plan to attend the First Service at 9:30 am I will have staff available to supervise the kiddos – we will build blanket forts and stories this Sunday at the early service!  
Hope you are all having a good week!

Warmly,ShannonShannon Morrison (she/her)Director of Religious Exploration, UUCMP

? Ваш ребенок хотел бы зажечь чашу? Каждое воскресенье мы стараемся найти ребенка или подростка-добровольца, чтобы зажечь чашу. Это веселый способ для детей поучаствовать в службе. DRE Шеннон может показать детям, как это сделать, перед службой, если они в первый раз или им нужно напоминание. Зайдите к Шеннон в воскресенье утром, если вам интересно. Лист регистрации для зажжения чаши будет на столе RE вместе с нашими раскрасками и принадлежностями для тихих занятий. Пожалуйста, не забудьте записать своего ребенка, если ему интересно!
