Minamahal na Mga Pamilya ng 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.
Magbubukas ang Nursery na may puwang para sa aming mga bunsong maliliit na bata upang maglaro nang ligtas habang pinangangasiwaan nina Sunny at Leah. Ito rin ay isang lugar para sa mga may babes-in-arms para makapagpahinga, magpalit ng diaper o magkaroon ng isa pang hanay ng mga kamay na tumulong.  
Maaaring gawin ang pagpapasuso sa anumang lugar kung saan komportable ang magulang ngunit available ang pribadong nursing space kung kinakailangan – mangyaring mag-check in sa Director of Religious Explorations (DRE) Shannon kung kailangan mo ng anumang tulong sa paghahanap ng lugar para mag-nurse o mag-aalaga sa iyong mga anak.
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?  Magplanong dumating bago magsimula ang serbisyo at ang iyong mga anak ay maaaring manirahan at maglaro bago ang serbisyo habang ang kanilang mga nasa hustong gulang ay nasisiyahan sa kape at pag-uusap. Pagkatapos ng serbisyo, ang mga batang hindi sinusundo sa 12:00 ay lalakad kasama ng mga tauhan upang muling makaugnay sa kanilang mga pamilya. Kung ang iyong pamilya ay nasa labas ng bayan, mag-email kay Shannon dre@uucmp.org para ipaalam sa amin para makapagplano kami ng attendance.
? Would your child like to light the chalice?Tuwing Linggo ay sinisikap naming humanap ng isang bata o kabataang boluntaryong magsisindi ng kalis. Ito ay isang masayang paraan para sa mga bata na lumahok sa serbisyo. Maaaring ipakita ni DRE Shannon sa mga bata kung paano ito gagawin bago ang serbisyo kung ito ang kanilang unang pagkakataon o kailangan nila ng paalala. Tingnan si Shannon sa Linggo ng umaga kung interesado.
