Minamahal na Mga Pamilya ng UUCMP,
Last Sunday our elementary age group had a big turn out with many of our families returning and some visitors as well.  I anticipate we will have several more families back with us this Sunday – and so we will be ready with fun activities and lessons for all ages.
For most families with school age children, this is the last weekend before we get back to the classroom.   Adults and children may be experiencing anxiety or a sense of relief to get back to a regular routine – perhaps a bit of both with many other feelings in the mix.  Hope that we will be able to connect and support each other during this time of transition.
Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
With gratitude,Shannon
Shannon Morrison (she/her)Director of Religious Exploration, UUCMP
RELIGIOUS EXPLORATION LIBRARY – Karen Brown has put together another beautiful selection of books from our collection – many stories about Earth Day, Unitarianism, spiritual practices and beliefs can be found in the RE library.

? Gusto ba ng iyong anak na sindihan ang kalis? 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 bago ang serbisyo kung ito ang kanilang unang pagkakataon o kailangan nila ng paalala. Tingnan si Shannon sa Linggo ng umaga kung interesado. Ang Chalice Lighting sign up sheet ay nasa RE table kasama ang aming mga supply ng pangkulay at tahimik na aktibidad. Mangyaring tiyaking i-sign up ang iyong anak kung interesado sila!
