亲爱的 UUCMP 家庭,
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.
托儿所将开放,为最小的孩子提供一个安全玩耍的空间,由 Sunny 和 Leah 照看。这里也是怀抱婴儿的人休息、换尿布或让另一双手帮忙的地方。  
父母可以在任何舒适的空间进行母乳喂养,但如果有需要,也可以提供私人哺乳空间——如果您需要任何帮助来寻找哺乳或照顾孩子的空间,请与宗教探索主任 (DRE) Shannon 联系。
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?  计划在礼拜开始前到达,这样您的孩子就可以在礼拜开始前安顿下来玩耍,而他们的大人则可以喝咖啡聊天。礼拜结束后,12:00 之前未接走的孩子将与工作人员一起步行与家人团聚。如果您的家人要出城,请给 Shannon 发送电子邮件 dre@uucmp.org 让我们知道,以便我们可以安排出席事宜。
? Would your child like to light the chalice?每个星期天,我们都会尝试寻找一名儿童或青年志愿者来点燃圣杯。这是让孩子们参与礼拜的一种有趣方式。如果孩子们是第一次这样做或者需要提醒,DRE Shannon 可以在礼拜前向他们展示如何做。如果有兴趣,可以在星期天早上见 Shannon。
