Hello UUCMP Families,This Sunday marks the start of a new month and theme – February we will be celebrating how Inclusion matters.   Teachers and children to explore how the practice of inclusion shows up in their living and loving.  
Our Nursery (6 months to age 5)  teachers will have a simple craft and snack along with free choice play activities in the nursery.    Elementary (ages 5-11) teachers will have an activity and discussion about the story for all ages and the role of inclusion in our lives.  They will get a chance to play outside before we come in – and perhaps one of our children will want to read a story to the younger children in the nursery after our morning snack.  Our Teens and Tweens (12+) have a visitor this weekend! Ann Jacobson will join and share the significance of Shabbat and will also bring along  home made challah to share with the children of all ages.
Please plan to join us at Moss Beach this Saturday for Imbolc – the return of the sun and start of spring.  We will plant seeds and enjoy poppy seed cake and sit around the fire.   Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we can be sure to have enough food and supplies for all.
热情地，香农
RELIGIOUS EXPLORATION LIBRARY – Karen Brown has put together another beautiful selection of books from our collection – many stories about Martin Luther King, practices and beliefs can be found in the RE library.  Come back and see what books you may want to check out for the youth in your life, or those young at heart.

? 您的孩子想点亮圣杯吗？每个星期日，我们都会尝试寻找儿童或青年志愿者来点亮圣杯。这是让孩子们参与礼拜的一种有趣方式。如果这是孩子们第一次点亮圣杯或者他们需要提醒，DRE Shannon 可以在礼拜之前向孩子们展示如何点亮圣杯。如果感兴趣，可以在星期日早上找 Shannon。圣杯点亮报名表将放在 RE 桌子上，旁边还有我们的着色和安静活动用品。如果您的孩子感兴趣，请务必为他们报名！
