Hello UUCMP Families,Last Sunday all of our kids joined together to play outside and gathered under the big pine tree to learn about Tu B’Shevat – or New Year of the Trees.  We then celebrated by sharing a seder plate of various fruits, fresh and dried while Rebecca shared the origin of the holiday.  With Daisy’s help we also created our own CommuniTree using our thumbprints and shaping them into various fruits and animals.  
This Sunday 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 for morning snack.  Our Teens and Tweens (12+) will have the opportunity to join the younger children again this Sunday as we think more about the role of inclusion.
Thank you to Catherine Ferguson and the Mogri family, the Bagley family, the Bey-Davis family and the Fondren family for joining after the service last Sunday to plant seeds and share special treats for an Imbolc celebration!
热情地,香农
