Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

All are welcome to join our Fellowship on Sunday, April 12th at 10:30 AM as we continue to explore the theme of Embracing Possibility with an all-ages service led by Dr. Amy Rosemond. RE and YUU will meet again on April 19th.
 
Remember that Kahla will be on Sabbatical until August 1st! Our wonderful team of UUFA staff and volunteers will keep things moving for Kahla throughout the Spring and Summer.
 

Our camp is run by our amazing childcare provider and art educator, Courtney Smith along with several of our wonderful childcare staff and RE volunteers.

Join us for a weeklong wonderland of creativity, curiosity, and play! Campers will create art in several mediums, explore ways to co-create through collaborative processes and use artistic expression as a way to reimagine the future. Creative Exploration Under the Pyramid is a place where children are valued as whole beings and seen as a vital part of our world.

For our creative campers in middle and high school who are looking for a leadership role, we will also be offering Creative Leaders in Training. CLTs will assist with our camp while serving as role models and gaining valuable leadership skills.

Help with Food Insecurity through April CANtributions

Please continue to bring non-perishable food items to Fellowship Hall’s wicker baskets. While all CANtributions are appreciated, in April the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank is especially in need of canned meats (canned chicken, beef stew, chicken and dumplings, spam), tomatoes (the chunky version such as whole, stewed or diced), and snacks (chips, nuts, granola bars, snack crackers). To give by credit card, visit uuathensga.org/give and look for “Charitable Giving.” To give by check, make the check out to UUFA and put “CANtributions 1-8016” in the memo line. To learn more, contact justice@uuathensga.org. If you are experiencing food insecurity or know someone in our UUFA community who is, please contact Rev. Pippin (revpippin@uuathensga.org).
