Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

All are welcome to join our fellowship on Sunday, October 19th as we welcome Rev. Pippin back to the pulpit and continue our monthly theme of Cultivating Compassion. RE and YUU will meet this week. Next Sunday, October 26th is an all ages service and RE will meet again in November. 
 
In the Rainbow Room, we will explore generosity in our community and used play based exploration through the lens of the story Stone Soup. 
In the Ocean Room, we will continue our exploration of UU values through art, focusing on our greatest gifts and how to share them within our community. 
 
 
Fall Festival Volunteer opportunities!
 
You are welcome to sign up to host a Trunk as an individual or group, or sign up to lead a planned activity. Trunks are requested to bring an activity to play as well as candy, but if you need help planning a game or providing candy, the fellowship can help out. 
 
There are three options for volunteering with Fall Festival
 
Trunk or Treat – Provide decorated trunk with candy and activity
Volunteer – Lead planned activity with materials provided at the fellowship
Chili – Provide chili in crockpot or toppings
 
If you or your team are interested, please fill out this form and we will contact you! 

Sign up here!

For our Fall Festival celebration, we will be serving a variety of chilis in the fellowship hall after service on Sunday, October 26th. Do you have amazing chili you’d like to share with our community? Sign up or just reply to this email! We appreciate your gracious offering to our community!
