What's Happening in Religious Education This Week . . .
Preschool and K+ classes will hear stories about the birth of Jesus. 11:15am3rd-6th graders are learning about the importance of being present through mindfulness exercises. Our Whole Lives Sexual Education for our 7th & 8th graders continues. High school youth group will be "falling in lovein 45 minutes," a group-building and getting to know you activity.
Lots of Visitors These Days
There are many new people visiting at our services these days, and we want to be sure they get a warm welcome. In difficult political times, we often see more newcomers who are seeking out a community of safety and reason. Please make a special effort to welcome people you don't know on Sunday mornings or at other services and events. It will make a positive difference for everyone.
