Snack Parent Sign Ups
Please help our your child's RE teachers by volunteering as a snack parent. Snack parents bring a healthy, nut free snack to class and then remain in class to help out.
Sign up in your child's class on Sunday.
Pick up Your Banner
If your child created a banner last year (grades 1st-4th) they are ready for pickup downstairs in the Resource Room.
A huge thank you to Barbara Buzzell for organizing the banners for easy pick up!
Next All Welcome Service
Will be Sunday, April 1st. That's Easter Sunday! Kids and youth will remain with their families in the Sanctuary for the entire service. Childcare will be available in the nursery for the very young.
Annual Family Campout
Save the date-- June 22-24, 2018. Note this is NOT Father's Day weekend.
Plan to join UUCA members, friends, and acquaintances in Shenandoah National Park next June for our annual retreat! Most campers stay in Big Meadows Campground and many people who don't want to camp stay in Big Meadows lodge!
The weekend is open to all and family-friendly.

Upcoming Events

AUCP is offering a workshop (5-part series) on discipline. Please check it out! Reservations are not required. Workshop starts tomorrow, Jan. 10 and runs for five consecutive Wednesdays. Meet at UUCA's Activity Room from 7-9 PM.
Join Michael Swisher and Erik Endo for this 5 part series designed to support parents in developing strategies for discipline. Each session builds on the previous session allowing parents the opportunity to try things at home and come back the next week with questions and suggestions to share with other.
Topics include- Session 1-Introduction to Discipline Session 2-Structure and Routines Session 3-Expectations and Incentives Session 4-The Right Response Session 5-Consequences
Workshops are free and open to the public. It is designed as part of a series but participants can attend a single session as well. No need to RSVP. First session will meet in the Activity Room.
1st Grade OWL--Final Call
This is our final call for the 1st Grade Our Whole Lives program. Dates are Jan. 28th--March 11th. If you are interested in your 1st grader (or 2nd grader who missed the program last year) participating in the OWL program please send a message to LeeAnn at
LWilliams@uucava.org.
Please note, at this point due to low registration, I am not sure we will have enough children to hold two separate OWL classes for 1st grade this year. If this is indeed the case OWL will be offered at 2nd service. 1st service families will be allowed to register on for the 2nd service session on a first come/first served basis. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is the sexuality and our faith program. You can read more about it
