Both 1st and 5th OWL classes are now full. Contact LeeAnn about next year's programs.  

Religious Education Class Times
 
RE classes end at 10:30/12:30--in order to give our parents a few minutes of social time before picking kids up from class.  We ask that parents of kids 4th grade and younger pick up kids from their RE classes. Kids 5th grade and older will be dismissed from class and are instructed to find their parents.


Religious Education Registration
If you have not done so, please take a moment to register your child/ youth for RE classes. 



Collecting Holiday Cards
 
 Drop off holiday cards at the downstairs RE Welcome Desk. We will be using them for a project next year.  Thanks!

Weekly RE Family News
 
If you are not receiving the weekly RE family newsletter please take a moment to register your child or youth.  Registering for RE places you on our class rosters and class mailing list, therefor adding you to the priority list for special events and classes such as OWL.

RE NURSERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
 
We are looking for a few volunteers at each service to volunteer in our nursery. The commitment is one hour and a half during service once or twice a month. If you enjoy playing with little ones (3 and under), reading stories, and stewarding our youngest congregants in their UU faith development, please email Leeann at lwilliams@uucava.org  for more information.
At Home Volunteers Needed
 
For at-home volunteer opportunities, we are looking for 3-4 crafty people to help us complete some of our Spirit Play story boxes, as we have little pieces here and there than need to replaced or added. If you like to craft and want to share these stories with your little ones at home, this is a great opportunity for you. Please email LeeAnn at lwilliams@uucava.org for more information.
