Children and Youth Summer Religious Education --
We Need YOU!
In the summer months, the Children and Youth Religious Education Program takes a special turn from the regular fall and spring curricula. We invite UUCH members and friends to plan a learning session for the children and youth. You'll be part of a teaching team as either the lead teacher or a helper; and we'll be sure to have a regular Religious Education (RE) teacher there as support. Even children and youth can partner with an adult to lead a session!
We invite you to sign up to lead a session that shares a special talent, hobby, skill, or learning area of yours. Here are some topics to get your creative juices flowing: yarn craft, music, finger painting, scrapbooking, nature walks, gardening, yoga, science, paper airplanes, drawing, Lego, origami, fossils, friendship bracelets, mythology, sidewalk chalk, pottery, cookie-making. The possibilities are limitless! What is a joy to you can be a joy to others.
Leaders will prepare a topic/activity that is adaptable to children ages 4 to 12. Senior high youth are invited to participate as leaders and helpers, or to attend the regular worship service in the sanctuary. Because of our exciting program growth, we'll need even more leaders and helpers this summer than before! So, don't be shy!
We have room for the sharing of your gifts. There's nothing like spending time with the children and youth at our church. Their energy, creativity, and intelligence are contagious. And they benefit from interacting with caring adults who make an investment in them. This is what multi-generational community is all about!
For the next month, we'll have posters standing in the church foyer and Fellowship Hall where you can sign up for a summer Sunday session. Alternatively, you can contact Erin Reid, Director of Religious Education (DRE), at dre@uuch.org or Audrey Fox, CYRE Chair, at children.re@uuch.org.

Join church friends for an All-ages Camp-out on Friday, May 18th, to Saturday, May 19th, at the country home of Amanda Schuber and Wanda Snoddy (200 Jo Mar Road, Ardmore, AL). The camp-out will begin at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and end at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. You are welcome to come anytime starting at 2:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon for set-up and time on the farm.
All church members and friends are invited! Come for supper and the campfire in the evening if you can't spend the night. Children and youth should attend with parents/guardians. Dogs and instruments are welcome!
Plan to bring tents, sleep gear, jackets, sturdy shoes, change of clothes, camp chairs, flashlights, outdoor games you'd like to play, food to share, and your spirit of adventure and community fun.
Children should bring play clothes, as mud is always likely.
Supper will be traditional campfire food, and breakfast will be breakfast burritos (eggs from the chickens next door), plus other breakfast treats including vegan options. Bring your own drinks (non-alcoholic only for this multi-generational event).
Follow this
link to RSVP for the camp-out and to sign up to bring a camping classic food item: hot dogs and veggie dogs, beans, chips and dip, s'mores, hot chocolate, and more!
Bathrooms will be available in the house and will close at 9:30 a.m. Allergy warning: cats, dogs, and guinea pigs live in the house.
This event is sponsored by the Children and Youth Religious Education program. Email dre@uuch.org for additional information. All ages are welcome!

Care List
This Sunday, May 6, 2018,
at our Circle of Candles:
Susan Coddington: lit a candle of joy; My husband, Tim, is much improved after his back surgery. He is walking daily without assistance. Thanks for all your love and concern.

Bob Weed: lit a candle of joy; Happy Birthday to Jefflyn! She has become our church's newest septuagenarian.
Amanda Schuber: lit a candle; I expect to hear if I have been accepted into Divinity School next week. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I do the thing I dislike the most . . . wait!
Lauren Childers: lit a candle of joy and sorrow; I'm officially divorced after 9-1/2 years together. It has been one of the hardest part of my life, but I was extremely lucky to have, and continue to have, an amazing support system. Thank you to all of you who have checked on me and listened when I was inconsolable. A special thanks to my honorary sister, Elizabeth. You're the best sis ever. Don't tell my actual sisters. Also, Happy Birthday to my dad, Paul Harris. My dad is 60 and that feels really weird to say.
