Dear Families,
RE classes begin on Wednesday, September 12
at 6:15 PM. This is the agenda for the evening:
- As you come in, you will find a table with nametags for the kids. Their class assignment will be on the tag.
- Put on the tag and come into church to find where your child's class is sitting. The catechist will be there to welcome you. (Parents are free to sit with the kids.)
- We'll begin with a prayer service together.
- The students will be dismissed with their catechists to go to class.
- While the kids are in class, Cathy will meet with the parents to talk about our focus for the year.
- Near the end of the class period, we'll go over to the gym for our regular dismissal procedure.
Many of you had the chance to hear Steen Metz when he came to meet with our upper grades this last winter. If you missed him, or if you would like to bring others to hear his story of surviving the Holocaust, he will be speaking at the Skokie Holocaust Museum on Saturday, August 25. Details are here.
Some of you have asked how the Kitenge family is faring. Cathy had the chance to visit them recently. The children are growing. Henry has a job in the catering department of a hotel in Skokie and is working hard. Syrya has enjoyed the parks and beach with the kids during the summer months, as she cared for the baby and Paul.
