What's Up in Religious Education
Religious Education This Week

We will be celebrating Earth Day with a  multigenerational worship service.  Religious Education classes will not meet. Instead, kids will remain in the Sanctuary with their families for the entire service.  Childcare will be available for kids 2 years old and younger. 

 

Please note, we will not be providing activity bags for kids to play with during the service.  However, families are welcome to bring quiet games, toys, and books with them. 
Maker Night--A Huge Success 
if you missed the Maker Night on Saturday, April 14, you really missed a super fun event.  We had nearly 100 UUCAers in attendance.  All working and learning together.  I want to offer a HUGE thank you to Kathleen Fugle and our 6th Grade RE teachers for leading this event. 

Screenagers: Growing up in the Digital Age (Documentary Film)
UUCA in Partnership with AUCP
Filmmaker Delaney Ruston explores the struggle between parents and youth over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction. Psychologists and brain scientists reveal how tech time impacts kids' development and offer solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.  1 Session:  5/16. Register through Wellspring Wednesdays--Wellspring Wednesdays Registration

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.

RE End Time
Religious Education families please note that our RE classes are an hour long, ending on the half hour.  If service ends before this time we ask that families join our community in Fellowship Hall for coffee and conversation until the 10:30/12:30 pick up time. 
 
Our lessons are carefully planned and timed. Our teachers need this full hour to build community with our kids and complete the day's lesson and activities.  We appreciate your help and cooperation.
