Summer 2021

Your child’s copy of the: 
Service is Our Prayer: Summer of Service 2021 Workbook 
was sent to all kids in the mail. These weekly projects will help your child, as a growing Unitarian Universalist, learn and practice the joy of service others.
Because…Service is Our Prayer.
This Summer we will use a multi-platform approach to classes as we learn how to safely re-open the fellowship and recreate the safest learning experience for your children. Use the workbook during the week, on Sunday log on to Zoom to share experiences and a few games with their friends.
Twice this summer we will meet in person for worship,
Flower Communion on June 13th and Book Communion on August 22nd.
Didn’t get a workbook? Email Sara and we will get one sent to you.
