Children and Youth Ministry Update Sunday November 1

DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FOR THE TIME CHANGE!

Happy November,
This month brings many activites and chaces for reflection. I hope all families are able to share in the joy of cooking together, snuggling with blanket and a good book, discerning how to give to the community, watching the leaves turn and fall. It really is amazing how many small treasured moments can exist in one day, if we only take the time to notice.

RE is about taking time to notice the spirit. We make a special time each week to think about our spirits, our friends, and our actions. We make time to remember how to be a good person and to find new ways to grow. We make time to connect with oneanother in joy and sorrow. We take time to be fully human and fully awake.

This Sunday the classes are:
9am Preschool- Making friends with our fears
Kindergarden-1st grade- What is Friandship
