SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTION
Our Social Action theme this year for our children is Climate Change and how that impacts our weather, world hunger, immigration, homelessness, and racial justice and our rights to have clean air, land and water. 
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH-  Social Action Sunday
The children will be learning about gratitude and how gratitude and empathy can help others.  Right after the service, the Children will be selling to the congregation members for a $1 each, a paper leaf that the member can write down their feelings of gratitude which will be posted on our Tree of Life hanging.  Proceeds will go to help The Streets of Paradise, a non-profit group that helps Sarasota's homeless.  Isla and Luke's dad, is one of the founders of this group.
