Religious Education News- September 17, 2019
Happy Mid-September!
Last Sunday we started our new program year by starting off in the Service where our new associate minister, Beth Miller, talked to all of us about how children are organizing and making waves (pun intended) about global climate change. Her parting words to the children/youth: "You have the power!" Each of the classes then started their new curriculums. If you want more information on those curriculums, click here for PreK-5th Grade and here for Youth Group.
We had a fun Youth outing on Sunday to the Lokey Escape Room, "In Detention". Will post the group photo soon.
This week-end, we have 3 events scheduled.
Friday afternoon 3:45-5:30pm- Global Climate Strike at the Bayfront Park. details below.
Saturday evening 5-8pm- All Church Bowling Outing at Sarasota Lanes. details below.
Sunday 11:45-12:30pm- RE Meeting. Your input and support is needed. Snacks will be provided.
See You Sunday!!
