Religious Education News-
April 9, 2021
Another glorious week in South Florida. So hard to stay inside and actually work.
I want to thank ALL of you who helped to create and support the Easter Parade Drive Thru. It was a lot of fun to put it together and those that joined in had a wonderful time visiting with others without the "screen" in-between. Special thanks to our "sleighing it" crew, Dawn and Chris for their artistry in our yard decorations and then the crew for helping to paint and decorate. People love them!

Besides our RE ZOOM at 10:30am this Sunday (see details below) we have several important events that need you to be there!
1) This Sunday at 2pm via this Zoom Link, we will be holding a Congregational Conversation on "How Big is the Tent". We'll explore a couple of related core identity questions within the congregation. This is a listening session, not one to change each others minds or debate but to listen with open minds and hearts as we cover the topics of How Big is the Tent as relates to diversity (especially age diversity) and How Big is the Tent for social justice outreach into the community. Your thoughts will help shape on what path forward would best serve the future of the congregation.
2) Saturday, April 24th at 4-6pm. Mulch Spreading Party and Picnic! Our playground equipment will hopefully be installed sometime before April 23rd and we will be having truckloads of mulch delivered that we need to spread. Come join us that day at church, bring a picnic, spread some mulch and play on the new equipment. I will provide drinks for the thirsty workers.
3) Sunday, April 25th at 10:30am. BEACH PICNIC at South Lido Beach. This has been moved from the 18th due to a scheduling conflict. Come bring yourself, your beach toys and a picnic. We'll simply have fellowship and enjoy a post-Earth Day celebration.
Hope to see you Sunday!
