Religious Education News-
Sept 23, 2020
Hi! As we mourn the loss of an American superhero, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, let us honor her by following her lead. She said, "Fight for the things you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you." Anti-racist baby from last week's story totally agrees!
This week's lesson is on Renewing our Humanity by looking at the topic of mistakes and forgiveness. For our art project this week, you will need a paper towel core roll (not the paper towel unless you are a messy artist), tape, markers or crayons and a picture that you have drawn this week on a sheet of paper. (11x8.5) Just know that we will be writing words on the picture so you may want to create one that is more of a "background". We will also be playing a game of Never Have I Ever, a youth group favorite. See details below.
On October 4th, I will be on vacation and we will not be holding an RE class that day but I hope that all of you will join in to the 10:45am Zoom service that day which will include a pre-recorded pet blessing followed by an all church coffee hour for fellowship. Rev. Doug is looking for pictures of you and your pet with a small snippet about the people and pet in the pictures. His email is dougwuucs@gmail.com
On October 11th we will hold our first integrated service. We will hold an RE Zoom starting at 10:20am where we will start the topic of the day, do an activity/ art project and then join in to the pre-recorded Service for the Story for All ages that will tie into the RE lesson of the day. The children may not want to stay for the whole service (which is ok) but we hope that the parents will and then join in the coffee hour right after the service. We are going to try this format for a few weeks to see if that works for us.
Remember your church family is here to help you in whatever challenges life throws your way. We all have "Lean on Me" moments in our lives and it is ok to reach out. I hope that you will let us know what we can do.
See you Sunday.

SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTION

Our Church is in alignment with the Black Lives Matter movement. We encourage all parents to talk to your children about racism and what the protests are all about. Below are some resources you can use to start the conversation or for you to learn more.
