RE News
submitted by Wenda Sheard, RE Director UUFA
After one Sunday with no children, and this Sunday with only two little ones present at the usual “sing the children downstairs” time of the service, Richard Thieret and Wenda Sheard decided to postpone any more planned RE lessons until school resumes in the fall.
Please, however, continue to bring your little ones to UUFA on Sunday mornings. We will still have fun and build community, even without planned RE lessons.
Below are the names of UUFA members who have signed up so far to do childcare (and/or lessons?) this summer. Because every UU “working with children safety policy” we’ve ever read says we need to have two adults present at all times, we need to have two adults present in order to have the children downstairs.
The sign-up clipboard will go around again this coming Sunday—please do sign up for some fun. Hint: Ask the children to teach you about The Love Bowl—it’s our downstairs, child-friendly version of Joys and Sorrows. Explore all the supplies we have downstairs for impromptu fun. Any questions? Call Wenda. Thanks.
Childcare / RE volunteers so far this summer:
June 17th – Natalie B. & Wenda
August 19th – ?
August 26th – ?
