RENews:
This past Sunday, children and youth concluded the RE theme of the month, paying attention!
The PreK/K group learned about the importance of paying attention to water. They started the class by playing a fun movement game, then they introduced themselves to the class and shared their favorite outside activity. Afterwards, they observed some cool water, and read the book All the Water in the World by George Ella Lyon. Then they did some water color painting!
The 1st - 8th grade group learned about the importance of paying attention to inequality. They read the book Something Happened in our Town: a Child’s Story about Racial Injustice, and they had conversations about injustice in small groups. After discussing, they played an unjust penny pick up game. Then they broke into groups based on interest, the craft group made an equity flower garden, and the activity group played a movement game centered around justice.
The high school youth group gathered after service to eat, chat, and play fun games!
Sunday, April 5th - Donations needed for Easter “Can Hunt”
We need food donations of shelf-stable proteins (cans/pouches of meat, peanut butter, canned beans, etc.)! No glass containers. Collected items will be donated to Emmanuel Food Pantry after the activity. Please bring the donations to the RE Sign-In table before service on Sunday, April 5th.
April 5th will be multigenerational (no RE), but RE will be putting on a special Easter “Can Hunt” for children after the service. Youth will hide the donated items we collect, then children will go on an “egg hunt” to find them. They will trade their found cans for treats and surprises to take home!
