RENews:
This past Sunday, children and youth gathered to wrap up the September theme of the month, belonging!
The PreK - K group played a fun game of ‘pass the pumpkin’, listened to the book “All the World” by Liz Garton Scanlon, and played a fun game to learn about the web of life. Then, the group had a great time playing on the playground!
The 1st - 5th grade group read the story “The Apple Tree’s Gift” and learned about the UU value of generosity. Then, they split into groups based on interest. Both groups headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The activity group used leaf prints to create a chalice cloth, while the game group played the game parachute of belonging, where they learned more about their friends and practiced including everyone!
In 6-8th RE, we welcomed two new teachers joining us for this year! We also had a guest come talk about the opportunity for youth to be featured in the upcoming Art Gallery show. We played games related to interdependence and did a fun activity categorizing 20 random items.
High School Youth Group had our first Lock-In of the year, and 11 teens joined for a night of fun, food, fellowship, and lots of laughs.
