Hello Dear Ones,
Summer is flying by! I hope you are enjoying the summer pace and having some fun! I am already looking forward to Fall and getting our Family Faith Formation programs up and running. You will be hearing from Nate on the subject of schedules important dates. Hopefully you have been reading our letters!
I want to extend a personal invitation, too, to all of our helpers, parents and volunteers to attend Fall Family Faith Formation Orientation with 2 opportunities to participate:
Friday, September 6th 7:00-9:00 pm
OR Friday, October 4th 7:00-9:00 pm
In addition, we have a special opportunity this year with our Faith Formation transformation underway to “experilearn” as we build a renewed co-learning community together. We really want you, the families and congregants, to participate with us in creating Sunday programs that meet your needs, support busy family schedules and fit into your lives with fun, experiential ways to connect, learn and grow as UU’s.
To start us off, we are inviting you all to join us for Connection Quest! We are hosting these events 3 Sundays in Sept. after the 11:00 services. September 15th, September 22nd, and September 29th. We hope you will all make it to at least one event and you are welcome at all 3. Food will be provided. We will have activities, discussions, and opportunities to share ideas about what kinds of programs and content are most important to you. I hope to see you there!
In Faith,
Rev. Shelly
