February 2018

 

ImmigrāshCON – February 9-11, 2018 (A youth CONference for students in 7th-12th grades)

An opportunity for both a fun and educational experience. The theme is based around the modern issues surrounding American migrants and our current government administration’s push to end immigration into the U.S. Unitarian Universalist youth will learn about current struggles of immigrants and our call to action. There will be activities both educational and fun, including: guest speakers, videos surrounding immigration, workshops such as baking and yoga, touch groups, and a variety show.

$45 per youth. Partial Scholarships are available through UUFM. Register online at https://onrealm.org/smuuchurch/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=MDE2YmQ4MTktYzNlOS00MDIwLWE4OTctYTg0NzAwYjVhMDU2
