January 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  We’ve moved into our winter quarter where our main focus is on the rich Jewish and Christian heritage of Unitarian Universalism.  Additionally, we have a sprinkling of lessons on the monthly theme. Winter quarter is also a good time to hope for a little snow so we can take a day off and just go sledding.

OUR WHOLE LIVES (OWL) K-2

Our Whole Lives (OWL) for those in Kindergarten through 2nd grade will be offered January 18 – March 1. The K-2 program supports parents in educating children about birth, babies, bodies and families. The weekly one-hour sessions engage children with stories, songs, and activities and include a weekly HomeLink–a homework project for parents and children to do together. If you have questions about this nationally acclaimed curriculum, or if you intend to sign up your child(ren) for the class, please attend a PARENT INFORMATION MEETING on Sunday, JANUARY 5 or JANUARY 12 at the fellowship after the morning service, or Tuesday, JANUARY 7 at the First Congregational UCC Church (700 Poyntz) at 7:00 p.m. Of course, you can always contact Sandy at 341-0135 or dre@uufm.net with questions.

MUSICAL KIDS
UUFM is looking for musical kids to play quiet music from 10:35 to 10:45 prior to service as people are entering the building and mingling. This is a perfect opportunity for young musicians to practice performing in a low pressure, supportive environment. Contact Renae or Sandy if you’re interested.

YOGA FOR KIDS AGES 3 – 6th GRADE

Yoga+Donuts is FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC on the first Sunday of every month at First Congregational church at 700 Poyntz. Winter is a great time to practice mindfulness, make new friends, and enjoy healthy physical activity indoors. Classes are led by a team of trained teachers and are free and open to the public. Donations to defray the cost of this public service are welcome. Caregivers are welcome to stay to observe or drop their kids and enjoy a free hour. More information and registration available on the Shining Light Yoga website or from Sandy.

Remember: all children must be registered for the 2018-2019 year and registration forms are available on the RE bulletin board at the end of the hallway as well as online at:  2019-20 Registration Form

See you soon,
