The weather was too nice to stay inside so we all ventured outside and up the hill. Alas, the fairy church is no more. Molly had us all searching for flowers that could be pressed and turned into book marks. (I’ve seen the results and they’re beautiful!) The book marks will be available at the … Continue reading Outside fun
A little rain didn’t dampen our Family Fun event – planting a garden in the raised beds. A handful of folks turned out to plant beans, peas, flowers, clover, tomatoes, and more. We can’t wait to see what comes up! Click on a picture to get a better view.
We learned a little about helping others during the story for all ages and then moved to our classes and began creating note cards to help raise money for All’s Fair Kansas. The popular note cards will be available at the Farmer’s Market when UU member Laura Lott has a booth. Yay Laura!
On Sunday we were all front and center. We shared a tiny bit about our lessons on World Religions from the year. Everyone got to read part of the story – great job! We also shared our 7 principles song and our favorite hymns. We also talked about our clearer understanding of the seven principles … Continue reading Our Year

Everyone is still enjoying the World Religions curriculum. Last Sunday individual classes, in different ways, touched on Catholicism, Buddhism, and Christianity while the pre-K kids wondered about the moon and the nursery group sang songs, read stories, and built with blocks. Today more than 20 of us ventured out and enjoyed the St. Patrick’s Day … Continue reading A lot of green…
The 7-9 class listened to an “Inquiring Minds” podcast about “why there are atheists” – the neuroscience/psychology behind what makes people religious or non-religious. Discussion followed and some of it even came home! Coming up: a section on Christianity with Larry Weaver. The 3-6 grade students started a three-week unit on Catholicism. Molly reports, “We … Continue reading Inquiring Minds…
The Kids did a great job today moving all the canned goods that were collected for the Flint Hills Breadbasket. There are even more kids around the corner and down the hallway. That’s one long line of kids getting the food from point A to point B. Thanks!
