JOE AND THE PRESCHOOLERS
Question? Do you know everything there is to know about your hands, feet, bending and stretching and singing songs with a ukulele? That’s what our preschoolers are doing. They are also learning about sharing, cooperation and listening and the UU chalice words. They play with trucks, and cars and trains and blocks. Maybe they even play pretend house, or color or paint or make play dough. Wish you could do those things just one more time? Joe Reichlin would be please to have you join him for an hour of Religious Education time with our preschoolers; the class is going strong with Joe and parents as leaders, BUT YOU COULD HELP TOO! JUST SIGN UP ON THE SHEET ON THE DOOR OF ROOM #4 OR CONTACT CINDY WAKELAND at [email protected]
TRUNK OR TREAT
TRUNK OR TREAT IS OCTOBER 30TH 12:00 -2:00 P.M RIGHT HERE AT OUR CHURCH. Don’t worry you have not missed it. There is plenty of time to still join the fun! Check out the Religious Education Bulletin Board in the Fellowship hall and mark a pumpkin that you are planning to attend. OR in the Sunday Order of Service there will be an orange pumpkin for you to mark indicating that you are coming and if would like to host a trunk or table giveaway or game.

Please let the Religious Education Committee know if plan to be there or can help. Thank you so much.

CHURCH ACCESSIBLITY
Are you concerned about our church being fully accessible for everyone that might wish to join us? We are forming a task force to review accessibility issues at our church. After identifying areas that need improvement we will research solutions and submit a report of our findings to the Board of Trustees. If you are interested please attend a brief organizational meeting Sunday, October 16th at 2:00 PM. If you are unable to attend but still wish to participate contact Bill Childers at [email protected].

"BEYOND CATEGORICAL THINKING"
Sunday, October 23rd from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.
It is important that congregations go into the search process with an open mind, and without a preconceived idea of the minister they want (young woman, definitely not a white male, lesbian, gay, etc.). The two workshop leaders, Joann Dale and Michael Takada themselves represent some of the diversity we seek. Beyond Categorical Thinking will help us eliminate divisive dynamics that prevent us from making our best choice together.
Lunch will be served! Please sign up if you plan to attend so that we can plan on numbers. Send an email to [email protected] to sign up. Childcare will be provided, along with lunch for the children. CLICK HERE for more information.
