Sundays in July
Our 5th annual Specialty Class Summer (our summer program for children preK-5th grade on Sunday mornings which runs June 1st - Resumption Sunday in September) is off to a great start! These lessons consist of fun & informative experiences led by congregants and special guests.
July features lessons on beekeeping, our UU ancestor, Fannie Farmer, and much more!
Youth are invited to remain in the sanctuary throughout the summer.
This month's suggested readings for families/parents are silly and fun!
- The Book with No Pictures - B.J. Novak
- Woolbur - Leslie Helakowski
