What rituals and practices help us remember and bring care to the grief and loss we know as individuals and communities? How might we move it through our bodies, and what roles do beauty and singing and laughter have to play? How might we hold multiple stories and experiences within and among ourselves all at once? Join us on Sunday for shared song and story and searching as we explore the origins of Memorial Day and strengthen ourselves for the journey ahead.

Religious Education Info for Summer

From May 19 through Sept. 8, Religious Education is worship. There are no classes or formal curriculum. Kids and youth of all ages are invited to worship in the Sanctuary with their families.

In the summer months, childcare is also available for children ages 6 months to Kindergarten in rooms 102 and 104 during Sunday worship from 9:45-11:15 a.m.

We will also set up the Cummins Room on Sunday mornings with the worship livestream, along with art supplies and quiet toys for families with older children who need a little more wiggle space. The Cummins Room will not be staffed, and all children must be accompanied by one of their adults at all times.

Religious Education classes and curriculum resume Sept. 15. Watch for registration to open in late May. In the meantime, we are looking for more volunteers to minister with our kids and youth in the Fall. Volunteers with all sorts of sills are needed at many ages and programming formats! All volunteers will be provided with thorough training and ongoing support, and no previous experience with Religious Education is needed. If you are open to further conversation about volunteering, please reach out to Allison – she will be delighted to connect.

Please reach out to Allison Connelly-Vetter, Interim Director of Children, Youth, & Family Ministries, with questions or for more information at allison@firstuniv.org.
