With music from Julie Enersen (and choir friends), Jack Forbes Wilson, Sylvie Lozier, and Bob Fuson, we danced our way through the night. The SoUUper Supper also included stories from Jason Slaughter, Kim Ziemann, and a couple of stories read by me. Isabel and Emma Letts brought an art project to our event. Staff members made cameo appearances and mentioned what we would have brought to our potluck if we had been in person. You can watch the video with this LINK if you missed out on the original or you just want to relive the experience. We also premiered a new event in December 2020 ... our Stuffed Animal Sleepover! From getting into the copy machine in the office, singing hymns around the piano, and rummaging in our craft supply closet, our animal friends had quite the adventure while the building was otherwise not occupied! Children and adults alike were encouraged to register their stuffie friends for a mini-camp at the church over LPS winter break. Each animal friend went home with a mask to help keep them and their human companions safe. This was a fun way to remind our church community of what the inside of our church building looks like, and for them to connect with our space in a safe way during the pandemic. Looking forward to all the new adventures that 2021 will bring to us!  Dear UU Parents and Guardians,
Stuffie Sleepover This activity was a huge hit, and lots of fun! Even if you did not have a Stuffie join our 'camp' at the church, the videos are still great for kids to watch. You can get another peek inside the church building, and learn alongside the Stuffies about our UU principles.
