Dear UU Parents and Guardians,

It has been highly recommended to religious professionals that we should NOT offer our OWL (Our Whole Lives) sexuality education courses online. There will be a gap in our timeline for when we are able to offer OWL in-person to children and youth.

That being said, would you potentially be interested in a facilitated support group called, "Parents as Primary Sex Educators"? for parents of K-12 students. The description states, "The 90-minute sessions use a small group ministry format to engage adults in topics including Gender Identity, Relationships, Social Media, and Consent."

If yes, would you please send me a message just saying something like, "Yes, I'd be interested"?

I would like to gauge whether this is something which would be worthwhile to offer. I know you would obviously need more information to commit to something, but it would help me wrap my mind around this if you are interested in this topic.

Sunday School K-5 
Approximately: 30 minute program geared towards K-5 but open to all ages. Sundays at 11:00AM; Email Chelsea Krafka for Zoom links. [email protected] 

Middle and HS 
We are joining up with the Omaha youth groups - Wednesdays at 7:00PM.

Both MS/HS meetings can be found at this link: 
https://zoom.us/my/firstuuomahareligiouseducation  

We invite all Middle and High School students from Omaha and Lincoln to join us for discussion and community through this app. 'Would you rather' questions - Thoughts along our monthly Soul Matters themes - 'Big questions' related to UUism. Also - a "Pet P age"! So much fun. 

***Be aware that once joining Discord, it opens up the app to multiple pages which will need to be moderated by students themselves and their parents/guardians for security.
