Dear UU Parents and Guardians, ​

Sunday School in a Bag may be arriving at your door sometime in the next week or so!

The theme for this bag is our 2nd principle. In words children can easily understand, this is simplified to: "Be Kind in All You Do"

The bags go out to those who registered their children in September and marked that they DID want the bags delivered to their door. If you missed that window, and have decided you would like to be a part of the deliveries, please let me know and I can be sure you include you for the next round of bags.
 Family Spotlight! 
In an effort for us to remember seeing faces, and to get to know one another better, I am going to spotlight one family each month in our church newsletter. (SO easy. PLEASE sign up. I promise it will not take much time at all.)
Plenty of spots left. 
Sign up HERE to participate
It would be lovely if you could join us for our weekly gatherings!
