NEW THIS MONTH!
September Theme: Renewal

I will be exploring the possible use of the UUA curricula - 'Chalice Home' and 'Soulful Home' in addition to the Worship 'Core Packets' potentially. 
This is a trial to see how it may fit for our families this year. I'd love to hear what you think! 

At the Table - Questions for Discussion About Renewal

Around the Neighborhood - A Treasure Hunt for Renewal

At Play - Playing Games With Renewal

Additional Resources for Parents With Renewal Theme: 

'Growing in the Dark' article, "It’s been tempting to push my feelings aside and pretend I’m okay. But a very small part of me recognizes there is this opportunity for something new. Renewal. Rebirth."
