Mystery Pals begins February 16th

Mystery Pals is a multi-Sunday event in which children and youth are anonymously (it’s a Mystery!) paired up with an older person (a youth or adult). Pairings are based on shared interests, and participants learn who their Mystery Pals are only on the final Sunday.

Sing up here! https://www.ouuc.org/education/family-ministry/

All Ages Game Night, January 25th

All Ages Game Night and Potluck

At a recent lunch I heard a lot of enthusiasm for games, so let’s get together and play!
Saturday, January 25, from 6 pm – 9 pm, we will have a game night and potluck in the OUUC commons.

Please bring a dish to share, and if you have a favorite game, bring it along. This could include board games, charades, go fish, poker - you name it. We’ll eat dinner and then start playing – if you can’t make it to dinner, come join us for the games later.

If you have infants or small children who will need child care, please let me know by January 18 (Sharon Love olyshar@gmail.com), and I’ll work with Sara to ensure we have caregivers on site. There is no charge for childcare. We hope older children will be joining in the party!

January's Theme is Integrity

This month the theme is “Integrity”. This means the qualities of being Honest, and Dependable, and Whole. For children, it is understood as matching what you do to what you say and to your ideas, and keeping your promises.

We will be tying in Confucius’s Golden Rule and Buddha’s Right Actions as we teach to this theme in class this month. You can connect the theme at home, read more
