RE At Home

This week in RE we will explore the UU first principle, which is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. I have also included additional resources at the bottom of the newsletter as well. Next Sunday, we have a live drag queen story hour with a lesson on kindness that we are hosting. Please let me know you are attending ahead of time so I can get you the zoom link. All are welcome, so feel free to invite friends and family. Also, please let me know if your family plans to participate in the at-home family camp weekend in July (Chalice Sparx) so we can make sure your box of supplies gets shipped to you.
