This Week in Religious Education

This Sunday children and families will not be sung out from the sanctuary. Come straight back to the RE wing for 9:15 Spirit Play class and for 11:00 Family Chapel.

Family Chapel is a time for families to engage with child-friendly worship together, and is designed to be experienced together. However, no child will be turned away who attends solo if parents need or want to be in the other worship service or are volunteering elsewhere this week.

This month's chapel will introduce our theme for this month: Prophetic People, Who Shows Us the Way?

Join us to worship together, learn hymns you can sing at home, engage with family conversation or create a Hero Doll to take home and put on your altar or family table, and more!

For youth this Sunday:

• Middle School youth will be meeting to start the Neighboring Faiths program this Sunday, with an exploration and overview of other faiths. Meeting at 11:00 in the youth room.
• High School youth are invited to a casual "no host" sign making station for their upcoming sign waving in support of i1639. Sign making supplies and snacks will be available at 12:30 a classroom (TBA).
• Auditions are being held for the youth-directed holiday play this Sunday, 12:30!
  

If you have not already done so, please take some time this week to complete the registration form for the new program year.

Classes on September 30th finished our month-long theme of Covenant with a Service Sunday. We had asked "how will we be together", and this was our chance to act out our answers.

The kids gave back to the community through service project stations: sorting and recycling the markers, making Get Well cards, and assembling new furniture. They did great!

At home, how do you each give back to the family? What chores could each family member do?What chores are age appropriate?

On Sunday October 14th we will continue exploring the theme of Prophetic People with an exploration of the founders of our own faith tradition.
