This Week in Religious Education
What is happening for children, youth, and families at OUUC
Deadline for Mystery Pals sign up is Feb. 12th: Sign up now for this fun program!
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.

February's Theme is Resilience
This month the theme is “Resilience”.
Resilience is interesting, because it is defined as both strength and flexibility, the ability to withstand pressure and the quality of bouncing back to integrity and wholeness after a pressure or deformation.
Resilience is also a major focus of parenting and education these days! For kids, it's all about growth mindset, learning from failure, and being able to ask for help. Read more here.
