Welcome Message from Amy
I am delighted to be starting a new chapter as your Minister of Religious Education. It is a pleasure to begin working with the staff and RE Council to plan for our Fall program. Please contact me with questions or to introduce yourself: afre...@firstparish.org. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Online Registration

If you have not done so already, please register for RE classes ASAP. The online form can be found on the front page of our website: http://www.firstparish.org As you know, our program is cooperative and your participation is valuable. There are many ways to help support our community of all ages. Please be in touch with Amy if you’d like to explore new volunteer opportunities or if you have ideas to share: afre...@firstparish.org

Homecoming Sunday, September 13
Welcome Home! Our 10:00am service will focus on UU rituals that you can take home. The service is designed for all ages to participate including our Children’s Choirs. Children and families are invited to bring a small sample of water for the Water Communion ritual. Childcare for little ones will be also available. All are welcome to the Homecoming Picnic at 5:30pm. Please pack a picnic dinner and bring a dessert to share. As well as good food, conversation, and music, we will have an intergenerational art project and game to play together.

RE Classes Start Sunday, September 20
Our RE program is designed to spark curiosity, build community, foster kindness, and nurture confidence. Children and youth of all ages will be affirmed as individuals and given both ethical and spiritual tools to navigate life. Amy will be guiding and supporting our teachers to include movement, creativity, games, and service projects to supplement our curricula.

Fall 2015 Religious Education Calendar
A calendar listing special events in September-December, 2015 was mailed to all families this week and is attached to this message. Please note that all RE classes will be held until 11:15am to allow for an hour-long session. Parents of infants to 3rd graders are asked to pick-up their children in the classrooms at 11:15am. Older kids will be dismissed to Coffee Hour. This year a light snack will be provided in all classrooms. If you have any questions, please contact Amy: afre...@firstparish.org
