We will have two central focal points this spring. The first is our exploration of Islam, continuing our study of various religious and spiritual traditions.We are hoping to culminate this exploration with a guest visit from a Muslim. Our second focal point is our Spring project: we are planning to present an intergenerational service at the end of April that will focus on environmental issues, supported by our connection with Green Sanctuary.We also plan to continue the tradition of having adult members of the church periodically visit RE to talk to the children about being a Unitarian and sharing experiences and ideas. Anyone interested in visiting with the children or helping with the Spring project, please contact Angie, Mary, or Sean.
