RE Review for February 2012
Religious Education for Children and Youth
Valentines Party in RE
Sunday, February 12, during class time.
Children will go to the Fireside Room after the Story for All Ages and make valentines!
Freedom and Justice Rooms (grades K-3) are combining this Trimester. Classes will meet in either room (depends on who is teaching that day).
OWL, “Our Whole Lives” program on sexuality and relationships, will be offered for Kindergarten and First Grade children in the Spring Trimester, beginning April 1. The required Parent Orientation will be Sunday, March 25, in the Fireside Room. This wonderful, age-appropriate class is strongly encouraged for all K-1 children. In order to maintain confidentiality and trust, this class is closed once it begins. Pam and Scott Wessel-Estes will be facilitating the class and both are well trained and experienced in this curriculum. Please contact Pam Gerke for more information. She will also be sending letters home about OWL.

We’re switching our monthly All Ages event to Saturdays through the spring. A healthy and delicious supper of soup, salad and bread is followed by either an intergenerational activity or a discussion for parents, with childcare provided. Please bring your own plates, cups and utensils; food is provided by volunteers.
