Starting next Sunday (8 June 2014), the 9:00 AM Religious Education hour for children and youth will take a break for the summer. We will have one service at 10:30 AM. We will “sing out” the children and youth for their summer activities for most Sunday services.
This summer, the children and youth will have some “Direct Experience with that Transcending Mystery and Wonder” with a combination of some time-honored summer traditions and some new activities and projects.
For next Sunday (8 June 2014):
Tie-Dye for Dads and Other Special Grown-up!
Annually in June (on the Sunday before Father’s Day), our children and youth have the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind wearable art for their Dads and others to wear to church on Father’s Day.
Children and youth are encouraged to wear their grubbies (clothing that can handle stains … and that applies to shoes, too) and to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item to dye (Prewashed is better for holding the dye but we do soak them ahead of time).
We will have bandanas and a few shirts on hand for donation, but bringing your own insures the right size and fit.
Bear in mind that we have a guest minister in the pulpit that Sunday (Rev. Jim VanderWeele — Community Church Unitarian Universalist in New Orleans). Adults who love tie-dye but aren’t helping supervise the children and youth can go to the service and still have time to do a shirt afterward.
