“Building Hope Through Action”

Kim Grover, Ellie Syverud, and Rev. Tim Temerson

Join the UUCville Ministry for Earth (MFE) as we celebrate Earth Day.  Today’s service will explore the power of taking action for building hope in the midst of a worsening climate crisis. The service will include music shared by the “Green Grannies,” reflections from our MFE co-chairs, and the creation of a “Tree of Hope and Commitment .” The service will be followed by EARTHAPALOOZA, featuring a Sustainable Eating Potluck, a native plant seed giveaway, and a wealth of information about sustainability and activism.

SUNDAY SECOND HOUR —
a time for connection and friendship!

Sundays from 12:30-1:30PM we provide supervised childcare for children 7th grade and younger. Most Sundays, weather permitting, care is offered on the playground. Light snacks, such as popcorn or rice cakes with optional peanut butter, are provided. Parents are invited to pick their children up from their religious education class and then sign them into care on the playground.

Sunday Second Hour allows our children the chance to spend time together socializing with free play. It offers parents the opportunity to meet and talk with others and attend church meetings knowing that their children are in good hands.

For more information, speak with Rev. Susan, Sabbatical Minister for Faith Development or Caroline Heins, RE Assistant.
