March 5
This Sunday will be our “Give Back Sunday” where we focus on doing for others. This week we will be creating some awesome art for the FPS Auction on April 1! All ages can join in!
 
March 12:
Grade K-5 will continue on with our exploration of the Toolbox of Faith curriculum by experimenting with compasses and discussing how a compass can represent our UU beliefs. It focuses on the idea that we believe in the importance of always guiding our lives with integrity. Our younger children will work on a “following directions” game.
 
March 19: 
Grade K-5 will continue on with the Toolbox of Faith Curriculum by exploring a paintbrush as a tool.  The paintbrush symbolizes the personal expression of our inner life and thoughts. Our younger children will take part in a painting project.
 
March 26:
Grade K-5: Our Toolbox of Faith tool is the hammer. This session will explore the power to seek truth, the power to question authority or the status quo, the power to speak out against injustice, and the power to band together with others who share our values and goals to make a difference for what is good and just. Our younger children will get to use some pretend tools and think about how they could use tools to help others.
