🌿 A Summer of Shared Ministry
This summer, instead of a traditional day camp, we’ll be offering a whole-church summer experience inspired by We Are the Builders — creating opportunities for all ages to come together in community while sharing our innate gifts, talents, creativity, and passions with one another ✨
Keep a look out for more information through E-News, Facebook, and the RE Bridge Board in the Fellowship Hall!

🌱 Facilitators Needed for May
If you feel called to support our RE program by facilitating, we would love to have you!
Share your availability and preferred age group, and we’ll help you get connected. If you don’t yet have a background check on file, we can take care of that easily.
✨ Our community doesn’t just learn from curriculum — we learn from the presence of each other.

🧸 Fidget Station Reminder
We are grateful to offer a fidget station for our youth and community members who benefit from sensory support and hands-on engagement.
Please encourage your children to help clean up the area after use and return any borrowed fidgets so this resource can remain available for everyone 💜

🌿 Quiet Room Reminder
Our Quiet Room is available for anyone needing a calmer, lower-stimulation space during services or RE time.
Please help us keep this area peaceful, welcoming, and accessible for all who may need it ✨

The Religious Education Collaboration (REC) warmly invites all attendees and parents/guardians to participate in the conversation around RE programming and vision.
The decisions we make within RE affect each of you, and we truly want your voice to be part of the process.
🗓️
REC meetings are held via Zoom on the first Sunday of each month at 5pm.
We also stay connected through a group text for ongoing communication and collaboration.
