Dear parents/caregivers of children & youth at UCM:  Here's a friendly reminder that you're invited to a
Family Potluck for Fun, Feasting & Brainstorming!
Fri. Jan. 18  ~. 5:45pm-7:30pm
UCM Vestry




"Having kids -- the responsibility of rearing
good, kind, ethical, responsible human beings --
is the biggest job anyone can embark on.
As with any risk, you have to take a leap
of faithand ask lots of wonderful people
for their help and guidance."

~Maria Shriver 
 

 
Here’s a chance for kids, youth and parents to make new, supportive connections within our congregation.  We'll organize food and gather ourselves at 5:45pm.  Chalice lighting and feasting by 6pm.  Break out time around 6:30-7:30pm.  RSVP helpful online here but walk-ins welcome too.  RSVPing by Thursday at noon helps us know if it's helpful to have nursery care available for the littlest ones (infant - 2 year olds).  

In the Children's Chapel, kids and youth will have a chance to share thoughts/feedback while also having some game time and a chance to watch a fun, short film.  While they meet, parents/caregivers and members of the Lifespan Spiritual Exploration committee will have some time to share ideas for ways to support one another as parents, as people trying to be spiritual guides for our children and youth, and as families craving community in this fast-paced world. 

Possible ideas for discussion include a co-op model for a Parent/Caregivers Night Out once a month, a Small Group Ministry model for parents/caregivers, community service for families to do together.  We hope you will join in the fun and the discussion!  


Food: We know you're busy.  If you can make something special, great!  But if you can’t bring an elaborate potluck dish, don’t stress!  Snacky foods, finger foods, drinks welcome too.  If just getting there is what you can do, that’s fine too.  If you can, please bring a label for your dish, listing any common allergens/food restrictions (meat, fish, dairy, nuts, soy, wheat).
