Faith Formation News – 1/7/21

Dear SUUS Families,

Happy New Year! I hope you had a Happy & Healthy holiday. We had a very quiet week and spent most of our time outdoors hiking new trails in the area. We imagined we were adventurers and discovered new and exciting places we had never traveled before, that happened to be right around the corner! See if you recognize any of the locations below?

Can you see the heart?

Sometimes we travel our local roads without really looking at them. It’s as if we are on autopilot with a single focus on the destination. This week allowed us the opportunity to really “see” what was along the path, and brought with it a sense of wonder and imagination. For that I am deeply grateful.

Do you know which Nature Center you can find this wigwam?

I look forward to what the new year has to offer and using our imaginations to explore and adventure together!

See you this Sunday for an outdoor Faith Formation gathering at SUUS!

Love,
Amy
