Dear SUUS Families,
Please join us this Sunday, April 2 at 10:30am for Worship & Faith Formation (OWL Class is at 10am at All Souls). This month we begin a new Exploration; “The Path of Resistance.” Come and Explore with us! All Are welcome join! This week’s Exploration will be in the form of an Easter Egg Hunt, but not just any Easter Egg Hunt! This hunt is Social Justice based and children will have the opportunity to donate coins found in their eggs to three local non-profit organizations: A Place Called Hope, IRIS and Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries. Following the Easter Egg Hunt we will make nature eggs with items collected from the outdoors. Childcare will be available on Sunday at 10:15am in the Fellowship Hall.
Last Sunday the children voted unanimously on the next Faith Formation Social Justice Project, which will be in support of A Place Called Hope; a birds of prey rehabilitation center based in Killingworth, CT. Stay tuned for more details!
