Could you, Would you?!
We have an immediate need for two more RE Leaders to help with classes through June. One of the leaders is needed to help with our Journeys in Faith class for kindergarteners and first graders. This class meets after the service on most Sundays. The other leader is needed to help with our Faith Activities for school-age children, which meets during the Sunday services. Please contact Julie Schuck or Sarah Edelson Baskin.
SoupRE Sundays are Underway
SoupRE Sundays continue on February 28, and March 7 and 21. Lunch is from 12-1 p.m. and classes follow from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. In addition to our adult education classes, Building Your Own Theology, and Cooking with All Things Considered, we also have children’s activities. If you are interested in joining us for a community lunch, please contact Sarah Edelson Baskin immediately.
Happy Birthday!
