Fall Equinox Children's Chapel
Children and youth will celebrate Fall Equinox with
a special children's chapel September 21 during Religious
Education time. All participants are encouraged to bring a special
item to help decorate the alter.
Accompanist Needed
The children of UUCC need a piano accompanist to
help them prepare songs for Sunday services. The children's choir
will most likely meet after service but there is some flexibility to
scheduling.
Our Whole Lives
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is the sexuality education
curriculum created by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the
United Church of Christ. The OWL facilitators are working to
coordinate a schedule for classes this fall and next spring. We need
to know what grade levels have the greatest need for classes. Please
contact Shelly Montgomery, Director of Religious Education if you are
interested in having your child participate in OWL this year or if
you have any questions about the program.

in April however, there are monthly activities October through March
to prepare for the trip. There will be an orientation at Foothills UU

about an hour and will provide an overview of the philosophy behind
the trip, what the youth can expect both on the trip and during the
preparation process, legal issues, and next steps for getting
involved. The 9th grade trip is wonderful UU
rite-of-passage tradition.
