The children had a great time planting tomatoes, cucumbers and kale plants in the raised beds on Sunday. They also seeded 3 rows of beans and are planning a second planting in a couple of weeks. The produce from the youth garden will go to the Isabella County Soup kitchen. Come and have a look at what they accomplished!
With bocce ball, bubbles, chalk, hopscotch games from around the world, crafts, dinner, and a movie, our Almost-Summer Overnight was a hit! Our youth also enjoyed sharing their thoughts on flowers with the rest of the congregation during the Flower Communion service in the morning. With all the fun we had over weekend, the children in our congregation definitely seem to be ready for summer break!
Parents and guardians of children of all ages: On June 2 after our multigenerational service on love, children and their guardians are invited to join the RE team for pizza and a walk to Island Park for fun at the Spray Park! (weather permitting). Sunscreen, bug-spray, and swimsuits are highly recommended.
During service this coming Sunday, the RE program is inviting our youth to help plant tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and more in our UU Youth Garden for the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen. It is recommended that children bring trowels and gardening gloves, although getting a little soil on our hands is never a bad thing!
