7.31 CYRE blog correction: Join the Green Brigade

recycling-green-kidsRECRUITING GREEN BRIGADE: Meri Gibb and Sheri Price of the Green Committee are recruiting youth, grades 5 and up, to help with their efforts to make BVUUF more Earth and environmentally friendly.  Our children and youth have a wealth of information and we need their help during large events to monitor and educate participants about recycling and composting.

This is a great substitute to childcare for our large events; also, an opportunity for our children contribute to weekday and evening adult programs.

There will be a Green Brigade orientation immediately preceding the all-congregation potluck on August 25th.  Meet in the RE Wing, Pauling room after service.  Green Hats provided!

THIS SUNDAY

Story Tree and Free Play with Jamil!

Children begin the service this Sunday in the sanctuary.

One service at 10 a.m. (K-5 in Pauling- Preschool/Nursery in the Preschool room.)

We will spend a considerable amount of time outdoors so we ask that you provide your children with ample sun protection; sunscreen and/or hats.

Plans for this Sunday

10 a.m. K-5: Jamil will lead the children in the sharing circle, a brief pebble meditation, story tree and free play with gardening; youth are welcome to join the classroom and assist.

10 a.m. Preschool/ Nursery: Alyssa Axe, Juliette Mettes and/or Chelsea Lemur will provide childcare with games, stories and freeplay.
