9 a.m. Preschool/Nursery- “Puppets learn about Child Dedications” With Missy Perrine, teacher, and Juliette Mettes. We offer Child Dedications for Babies and Children in our congregation.
9 a.m. Kindergarten – 6th Grade “Cain and Abel; Finding the Fruits of Peace” – by Rabbi Sandy Sasso. The first children, the first brothers, they were so much alike yet so different–Cain a shepherd, Abel a farmer. They lived side by side, surrounded by trees where wonderful, exotic fruits of many kinds grew: everywhere orapples, rasdew, and banangerines ripened all on a single branch. But jealousy, anger, and fear took all of this away. Cain and Abel’s happiness came to an end, and with it, the trees’ ability to grow these special fruits. In a world often hurt by violence, this retold biblical story gives children and adults a starting point for discussing anger and its effects on those around us. By harnessing the power we have to deal with our emotions in positive ways, we can once again cultivate the fruits of peace–and change the world for the better.

Contact Katie Covey to add a sitter to the list, to make a comment about a sitter, or to remove yourself from the list.
