We had our first Social Action Sunday
this year with grades 1-5. The children began in children's chapel
where we connected Unitarian Universalism's Seven Principles to animal rescue work. The children met some of the volunteers of local Companion Animal Placement
Program. They had an opportunity to make toys and cushions for
the rescued animals. One of the highlights was four rescued puppies the
group brought. Wisely, the puppies already had homes where they would
soon be placed!
The children were excited by the toy- making project. With our new dedicated art space we decided to keep supplies
available for children to make more toys during RE that we can
collect and then donate.
Our next Social Action Sunday will be
our Service2Service multigenerational worship on November 10. REC will again collect toiletries to make Welcome Bags
for Sojourn House and Bethesda House.
