RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
🌷Call for RE Volunteers Be part of the fun, wisdom, and connection of our RE program! We are looking for volunteers to teach or support our Elementary and Youth RE programs next year. Previous teaching experience is not required.
Lesson plans and materials are provided. Just show up, facilitate, and be a supportive presence. 🙏
Flexible schedules and different levels of involvement are welcome. Email Emily, emily@charlestonuu.org if you're interested or have any questions.
Blessing box donations can be placed directly in the box, if there is room, or in the storage cabinet in the back storage area of Gage Hall (where the folding chairs are stored.) Throughout the week, staff will refill the box outside as space allows.
With the new website, we will be posting weekly blogs from staff and members online. This June we have featured Classical Pride and Rental opportunities at the church. These blogs will keep our church community up to date and make our programs more visible to visitors and prospective members who are searching online.
To share a significant life event (births, deaths, celebrations, transitions and other joys and sorrows) send to Marcia Castano at BookOfLife@CharlestonUU.org by Saturday evenings at 6:00 p.m. or write them in person on Sunday morning.
The physical book is kept at the front of the church near the pulpit.
