Blessings & Gratitude
What a blessing it is to have so many children and youth who feel an integral connection with People’s Church and love coming to church here!
It is because of the dedication of a cadre of fabulous folks who contribute their time, energy and Love to our religious education program that we are thriving and growing, learning and loving.
There are not adequate words to express the value these folks bring to our children and youth by showing up to regularly guide, lead and accompany our kids in religious exploration and growth.
Our World Religions Program has been fantastic this year for Kindergarten through high school! The children and youth have been introduced to a wide variety of religions. Hopefully we are planting the seeds of understanding and compassion for those who hold different beliefs.
Our middle and high school youth enjoyed a visit to the Indo American Cultural Center and Hindu Temple last month. On May 11th we will engage in Pagan Beltane Ritual.
We couldn’t do any of it without our RE teachers!
Blessed Be, Diane Melvin Religious Education Director
