RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CALENDAR – March
3/1: “Making Junk Sculptures”: We’ll raid the RE supplies and recycle/reuse them to create interesting stuff. Sometimes simple things are best and can be as satisfying (or even more satisfying) as things that requires expensive equipment.
3/8: “Auction Project”: The group will be making a special item to be auctioned on March 22 to help raise funds for FCU.
3/15: Whole Congregation Worship, “Wisdom”. We’ll explore aspects of wisdom with a short play, meditation, a homily, and music.
3/22: We’ll finish our auction project for sale today.
3/29: We’ll make kites out of recycled materials and attempt to fly them.
