I don’t have a reflection to share with you all this week but have been enjoying this poem from the Soul Matters packet. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Remember the Sky by Joy Harjo

Full poem found at: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/remember-0

“Remember your birth, how your mother struggled to give you form and breath. You are evidence of her life, and her mother’s, and hers… Remember the earth whose skin you are… Remember you are all people and all people are you…”

…I am here for you, just an email or a phone call away. I am currently holding office hours in-person at UUFM on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10am-2pm. I will continue to do my best to serve as a resource to our community, through connecting you to one another and of course, directly. Being a light in the lives of others is as important as ever, and I hope you will stay connected.

Please consider joining our private Facebook group: UUFM Children’s Faith Development (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1404655806251029/). This group is intended for families and congregants who are involved in Children’s Faith Development. My approval of new members’ access to the information there is what makes the group a safe space for sharing. I will be sharing our weekly stories as Facebook videos on my personal page publicly and sharing them in the group, as well as short prayers and meditations.

Link to the stories: Our virtual Stories for All Ages are now available on the UUFM YouTube Channel. At least one new story will be available by Sunday, each week.

Youth Group info for today

Danielle and I host Youth Group tonight via Zoom from 6:30-8pm. We will be reflecting on those who came before us and the impact they have had. If you’re joining us, please consider bringing some art materials to make a little drawing at the end. Zoom call info can be found in our private Facebook Group (UUFM Children’s Faith Development) and in your email.

November Dates to look forward to – Please continue to sign-up over Breeze, as I will be requiring a minimum of two kids signed up to hold the sessions. (Though, all are welcome, regardless of whether or not you have RSVP’d.) These sessions continue to take place over Zoom for the time being.
