Throughout the year Religious Education sponsors intergenerational events that offer the opportunity for community building across the age-spectrum of our beloved community. Everyone benefits when the ages have fun together and children raised UU are much more likely to remain UU when they have these experiences. We have also found that everyone has much more fun at intergenerational parties and events. Some of the events already scheduled for this year are:

• The creation of El Dia de los Muertos altar

• The Holiday Giving project in  November and December

• Easter hunt and service project in April.

• Picnic in June honoring parents.

Other events will be planned throughout the year with the whole congregation in mind. Last year we sponsored an all-church visit to the zoo and another to the planetarium.

There are other events planned each year specifically for elementary-aged children. These include holiday crafts workshop, family dance, visits to children's theater events and family picnics. Watch for more information and any schedule changes for these events in the Outer Circle and the weekly REport. Many require registration and payment in advance. Your cooperation with the timeline is important to the success of the event.

The middle school and upper school youth groups plan their own events with the assistance of their youth advisors.
