Halloween Fun and Ferry Beach

We are already one month into our new church year and it has been so great to see returning families and new families in our congregation.  We have two special events this month:

Ferry Beach weekend is October 23-25.  If you've been, you know what a lovely, spirit-filled relaxing weekend this is, filled with crunchy leaves under foot, majestic waves, roaring fires, and laughter and smiles.  If you haven't gone before, please consider attending this year.  To sign up and for more information, talk to Chuck Shefreen.  In addition to the annual relaxing and recharging at Ferry Beach as you can laze on the porch gazing at the waves....returning this year is the Ferry Beach Annual Scavenger Hunt!  And this year, the scavenger hunt will be run by two of our youth!

On Wednesday evening 10/28 at 6:00 Rev. Wendy and I invite everyone to Pumpkin Carving Fun Night.  We'll carve pumpkins, make roasted pumpkin seeds, and have a spirited good time.  We will also distribute the materials for our trick-or-treat social action activity.  This year, our children and youth who trick-or-treat will have the opportunity to share information about fair trade and sustainable products, like chocolate, with the adults at the homes they normally trick-or-treat at.  Through handing out fair trade chocolate samples with info cards, our children and youth can live UU values and enjoy the Halloween holiday as well.  If you would like more information, or want to particpiate but cannot attend on 10/28, please email me!
