First Day School got off to a great start with two weeks on the theme of “How do we find peace?” and a week of Dungeons & Dragons for the older children hosted by Adam Hurley.  While the older children played D&D, the younger children had supervised Free Play under the care of non-parent adults, allowing parents and regular teachers to spend more time in worship upstairs.  We already have two more D&D sessions scheduled during October. We have several October birthdays to celebrate, along with the Harvest Full Moon.

The “How do we find peace?” theme will continue for several more weeks. We will transition into making worship more meaningful for the children. We want to invite adults from our meeting to briefly share with the children what makes worship meaningful to them.

Nature continues to be one of our connections to peace. Sarah Nabbitt is going to help us build and maintain a compost heap near the garden in the field. We will spend time with our “personal trees” and start a “nature weaving”.

We continue to seek non-parent adults willing to spend one Sunday a month with the children. We have a wide age range, and our topics are not always so interesting for the youngest, so they need some supervision during play. All adults are welcome to attend our brief weekly planning sessions on Wed. evening at 7:30 on Zoom. Get in touch with Anne Anderson if you would like the Zoom link and to confirm the time and day.  Please also get in touch if you would like to be added to the weekly FDS email with a description of what is coming up.
