FDS continues its general theme this year of “How to find peace”.  We are learning some practices that people use to find peace: Amie shared her practice of yoga, Molly helped the children make God’s Eyes, we learned to finger-knit.  We put two beanbag chairs in the meeting room between the benches, and the children chose books, stuffed animals, and activities that they felt would be good for being in meeting for worship.  We may add two additional “child-friendly” seating options.  This is an experiment, and we are looking for feedback on how this is working for your family! Dungeons and Dragons continues for our older children, led by Adam.  The younger children have Free Play on those weeks, supplemented by simple FDS programs suited for younger children.

For holidays, we celebrated Chinese New Year with traditional activities..

FDS could use a few more adults willing to spend one Sunday every month or two helping out with the children.  We have some very young ones who need to be watched, held, or assisted with coloring, pasting, etc.  We have regular volunteers for the first and second Sundays of each month but could use people willing to commit to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays.

Contact Anne Anderson, FDS Coordinator, for more information or to be put on the mailing list for weekly updates on upcoming programs for FDS.
