Our children’s program moves from “how to find peace” to “sanctuary” – how to create peace for ourselves and for others.  We started by learning how people protect amphibians crossing the road during their annual migration to vernal pools.  Then we will prepare for our annual Easter Egg hunt.  After Easter, we resume the theme of creating “sanctuary” and will build gingerbread house sanctuaries.

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 First Day School programs suited for younger children.

We 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.
