Book sorting!

Did you know that the stories and books that surround our children and youth not only provide time for family connection and enhance a sense of imagination and adventure, but they can also help kids understand our UU Principles and values? 

From The Lorax to The Rainbow Fish to the It's Okay to be Different Book,authors have helped us to teach our children lessons about caring for our earth, sharing our gifts, honoring diversity and beyond. 

Which books do you think should be on the shelf of every UU kid? Which books should be on our shelves here at UU Flint?

On Saturday, May 28th from 10:30am-1:30pm, join us as we explore our church's current collection of children's books and begin to develop a wish list for a book drive in the fall!

Bring a list of your favorite books, a bag lunch and let's build our dream UU Library! 


*Make it a family activity; children and youth are encouraged to accompany their family so that they may offer their expertise as well! Childcare is available by request only for our youngest children. Please RSVP no later than May 26th to director-lifespanlearning@uuflint.org

Stone Soup Garden Work Party!

Following the service this Sunday (June 14th) we will be planting the rest of the vegetable plants in our Stone Soup garden. While the adults will be hard at work in the budget meeting, the children and youth will be getting their hands dirty!

I am excited to announce that the Flint Journal has asked if they may come and take pictures of our garden and our enthusiastic gardeners during this work party as well!

If you or your child are interested in participating, please contact Amy Derrick and plan to bring a trowel so that we can ensure that there are enough tools to go around.

Thanks and see you on Sunday!
