Dear UUCV Community,
It has been an amazing start to the church year, and we are grateful for your continued participation and involvement in this community! The RE team has a common vision to see engaged children in teeming classrooms who are growing spiritually and learning to think for themselves in a safe, respectful community! We are so excited for what this year and years to come will bring.
For the first time in my 9 years as a DRE, we have a full slate of teaching teams who are committed and collaborative! Naturally, there are many other ways to get involved with the program, from helping behind the scenes, telling stories, and more, so please get in touch with me if you want in on the fun!
As of September 14, we are excited to announce that we’ve made some changes to two classrooms to better accommodate the needs of our growing children. The nursery is now in the corner room 3 nearer the street, and our 3rd-5th graders are in the larger room across from the bathrooms in Berg Hall. Next time you’re here, please take a moment to visit and see some of these changes. We are so excited! I know change can be uncomfortable for some, so please know nothing is written in stone, and I hope we can give this a try and revisit if needed!
We invite your participation in the book drive for the Harry Potter social action project to battle the horcrux of illiteracy in the world! We are holding a book drive to benefit the Friends of the Library. New and gently used books are accepted in this drive. Children and families are encouraged to go through their books at home and bring in any outgrown or unwanted books to encourage another child to read. Adults are encouraged to comb through their own collections and bring in their unwanted titles. Together, we can provide many, many opportunities to encourage others in the greater Ventura area to read, helping to destroy the Horcrux of illiteracy in our community.
With love and light, Emily Carroll
