RE at UUI on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015 - Stone Soup Service & Natalie's Farewell

/

Hello, Wonderful UUI Families!

This Sunday we'll be holding my favorite Multi-generational Service of the year - the Stone Soup service!

This is an annual tradition at UUI and is truly designed for people of all ages to enjoy. This year it will include an interactive service with various community-building and meditation stations, a story about the importance of everyone pitching in what they can to create a community, and a pitch-in meal after the service with the proceeds benefiting the Boulevard Place Food Pantry.

We'll also be saying a fond farewell to UUI's long-time Director of Religious Education - Natalie Spriggs-Trobridge as she has bravely decided to become a UU minister.

Here is list of the worship stations that will be included in tomorrow's service:

  1. Photo booth: Take silly pictures with someone you don't know very well!

  2. Scrabble Word Cross

  3. Book Collage Art

  4. Community Sand Mandala

  5. Community Altar: Place something that you create or brought from home on the altar.

  6. People Garland: Create a representation of yourself and add it to our community "people garland".

  7. Create glass chalices for each table.

  8. Give a charm, take a charm: create a charm and leave it, take a charm already made

Following the service everyone is invited to enjoy soup, salad, and dessert. You can participate in the lunch by bringing a dessert if your last name begins with A-L, or by bringing a salad or fruit if you name begins with M-Z. And, cleanup is easier with many helpers, so if you can assist afterward, please contact Betsy Voigt at awesomevoigt@gmail.com awesomevoight@gmail.com

You definitely won't want to miss this week's service!

With kindness, Stacy Robinson UUI Religious Education Assistant
