Words of hope from our Pastoral Associates #inspiration #motivation

Last year, #UUtheVote reached over 3 million voters to get out the vote and combat voter suppression. Together we contributed to the largest voter turnout in U....S. history. Now we need to continue to build on that work. Call or write your senators and ask them to support S.1 For The People Act and don't let the filibuster rules prevent it from passing.

We can’t imagine going through summer without seeing all of your wonderful faces and hearing all about what you’ve been up to this past year. While we are anticipating next year’s camp will be in person again (YAY!), we at camp want you to know that our connection to one another and to our beloved camp is a priority! We are offering this camp free of charge and it’s open to all young people who have completed 6th through 8th grade at the time of camp. We’re still working on finalizing the schedule but you can look forward to joining Junior High Camp Deans, Kathy Moscato and Patrick Daley, to make camp connections with new and old friends and have some fUUn! While this is not a full week of camp, we will pack in our fUUn in a few sessions during the week. Here are some of the fUUn activities and events we’re working on: Icebreakers and Games Camp Songs and Campfire Scavenger Hunts Stretching and Movement Activities Crafts, Poetry and Worship Social Justice and Small Group Discussions Variety Show/Open Mic Acknowledging our Bridging 8th graders to Senior High Camp Please contact our Camping Ministries Director, Marianne Swift-Gifford, if you have any questions or need additional information.
