Living our values through The Practice of Inclusion!
This month, our theme “The Practice of Inclusion” provides an opportunity for the children in our congregation to explore and understand the importance of inclusivity in shaping a compassionate community. During our time together we hope to teach our children that embracing diversity and ensuring everyone feels included are essential expressions of the values we cherish as a community—such as love, acceptance, and respect. These practices not only enrich our interactions but also help us build a more understanding and inclusive world for all.
February 16th we invite everyone to stay upstairs for a Multigenerational Worship Service. If anyone needs a break or some room to move around our childcare assistants will have a few activities set up downstairs in the Social Hall.
As always please let us know if you have any questions or ideas or gifts you would like to share with our Faith Exploration program. Faith-Exploration@fpwatertown.org
Happy Imbolc to all that celebrate!
Sincerely,
FPW Faith Exploration Committee:
Chuck D., Kyle E., Justin G., Roger K., Kelly M., Kyle M., Emily S., Sue T.
