Children’s Newsletter: November

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Hi friends, What a sweet October we had at UUMC! Fall Festival was a blast (even inside) and I so wish I could’ve chatted more with each of you. November is here and with it, all the Holiday excitement. We’ve got lots of ways to connect coming up, check them out below! While life is so busy and happening all around us, I am also reflecting on the harder things going on in the news. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and resting in the peace of having this community to live out our faith, finding comfort in each other, and doing all the good we can. I’m in your corner!
