Do you have children in First Unitarian's Religious Education program? If so, you and your child are invited to a breakfast Sunday, March 14 to a special, creative part of Springfest through the "InFestors" group. At 9:30 Rev. David Carl Olson and Fest Committee member Laurel Mendes will gather with new and returning InFestors and their parents in the Peace Chapel to brainstorm parts of the skits. The InFestors have roles varying from just planning and being behind the scenes, to marching with banners in the Fests processions, to being puppeteers for the birds or inside the dragon, and speaking and acting in the Festival. All levels of participation are available.
This year's Springfest service will be April 11. Our theme this year is “Right Relations, you, me, and the world.” Our seasonal archetypes, Winter and Lord of the Forest, have been rude to each other, and have fallen out of right relationship. How can our children get Mr. Forest and Mr. Winter to treat each other with well? (Ideas?) In a second skit for the children, the colors of the rainbow will find their own niche and their own song. Springfest will focus on how we humans can we work together for harmony, using music and stories.
Springfest is one of three special seasonal festivals at First Unitarian in which we celebrate seasonal change and look at how metaphors for that change ring true in our own lives.
Come at 9:30 Sunday morning, March 14. You also can contact Becky Brooks, Director of Lifespan Religious Education if your children would like to join in the adventure.
