~OWL Program for Middle Schoolers – The Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship is offering the Our Whole Lives (OWL) program for middle schoolers and their parents on Sunday mornings and has invited our youth to participate this coming year.  (It was a joint offering a few years ago when Tim and Nora facilitated the program.)  It is a sexuality education program for youth that models and teaches caring, compassion, respect, and justice.  They have two female facilitators already, but need a male one.  If you are interested, see David Durfee or talk with Nora or Tim about the offering.

 

~Sunday Suppers – Our three regular dishwashers, Tom, Doug, and me, (each once or twice a month) are, surprisingly, getting older and looking forward to having new hands take over. If you are interested in being a regular – or a when-needed substitute, please talk to me.  – David Durfee replacement
