Today’s Classes:
Nursery (0-2) Adult volunteer with Kelly Anne
Chalice Children (3-5): Teacher: Wendy, Assistant: Chelsea. The kids will talk about church as a place where we have fun together during a Halloween party, including costumes and popcorn. They will also discuss how we can face things that we are afraid of.
Magical UU (grades 1-6) & World Religions (grades 7-9): Our grade-school children are all on a field trip to the Davis Farmland Cornfield Maze. This is the first of three challenges of our Magic Tournament. They left at 9:00 and will return by 12:45, when they will eat a pizza lunch.

Visitors & those who did not go on the field trip: You are invited to stay in the Sanctuary for the service or to join the younger kids in their Halloween activities.

CHILD PICK-UP: Parents, please remember to pick up your child (through 6th grade) from his or her classroom at 11:45. Alice will ring a bell to remind you to do so at the appropriate time.
