Fair for Children, Teens, and Families September 7th

Kids and families, please join us on the lawn on September 7th after the service. We will have a bounce house, games, and other activities for the kids. There will also be information for adults about this year’s programs for kids, teens, and families. If it rains, we’ll set up some activities in the Fellowship Hall. Spread the word! In the foyer you can find flyers to post in the community!

How to Reach Rev. Sierra-Marie

The Rev. Sierra-Marie Gerfao organizes our children, youth, and family ministries. She is available for office hours almost every Sunday after the coffee hour and absolutely loves it when you drop by! Come see her any time after the coffee hour. No need for a big reason! Or make an appointment for a Sunday afternoon conversation. 

Other ways to reach Rev. Sierra-Marie:

• Email: Rev. Sierra-Marie is happy to have even long or complicated conversations by email. Reach out to her by email anytime! dfm@uudanbury.org.
• Phone: You can leave Rev. Sierra-Marie a message in her voicemail at church, 203-798-1994. If you are involved in programs, you also have her cell phone number. Phone calls or texts are welcome, but as she works part-time, this does not necessarily mean she will be able to respond right away. 
• Social Media: Rev. Sierra-Marie does not “friend” or “follow” congregants on social media, but will accept your friend or follow requests on the platforms she engages. However, she does not use social media for work. Please don’t message her on social media about congregational matters.

Volunteers Needed

We still need volunteers for our planned programs for children and youth this year. The only way to guarantee that this is a congregation that offers programs for children and youth is to join a team to make it happen. There are both large and small opportunities to volunteer. Reach out to Sierra-Marie (email dfm@uudanbury.org) and she can help you determine whether one of those volunteer opportunities is the right one for you.
