“Children are spiritual by nature.  They haven’t yet lost their sense of awe, mystery, and reverence for the ordinary things in life.  Children need safety and consistency to express that spirituality: they also need a solid foundation in a rapidly changing world that they cannot control.      -Michelle Richards

•  K-2 OWL continues during RE time. Please remember OWL will end at 11:45.

All Spirit Explorers & Spirit Players not in OWL, along with visitors will combine into one class which will be held in the Spirit Play room. **
