Faith Development for Families

RE Class Times: (subject to change with advance notice)
PreK – 11:30 – 12:00
K-5th – 11:30 – 12:15
6th-8th – 11:30 – 12:15
9th-12th — There will not be a youth gathering this month due to the Covid-19 increase in our community. However, youth are encouraged to join in games on Sunday, December 20.

This Sunday, our Pre-K class will hear a story of Advent. As our elementary classes continue their anti-racism curriculum, K-2nd Graders will look at building relationships across differences. The upper elementary class will consider controversial monuments in cities and the efforts to remove them. Middle schoolers will continue their Popcorn Theology this week by looking at the problem with perfection using clips from the movie Gattaca.

New to Live Oak? If you are interested in visiting a class, and are not registered for RE, please send me an email at dlfd@liveoakuu.org.

Can’t make the scheduled RE time? No worries. As we say, families are the primary religious educators. All lesson plans are available to registered families via Live Oak Padlet. (Registration link in sidebar.) If you attended RE, the site includes optional activities for home related to the session.

Adult Faith Development

New offerings coming in January. See this week’s blog post from me to learn more about it. In the meantime, consider joining one of the following events or groups.

Monday Meditation

Monday meditation is taking a break during the month of December.

Chalice Circles

Chalice Circles have kicked off, but I am looking for a few more people who are interested in joining some others who are registered to create a second afternoon group. Of course if you are interested in an evening group, you can sign up as well. Register HERE. Need more information about Chalice Circles? Find it here.

Acorn Groups

Have you been a member of Live Oak for less than a year? You might want to join an Acorn group. A new group will be starting in January. These short-term groups are a chance for you to get to know us better and for us to get to know you better. For more information or to sign up for an Acorn Group, please contact membership@liveoakuu.org.

Learning Resources

Don’t forget to visit the learning resource page for adults if you have the time to engage in more than what is happening at Live Oak.

Have an idea for a one time or ongoing online gathering that you are willing to lead? If you do, let us know and we’ll help with scheduling and publicity. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and subscribe to the newsletter for opportunities for online engagement.
