1:30 pm: Parents as Sexuality Educators - Training Session

1:30 pm: Parents as Sexuality Educators - Training Session


September 26, 2021

Parents are often unprepared for their role as primary sexuality educators, and we've got ways to help! We know not only that children and youth make better decisions when they can communicate with a parent about their sexuality, but also that the sooner the lines of communication about sexuality are open, the easier and smoother they can be when the topics are trickier.

Trained OWL facilitator Sara Brown, along with other trained volunteers from our First UU OWL teams, will be hosting an 8-week 1-hr Sunday afternoon workshop for parents that covers much of the following: hopes and concerns for children & youth's sexual health, communication,  gender identity, exploring emotions around gender, supporting discovery of sexual orientation, guiding relationships with wisdom, being a trusted source for sexual health, decision making,  consent, building healthy boundaries, social media, and pornography. At least 8 of these topics will be covered, as the choices of how to spend time will be guided by the parents in the group.

All day
October 21, 2021

The Christmas for Child Advocates Gift Drive collects gift items for infants, children, and youth who are entangled in the cycle of child abuse and neglect, and find themselves wards of a court appointed advocate system through no fault of their own. A gift list has been made available at the Community Projects Team table on each Sunday beginning November 12 and ending December 5th for guidance in the selection of toys, clothing, gift cards, headphones, skateboards, helmets, colognes, and perfumes for various ages of children and youth, from babies to teenagers.

A box will be prominently displayed on a table where the gifts can be deposited for delivery to Santa's workshop by Sunday, December 5th. No group gift wrapping will take place this year. If you are unable to shop for specific items, the drive is also more than pleased to accept gift cards from any brick-and-mortar retailers in place of physical goods.

A few years ago, the church studied the book Active Hope, which tells us "We have to choose our attitude about the climate crisis, hope our despair. We don't know if humanity will respond wisely, but we don't know that we won't either. So we have to choose our attitude."

The Climate Action Team worked the follow-up program "Active Hope Training" this summer and liked it so much, they are starting a new session on October 30. They will meet every other Saturday, skipping Christmas. The link to register is on the church website under Climate Action Team as well as here.

1:30 pm: Parents as Sexuality Educators - Training Session

1:30 pm: Parents as Sexuality Educators - Training Session


October 31, 2021

Parents are often unprepared for their role as primary sexuality educators, and we've got ways to help! We know not only that children and youth make better decisions when they can communicate with a parent about their sexuality, but also that the sooner the lines of communication about sexuality are open, the easier and smoother they can be when the topics are trickier.

Trained OWL facilitator Sara Brown, along with other trained volunteers from our First UU OWL teams, will be hosting an 8-week 1-hr Sunday afternoon workshop for parents that covers much of the following: hopes and concerns for children & youth's sexual health, communication,  gender identity, exploring emotions around gender, supporting discovery of sexual orientation, guiding relationships with wisdom, being a trusted source for sexual health, decision making,  consent, building healthy boundaries, social media, and pornography. At least 8 of these topics will be covered, as the choices of how to spend time will be guided by the parents in the group.
