ORUCC Youth 1/21

Hello friends,

I am looking forward to being back together this Sunday! Our youth will have Sunday school at 9:00, focusing on Echo the Story with Susan and Kristin. TRU Function is practicing from 10-12. 
Unfortunately, the meeting to discuss a faith-based GSA at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church this Sunday has been postponed, due to low RSVP's. I will keep you all posted about a reschedule, or next steps.
 
Looking ahead, next Sunday, 1/28, we will have a labyrinth walk and contemplative stations for all children and youth. 
Some more dates to get on your calendars…
