The Adult Spiritual Education Committee invites you to attend Fall Retreat from 9:00 - 4:00, Saturday, September 27 at The Clearing. The theme of this year’s retreat is "Spirit-Led Action". Join us for an experiential workshop led by members of the ASE Committee, with opportunities to reflect on and share spirit-led action in small groups. We hope you will join us for an inspiring day led by members of the ASE Committee. Bagels and coffee, and lunch will be provided by the Ministry and Worship Committee.
RFM will hold our traditional Meeting for Worship and march around the neighborhood to commemorate the International Day of Peace Meeting for Worship on September 20 (not on September 21) at 6:30 pm. This is a sweet time together as we join to mark our Peace testimony on the day the United Nations has set aside to focus on peace and its creation. We hope that members will join in Richmond Peace Education Center’s (RPEC) activities and celebration of the International Day of Peace on September 21 from 11 am to 5 pm.
Committee-Led Summer Sundays
Teachers and assistants needed:
The Religious Education Committee is looking for a few more teachers and assistants. Classes begin September 14. It’s not too late!
We are looking for the following volunteers:
We aim for 2 teachers and 2 assistants per classroom so that teams work together and share the load. This usually means each person is only volunteering/teaching one Sunday per month. (The exception is when there is a fifth Sunday in a month.) Curricula and other resources are available for you to use for ideas or to teach directly. All Religious Education volunteers are required to complete a background check. Contact Elizabeth Price if you are interested in learning more or have questions.
Registration Forms
Registration forms will be available in September and must be completed every year for each child attending RE.
