On Sunday, January 8 at 9:00 a.m. we invite you to “Enter the Experience” of our second and third graders and participate with them in their Sunday School world. You and the children will be guided through one of the sessions from The Way of the Child curriculum and experience six different reflection stations after a gathering time. The stations include: Gazing, Reading, Journaling, Art, Sand, and World.
In Finding Our Way Home, Killian Noe shares: “It always amazes me to think that even the tiniest acorn holds everything in it needed to develop into the grandest oak tree. However, the acorn will never become all that it was created to become if it lands on some cold, concrete sidewalk where it is crushed under someone’s boot. It must be planted in the kind of soil which will provide the nutrients essential to its becoming.”
The Way of the Child provides good soil, nutrients, paths, and experiences for a child to grow spiritually and it is our desire to share this with the larger ORUCC community. We will begin at 9:00 in Friendship Hall with a gathering time that introduces the theme for the day and then we will travel to different reflection stations in Friendship Hall and the Ruby Bridges Sunday School Room. We offer this time on January 8th not to simply be an observer but to be a full participant in The Way of the Child. We hope you can “enter the experience.”
