RE -CONNECTIONS

Marnie McKnight-Favell, RE Coordinator

On March 23, 2025, our Sunday morning program for children is a game day! Bring a favorite game to possibly share, or just come along for the fun!

LFDC/RE is collecting cans for an Easter hunt!

Please drop off a few canned foods at the Fellowship for our upcoming Easter Can Hunt. There is a drop box in the lobby marked for the Easter Can Hunt. We are collecting through April 6, so please help us out! Thank you!

RE *still* needs classroom assistants! Sign up today!

As you are probably aware, in accordance with Safe Congregation Policy, RE requires two adults in the classroom space/nursery space on Sundays when RE is in session. We have upcoming class dates where we are still in need of a classroom assistant. To be an assistant, please sign up in the SignUp Genius! We are in need of assistants on April 6 & 27, May 4 & 11, and June 1 & 8. Please help us out. RE thrives with everybody's support and enthusiasm. Your support makes a difference!

Look at the March RE calendar! 

Check out the March RE and family calendar: we have a lovely month planned in RE. The Soul Matters theme is Trust; we will explore this theme in several different ways and through numerous lenses during classes. 

RE Announcement:

After two and a half years, I have decided to move on to another role outside of the Fellowship. My last day at the Fellowship will be April 13. During my time here, I have made meaningful connections with families, and I have enjoyed sharing spaces of curiosity, joy, and inquiry with the Fellowship kids in RE. The contributions, imagination, and questions that the children bring to the RE space is sacred.

We have also made meaningful intergenerational connections through creative and thoughtfully planned multigenerational services. There is a real magic when all ages come together with a shared purpose, open minds, and a sense of fun, wonder, and imagination that children naturally embody. Thank you to everyone who has made my tenure as RE Coordinator a meaningful and rewarding time.

I am grateful beyond words to the amazing RE teachers, and members of the LFDC who have unfailingly supported the children and families of the Fellowship. Your dedication is inspiring, and I couldn't ask for a better team! I am equally grateful to have shared space with the amazing bright lights that are the Fellowship children. The kids will light the way for the future, and I celebrate and promote all the ways that their light is encouraged to shine. I'm excited to see what you discover, create, and change in the world as you grow!

I'm going to miss you all, and I hope that we will stay in touch. You can find me in the community at Dragonfly Holistic (on Instagram and Facebook), or at my website at marniemcknightfavell.com. 

Thank you for the opportunity to work with the congregation, and to have fun in the Religious Exploration program! 

With gratitude,

Marnie
