Fledgling Tales
UFPC Storytime--Every first and third Thursday at 7 PM—cozy up in your jammies, with your favorite stuffed animal, blanket and caring adult and join DRE Joan McDonald for a time of ritual and sharing for preschool and elementary school age children. We will share a chalice lighting, Joan will read a story, everyone will check in and a family or guest will share a favorite story. What is better than a couple of stories shared in community?
The next UFPC story time is Thursday, May 20 at 7PM.
Please let me know if your family would like to share a story--otherwise I will have a second story ready.
For everyone’s safety a Zoom link will be emailed to our UFPC families weekly and new families may sign up to receive the link. Please contact Joan at DRE@ufpc.or
