SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Resilience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary’s Creativity Matters theme is “embodying resilience.” Through reflection and creative expression\, we’ll explore how slowing down and noticing the beauty in our creativity can help us recognize that making art itself can be an act of resilience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Options\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options A\, B\, and D from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*: \n\n\n\n\nImages of Your Resilience Collage\n\n\n\nThe Resilience of Rubbish Junk Art\n\n\n\nBeauty in Loss Paper Weaving\n\n\n\n\nDon’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a drop-in small group for teens and adults to slow down\, connect\, and explore monthly spiritual themes together through art and imagination. \n\n\n\nIt’s less about skill and more about play\, allowing intuition\, reflection\, and creativity to guide us. Think of it as a gentle space where your right brain gets to dance with your left. \n\n\n\nEach gathering offers time for sharing\, creating\, and simply being together. No experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a playful spirit.

SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Practicing Resistance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter exploring “choosing hope” in December\, January invites us to focus on resistance and how creativity can help us stand firm\, speak out\, and act in the face of challenges. Through art and creative practice\, we’ll examine the ways expression can bolster courage\, clarify values\, and sustain us when the world asks us to compromise or stay silent. Together\, we’ll discover how making can be an act of resilience\, empowerment\, and quiet defiance\, helping us shape the world we want to see. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Options\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options from the January 2026 Creativity Matters packet*: D & E\, and from the April 2023 Creativity Matters packet: D: \n\n\n\n\nRubberband Art \n\n\n\nYour Word for The New Year\n\n\n\nWax Resistance Art\n\n\n\n\nDon’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a drop-in small group for teens and adults to slow down\, connect\, and explore monthly spiritual themes together through art and imagination. \n\n\n\nIt’s less about skill and more about play\, allowing intuition\, reflection\, and creativity to guide us. Think of it as a gentle space where your right brain gets to dance with your left. \n\n\n\nEach gathering offers time for sharing\, creating\, and simply being together. No experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a playful spirit.

SUMMARY:Saturday Art Hangout
DESCRIPTION:Light in the Dark: A Winter Art Gathering\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs winter approaches\, we turn our attention to the cycles of light and darkness: to what shines\, what rests\, and the quiet transformations that happen in the stillness of the season. \n\n\n\nChoose a project that calls to you: \n\n\n\n\nGarland with Dried Oranges – craft fragrant\, sun-kissed strands that celebrate the returning light.\n\n\n\nPaper Stars – fold and decorate celestial shapes to honor the sparkle of long winter nights.\n\n\n\nWinter Collage – build layered scenes of trees\, wildlife\, and snow\, capturing the serene beauty of winter.\n\n\n\nSalt Watercolor: Light & Darkness – crystalline patterns\, like frost or stars emerging in the dark\, as salt meets watercolor\, reflecting the season’s quiet transformation and the return of light.\n\n\n\n\nEach project invites you to reflect on the returning light\, the stillness and beauty of winter\, and the quiet renewal that comes with the season. Like the season itself\, our creations may be layered\, luminous\, and full of wonder—an offering to the world around and within us as it slowly turns toward light. \n\n\n\nOur Saturday Art Gatherings welcome artists\, crafters\, and creative beginners alike\, and are open to adults and teens. We provide examples\, gentle guidance\, and a variety of supplies to spark your process. Participants are also welcome to bring materials from home to use or share at our community resource table! \n\n\n\nSuggested Items to Bring: \n\n\n\n\nDried citrus slices or cinnamon sticks\n\n\n\nEvergreen sprigs\, pinecones\, or small branches\n\n\n\nSmall bells or charms\n\n\n\nNatural fibers\, twine\, or bits of fabric\n\n\n\nFound winter objects (stones\, seed pods\, feathers)\n\n\n\nOld Christmas cards\, wrapping paper\, sheet music\, or decorative paper for collage

SUMMARY:Youth Religious Education
DESCRIPTION:Youth Group – Value Quest: Exploring What Matters Most\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year\, our youth will explore the values they chose as the most important to them – Adventure\, Honesty\, Play & Humor\, Fun\, Conscience & Integrity\, Generosity\, Forgiveness\, Kindness & Respect\, Creativity\, Learning & Growing\, Family & Connections\, Peace\, Friendship\, and Fairness & Equity.Together\, they’ll dive into big questions: How can I make time for play and humor in my life? How can I live in a way that reflects my deepest values? What does it mean to live generously? How do you begin again in love? And through conversation\, service\, games\, and shared experiences\, they’ll discover how to carry these values with them as they move into adulthood. \n\n\n\nReach out to our Director of Religious Education to find out the theme for any particular week and learn how your youth can jump in and be part of the fun.

SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Nurturing Gratitude\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNovember’s Creativity Matters theme is “Nurturing Gratitude.” We’ll explore how creativity can both express and deepen our sense of gratitude through art that celebrates the everyday and handmade offerings that carry appreciation beyond words. Together\, we’ll reflect on how creative practice helps us notice abundance\, transform small moments into gifts\, and let gratitude move through our hands and hearts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Options\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options B\, D\, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*: \n\n\n\n\nA Sketched Gratitude List: Begin creating a visual gratitude list. Use images\, drawings\, or collage instead of words. Then\, take it home and keep adding to it each day for a week or two\, letting your sense of gratitude grow through what you create.\n\n\n\nFinding Your Favorite Color: Instead of heading outdoors\, take a “color walk” through our magazines and art materials. Choose your favorite color and look for it in images\, textures\, and patterns as a way to honor and tap into your gratitude for that color. Then use what you find to create something new\, like a collage or color wheel.\n\n\n\nArtistic Thank You Cards: Create a set of five handmade thank-you cards that express your gratitude through art as well as words. You might send them to friends and family\, or think beyond your circle and thank someone who rarely hears it\, like a neighbor\, librarian\, or mail carrier.\n\n\n\n\nDon’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a drop-in small group for teens and adults to slow down\, connect\, and explore monthly spiritual themes together through art and imagination. \n\n\n\nIt’s less about skill and more about play\, allowing intuition\, reflection\, and creativity to guide us. Think of it as a gentle space where your right brain gets to dance with your left. \n\n\n\nEach gathering offers time for sharing\, creating\, and simply being together. No experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a playful spirit.

SUMMARY:OWL 7-9
DESCRIPTION:Our Whole Lives Grades 7-9\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrounded in the core values of self-worth\, responsibility\, justice\, and inclusivity\, Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a positive\, comprehensive sexuality education program that helps young people make informed\, responsible decisions about their relationships\, health\, and well-being. The 7th–9th grade curriculum creates a supportive space for youth to explore topics\, like: healthy relationships\, gender identity & sexual orientation\, sexual health\, consent\, and cultural influences on sexuality.  \n\n\n\nOWL encourages youth to actively explore and reflect on their own values\, attitudes\, and beliefs\, and through open dialogue and skill-building\, participants gain tools to make informed\, thoughtful\, and responsible decisions about their relationships\, sexual health\, and behavior. \n\n\n\nThis program is open to youth in grades 7–9 (or homeschool equivalent\, typically ages 12–14 as of September 1\, 2025) who have not previously taken OWL.  \n\n\n\nRegistration for this year’s OWL program is now closed. We will offer OWL 7-9th grade again during the 2026-2027 school year. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact the Director of Religious Education.
