This Sunday, kids in RE will join together to bake for a cause. Muffins will be donated to the Poughkeepsie Community Fridge Project.
During the month of November, Soul Matters invites us to explore the theme of Repair.
One aspect of repair is how we support one another in our community. The Poughkeepsie Community Fridge Project was established locally by students a couple of years ago, and it is a mutual aid project.
Mutual aid is a community based model of support where people work to meet one another's needs. It eliminates gatekeeping that can sometimes be inequitable in established systems.
The RE program has partnered with the Poughkeepsie Community Fridge Project on several occasions. This week, kids will bake and contribute the baked goods to the Community Fridge.
Looking ahead, on Sunday 11/24, the Fellowship is hosting a THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST SERVICE!! We hope that you and your family will join us for this mulitgenerational experience.
For planning and preparation, we'd like your RSVP prior to 11/21, please. You are still welcome to attend even without an RSVP, but we are trying to ensure we plan ahead for food. Thank you!
December 1 is going to be our BRING A FRIEND SUNDAY, followed by the annual HOLIDAY CRAFT FESTIVAL! Kids in RE will bake cookies to be decorated. Kids are most welcome to bring a friend with them to the Fellowship that day, and we look forward to everyone joining in on the merriment and creativity together in community!
If you have questions or fantastic ideas to share, drop me a line! mcfavell@uupok.org
