Needs</span></b><span> </span><span></span></span></font></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif">The Chalice Lighter Project is working on
"upping" our youth activities by periodically including youth in the
entire service once per month. The plan is to use the work of Jeni Papp
the RE educator from the UU Wooster congregation so we aren't just inventing a
new program (new to us). <span></span></span></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif"><b>What will this look like?</b> <span></span></span></font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif">We hope to create a "play" space to the far
left of the pulpit where the antique organ currently rests. The space
will include a rug (an outdoor-type one will work best so we can wash it
periodically), foam toys, doodle pads and pencils etc. Youth, and adults
if they want, can go to the space at any time during the service and either
play there or take items back to be with their family. The goal is that
our youth have an opportunity to have fun but also quietly learn as we learn.<span></span></span></font></p>
