Fall Greetings:

Last weekend both Youth Group and the children at RE Sunday had great conversations about covenanting and how we treat each other, ourselves, and our spaces.

Each time I learned new things about how to craft our time together to be joyful, inclusive, and intentional. I’m still deeply moved and thinking about how the children and youth articulated covenantal language.

Tomorrow Saturday October 4, we will start our First Saturdays Family Night event with Parents’ Night Out. 

First Saturdays will alternate between Parents’ Night Out, one month and All Ages Games Night the next month, both from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

Parents’ Night Out is a no cost, child drop off event. Parents will sign in their children with Leilani, our DRE in the Social Hall. Then parents will have two free hours to go and do what you want while your children have a light dinner and a play centered evening: playing games, helping cook dinner, and arts & craft. For this event, we would like RSVPs dre@wsuu.org so we know how to plan for the meal.

At All Ages Games Night November 1st, everyone but especially families are invited to join us in the Social Hall for Games! Westside has a pretty good game selection but feel free to bring a favorite game if you wish. We’ll be having a potluck so please bring something to share but if you don’t, that’s ok too. We’ll have multiple tables set up for different games and for multigenerational game play.  This is not a drop-off-kids event; we’ll be planning for parents to stay, play games and potluck. This is a perfect event to invite new and other families that you know who might enjoy playing games at Westside with us! 

We hope that families mark their calendars for the first Saturdays of the month from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

With gratitude,

Leilani
