Welcome, new families! Please complete a registration for each child if you have not already done so. This allows us to keep your child safe here at Meeting and send monthly updates about what’s happening in our Religious Education program. Forms can be found on the table under the main bulletin board or you may connect with Elizabeth Price (402-990-0010 thelotusgarden@gmail.com).
Playground Policy: Now that the weather is warming, we want to remind families of our playground policy and rise of Meeting procedures. At the rise of Meeting, all children (ages PreK-17) are returned by teachers to parents in the meeting room. The parents may then dismiss their own children at their discretion to play on the playground with the understanding that there will be no supervision provided by RE volunteers.
Workshop Postponed: Due to circumstances beyond the control of the RE committee and the speaker, the workshop “Growing in Anti-Racism with Children in Meeting, Family & Our Lives” on April 26 has been postponed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused those wishing to attend. Our intention is to spend the coming months improving the offering and making it accessible to everyone later this year.
Faith & Play Doorperson Workshop: “Are you ready?”
April 30th, 7:00 pm on Zoom
The doorperson is not an “assistant teacher,” but rather holds care “for the whole room” in a role more like an elder. This workshop will prepare Friends to support their children’s program in the doorperson role, from greeting to response time.

Spring Retreat
RE is planning programming for Saturday and Sunday mornings at The Clearing during Spring retreat, May 23-25. We encourage families to attend! You may attend Saturday only, Saturday/Sunday without an overnight stay, or camp overnight and attend both days!
Summer Committee-Led Lessons begin June 15th and continue until August 31st. For those unfamiliar with our summer routine, each Sunday, a committee presents children with an experience related to the work of that committee. It’s a fantastic way for children to learn about the role of committees in our Meeting life.
