YOUTH AND FAMILY NEWS!

Dear Youth and Families,
     Green is the color of the Heart Chakra; love, compassion, empathy, joy.  Green is the color of March; springtime, new beginnings, growth and renewal, shamrocks for St Patrick’s Day, freshness and hope.  Green can denote healing, luck, prosperity and peace.  Green can symbolize progress and balance, vibrant health and nature.  Green can help alleviate anxiety, depression and tension.  
     This month we will focus on the heart chakra and the color green.  We will create shamrocks, spring flowers, rainbows and plant some seeds to watch their growth.  Moving into spring is always a joy.  Let us all bask in the warm light of the sun and relish the green of life surrounding us.
Love and Light,
Suzy and the Y & F Team

ABOUT OUR YOUTH PROGRAM

The Youth Program is open to all pre-school to high school ages and will feature a new curriculum developed by Suzy Thatcher, an educator with 33 years of classroom experience, and Bill Hadrys, RScP, who brings 15 years in Scouting leadership to the revitalized Sunday morning teachings. Suzy’s extensive educational background brings a passion for the arts and in combination with Bill’s love of nature and scouting; they are working together to create a supportive environment for our children so that the attributes of kindness and gratitude can emerge.

The children often get a chance to interact with our kindness ambassadors, Waldo and Emma (the bunnies!).  Kindness in caring for animals is an unconditional commitment and this empathy toward animals extends into other relationships.
