The Unitarian Universalist Family Initiative (UUFI) is the UUCM team that works to nurture faith in the family. UUFI offers Parent Circle most every Wed., 8:15-9:15pm, usually over Zoom (check your Friday Update for the link). They also organize Tradition Trainings: opportunities for families to gather and learn together about creating traditions, such as mealtime or bedtime traditions. If you have interest in being a part of the planning team, please contact Jennifer or Shelly Buss. We’re looking for new members to join these fun folx, planning events periodically. No experience in traditions is necessary 🙂
