Religious Education Resources and Events for June & July
Happy summertime, Friends! In the coming weeks, children and teens will be done with school and families will shift into summer routines. I’ll be back in touch in August with ideas for looking forward to the Fall, and if you’re ready to start thinking in that direction this planning guide is still a good place to begin this summer. The resources and events offered below for June and July include Juneteenth, FGC’s “YAY!” gathering, and what’s for families and youth at our Annual Sessions. I hope you will pass them along to families and youth in your meetings and communities! [Read more…] about Religious Education Resources and Events for June & July
Author Event with Pamela Haines
Join us on June 4, 2022 at 11:00 on Zoom, as Pamela Haines reads from her latest book, That Clear and Certain Sound. There will be opportunities for discussion as well as for hearing Pamela’s quiet wisdom.
What to expect?
Nadine Hoover says That Clear and Certain Sound stretches us “toward lives of greater connection and integrity.” Simple plots of land and community gatherings seen through Pamela Haines’ curious, attentive intellect reveal the rich, refreshing power in the ordinary. Her writings call us to tend that ring of truth in our own lives. Reading this book to myself or out loud to my family and community is a real treat. It calls us home to things that matter.”
This event is brought to you by CPMM’s Library Committee.

CPMM Library Committee presents Zoom Book Discussion with Friend Wendy Sanford
On April 9th at 2:30 pm, Wendy Sanford of Cambridge Meeting and her friend Mary Norman will join us for a reading and discussion of their recently released book, These Walls Between Us: A Memoir of Friendship Across Race and Class. Of great interest to all of us interested in forming genuine and equitable friendships across the divides created by racial and class inequities, the memoir chronicles the more than 65-year long relationship between Wendy and Mary. It’s a fascinating read, and will prompt us all to think more deeply about the ways in which our positions in social hierarchies affect our abilities to connect. Come and join us!

Religious Education Resources for March & April 2022
A parent in my meeting shared with me that they were not sure how to talk to their children about Russia’s war on Ukraine. I recalled a line in an article that had resonated for me as a parent and educator: We don’t have to protect children from difficult feelings, but we must not leave them alone with them. The Tote Bag newsletter for March/April has many resources and events to share with meetings and families, but these ideas for supporting one another and talking about ways to create peace are perhaps the most important.
