"Welcoming Spring" Picnic, April 4, 2010

Spring comes once a year with the hope of new birth and new beginnings. North Shore Unitarian Universalists invited families to celebrate spring with an intergenerational picnic filled with fun for all ages. The picnic was held in the church Garden on Sunday, April 4, 2010 immediately after service from 12-2 PM. All area families were invited to attend this free picnic.

This intergenerational event included an egg hunt for youth led by Lisa Rustemeyer, Religious Education Director. Art projects for all were set up by Jude Selva. How do plants eat, drink or breathe in spring flower potting was handled by Bonnie Schmidt and Gail Grob. Face painting for all ages was done by Ginger Fortson. In addition, Patricia Stout guided the teens in making creative garden stones. Summer camp video was also available. The event culminated with Build Your Own Ice Cream Sundae for dessert.

Terry Van Brunt, President of the congregation, says, “We feel it is important to recognize and celebrate the families of our church and of our area. North Shore UU is a liberal religion. We welcome all regardless of their tradition, gender, race, sexual orientation, or age. We are committed to providing a loving and supportive environment for spiritual and intellectual growth.“

North Shore Unitarian Universalist is located at 28662 Krentel Road, Lacombe, just north of I-12. The planning committee provided the main courses and the ice cream Sundae dessert. They requested side dishes and salads to help create this spring feast. Approximately fifty adults and children participated.
