“Raising World Citizens"
Arlo Yanik, Remy Yanik, Kara Yanik & Evan Yanik
Music: Linda Metzner, piano
Ireland is the ancestral home of Kara’s family, and she spent a semester in college living in Cork and attending the National University of Ireland. For her 40th birthday she wanted to go back and bring her family. Unfortunately, at the time, she could not do so due to COVID-19. After nearly two years of
limited travel and an inordinate amount of time alone at home, Evan and Kara along with their two boys finally decided to travel to Ireland to spend a month immersed in another culture.
Having both had very poignant travel experiences in their youth, they very much want to ensure their sons inherit the travel bug. They believe that
traveling the world can teach us so many things about humanity and about ourselves. We can learn where our traditions and customs come from. We can also learn about how cultural differences help to shape individuals’ lives. We also build resiliency and empathy for others while traveling.
During their month they got to see many of the island’s traditional tourist spots and many that are off the beaten path and want to show you what they learned on this trip. This service will hopefully give you insight into a family trying to raise world citizens.
Please also make time this Sunday to stay after the service for a short video presentation with photos and videos from their trip! 12:00-12:30 p.m.

No Virtual RE this week11:00 a.m. - UUCSV Supervised Play Susan Enwright Hicks, RE Director
 There will be no virtual RE this week. Families that would like to watch a story together may watch this story (read by the author) in honor of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage month. Drawn Together by Minh Le and illustrated by Dan Santat, is an incredible story of overcoming language barriers and building family bonds.
11:00a.m. at UUCSV
Susan and her family are away this week. Parent/RE Committee member, Anna Marcel De Hermanas, will be supervising/ leading any children
attending in-person this Sunday. Thanks Erin and Anna!
RE Committee Members and nursery care volunteers are needed! As we transition into in-person and multi-generational offerings, we need more help to plan our programs on Sunday mornings in RE spaces to make sure kids are safe and young visitors receive quality care. If you would like to help shape future programs, or to volunteer as an RE childcare provider, please let Susan know by email REdirector.uusv@gmail.com or by phone at 828.450-5319. Thank you!

If you will submit your haiku(s) to Andy Reed at Reedroid53@gmail.com no later than May 31,2022, I’ll forward them to Rev. Claudia, who will choose some to use that Sunday.
