Family Fun Night

What’s red and yellow and fun all over? A mountain of spaghetti piled high with cheese and games for kids of all ages of course! And that’s just what’s happening this Sunday, January 8th from 5-8PM at Lewis Hall in Burton.

The Vashon Island Unitarian Fellowship is hosting its first ever Family Fun Night and will be featuring mountains of homemade spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread, plus kid-friendly games, and even a Talent/No-talent show. The event is free of charge and open to all Vashon families.

"We have some great kids in our fellowship," says VIUF’s Religious Exploration Director Indigo Lewis. "We thought it would be fun to host an evening in which we could open it up and Vashon kids of all ages could relax and ham it up – and their parents could skip the mealtime prep and clean-up on a Sunday evening."

The Vashon Island Unitarian Fellowship (VIUF) has gathered since 1950 to share liberal religious values and the common search for greater understanding that gives spiritual meaning to our lives. The VIUF is committed to individual freedom of belief, diversity, a sense of community, and religion that enriches the spirit.

Director Lewis expands, "Unitarianism is a faith that really celebrates the whole child, and the adults within it are committed to providing kids of all ages opportunities to have fun, learn from one another, and explore their own spirituality in a safe community. Eating together and being silly are all part of philosophy."

Although not a spiritual event, VIUF values of inclusion, compassion, and respect will all be on view during Family Fun Night. The spaghetti will be homemade by kids and adults alike, games for younger kids will delight, and the gifts of our island youth will be on full display during the evening’s highlight – the Talent/No Talent Show. So don’t forget to bring your magic tricks, violin, or favorite Shakespeare passage to share.

Skip the dishes Sunday night and bring your family to Lewis Hall (behind the Burton Community Church) for good food, good company, and good fun.
