Traveling Trevor
I am a big proponent of acting on ideas. You just never know where something is likely to go until you get it started. That is how First Parish Church’s penny drive for the Southeast Asian Tsunami survivors’ started. That idea took on a life of its own and ended up being one of the things in my life of which I am the most proud.
Trevor is another one of those ideas. The idea is to send a stuffed animal bear to Unitarian Universalist churches around the country as a sort of pen-pal experience for the Sunday School class at First Parish Church in Taunton. On December 27th, my wife and daughter and I went to the local Build-A-Bear Workshop and created ‘Trevor’ - a 16 inch golden brown stuffed bear with an adorable little maroon and tan outfit with matching hat and a blue backpack. My daughter named him.
I posted my idea on an email list for Unitarian Universalist religious educators. Within 2 days I have already received 10 requests for Trevor to visit churches from an hour up the road to across the country. I couldn’t be happier. Sunday, at church, I will introduce Trevor to our congregation and get the Sunday School kids involved in getting Trevor ready for his first trip.
Stay tuned on this site for regular updates on Trevor’s travels.
Now its 18 requests.
