RE Mission
Our religious education program works
to create an accepting environment that empowers children and youth to explore their spirituality, celebrate diversity, and live our Unitarian Universalist values.
|
Family Ministry
We believe that families play a vital role in furthering this empowerment to explore and live our UU values. We are excited to support our families by offering ideas from the UUA's Tapestry of Faith program as well as graces and thought provoking questions related to the topics introduced during Sunday religious education classes. We hope you find this new initiative enjoyable and spiritually fulfilling for your whole family.

In RE Next Week
Our summer programming continues,
we will have a fun day for the next two Sundays. If weather permits, we will go outside. If not, we will play games and create.

For the Week of August 13, 2017
|
A Table Grace:
We return thanks to the corn, and to her sisters,
the beans and squashes, which give us life.
We return thanks to the bushes and trees,
which provide us with fruit.
We return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in who is embodied all goodness,
and who directs all things for the good of his children.
~ from the Native American Iroquois Tradition

A Chalice Lighting:
We are all flames.
When we gather
hand in hand
our church
our community
our home
We inspire,
We celebrate,
We come together
Sharing our light
of hope
for our shared future.
By
Josh, Prudence, & Percival Robern
