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.
Next Week in RE 
Our children and youth will be hearing a story about a tailor, exploring responsible risk taking, adding to a website, contemplating life and death, and planning a worship service.

For the Week of March 5, 2017
Chalice Lighting
Let there be light!
Let it shine in dark places,
in moments of pain,
in times of grief,
in the darkness of hatred,
violence,
oppression,
where there is discouragement and despair.
Wherever darkness is to be put to flight,
Let there be light!
By Gordon B McKeeman 
A Table Grace:
Bless our hearts to hear in the breaking of bread the song of the universe. - Father John B. Giuliani 
This Sunday our children and youth attended the worship service, "Forgiveness as an Attitude".
Talk about...
When is it hardest to forgive?
Why is it so hard to say, "I'm sorry"?
Who can hurt you more, strangers or people you are close to?
A Family Ritual. End the day by saying to one another, "Good rest, may you forgive everyone who hurt you today. May you feel the joy of forgiving."
