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.

For the Week of June 4, 2017

A Table Grace:
May this food restore our strength, giving new energy to tired limbs, new thoughts to weary minds. May this drink restore our souls, giving new vision to dry spirits, new warmth to cold hearts.
And once refreshed, may we give new pleasure to you, who gives us all.

A Chalice Lighting:
Our light is the light of the sun,
keeper of all we love;
our light is the light of the earth,
provider of sustenance;
our light is the light of all living things,
life precious like our own.
our light is the light of each of us,
bound together in need and hope;
our light is the light of the cosmos,
keeper of all we know.

This Sunday our children and youth continued rehearsing for the RE Sunday worship service. Our theme this year is, we are the future!
Family Discussion - During a shared meal, talk about how you used to think about things differently than you do now and what helped you gain a different perspective. Or, tell about a time when you and another person held conflicting perspectives about an issue or idea and how your different perspectives affected your interaction. Share what you think it means when we say our fourth Principle is "the free and responsible search for truth and meaning."
