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 begins, we will start Jedi Academy. Join us for this Star Wars inspired program that connects to our UU principles.

For the Week of June 18, 2017
|
A Table Grace:
Sometimes we're inside,
sometimes we're out,
Sometimes we're even
"out and about."
Like you, dear Jesus,
we're on the go,
Enjoying creation-
we love it so!
Bugs and water,
sunset and flower,
We give you thanks
for this fine hour.
|
|
A Chalice Lighting:
We light our Chalice in honor of all those who have served in our ministry.
May the Chalice be to us a symbol of the sharing of faith and hope which they have brought. May the flame remind us of the giving of their lives and love upon the altar of service and truth.
By Peter Scott Lee

This Sunday our children and youth attended the worship service and celebrated the flower communion as well as considered spirituality.
Family Discussion - During a shared meal, ponder these questions together - What do people in your family think about their souls? Worry about feeding them with spiritual ideas? What are some of their favorite "soul foods"?
Flower Doodle - Click here for a fun Zen doodle for flower communion.
Family Discovery -
Spin the radio dial, or, if your radio has a scan button, let it go from one station to the next while everybody listens for spiritual sounds. Let anybody say, "stop" when they hear something that sounds spiritual to them and stop the search so you can all listen for a moment before moving on. Do you all agree on which music is spiritual?
