Religious Education News Unitarian Universalist Church of Canton
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, Jedi Academy will be exploring our 4th UU principle and
discuss different religions and embody them with a mudra.

For the Week of July 16, 2017
A Table Grace:
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars. ~ Walt Whitman
A Chalice Lighting:
May this flame we light remind us that every one of us can bring the light of love to the world.
May this clear flame be a symbol that every heart can burn bright with joy, peace, and harmony.
May the wisdom of ages speak to us through this flame and stay with us.
Every one of us can be a blessing to the world.
~ Petr Samojsky
