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 children and youth will hear a story about an elderly woman and three kings searching for a child, consider the Golden Rule, creating a video, explore the importance of communication, and help MakerSpace class.
Deck the Halls 
On Saturday December 9, all are invited to decorate the church for our upcoming holiday season.  Look for details in the church newsletter and join us for this fun morning of felllowship.

For the Week of November 26, 2017
A Table Grace:
Earth we thank you for our food,
For work and play and all that's good,
For wind and rain and sun above,
But most of all for those we love.
by Blogger named McIntaggart
Chalice Lighting:
In this holiday season,
May we find the patience
To forgive ourselves;
To forgive those who do not do as we wish;
Me was find patience.
May we find the wisdom
To let be.
