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 enjoyable and spiritually fulfilling for you and your whole family.
In RE Next Week
Our children and youth will hear a story about a brave ant, explore the web of life, continue to explore climate change, learn about creating a worship service and continue to plan a worship service. Check for details on our Facebook Page and website.

For the Week of March 10, 2019
A Table Grace:
O You who feeds the little birds,
bless our food, O Lord.
~ Old Norwegian Table Grace
A Chalice Lighting:
We light this chalice to affirm that new light is ever waiting to break through and enlighten our days:
that new truth is ever waiting
to break through and illumine our minds
and that new new love is ever waiting
to break through to warm our hearts.
May we be open to this light,
and to the rich possibilities it brings us.
by The Rev. Charles A. Howe
