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 questions, sponsor a visitor specializing in science, continue to explore winter ecology and humans adapatations, and participate in church ministry.  C heck for details on our Facebook Page and website .

For the Week of January 20, 2019
A Table Grace:
Always grateful and thankful for the continued blessings of love, abundance, prosperity, health, happiness, joy, peace, grace, and unity.
by Eric B. West
A Chalice Lighting:
We light our flaming chalice as a beloved people
united in love
and thirsting for restorative justice.
May it melt away the tethers that uphold whiteness in our midst.
May it spark in us a spirit of humility.
May it ignite in us radical love that transforms our energy into purposeful action.
This a chalice of audacious hope.
This chalice shines a light on our shared past,
signaling our intention to listen deeply, reflect wisely,
and move boldly toward our highest ideals.

May the following deepen and inspire your faith during the week ahead.

Contemplation Topic
During a shared meal with family or friends or as part of a contemplative practice, ponder the following: "Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy." ~ Aristotle
What are some of the positive aspects of anger?

Winter Science Experiments - Our MakerSpace class has been exploring winter ecology.  Check out these fun experiments to try at home.

Magna Carta for the World Wide Web - Our Spirit of Adventure class learned about Tim Berner's Lee, a Unitarian, who invented the World Wide Web.  He has created a contract for the web.  Take a look.
