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 lazy bear, enjoy a take-apart party, continue to explore winter ecology, and participate in church ministry.  C heck for details on our Facebook Page and website .

For the Week of January 13, 2019
A Table Grace:
For food in a world where many walk in hunger
For faith in a world where many walk in fear
For friends in a world where many walk alone
We give you thanks, O God.
Amen.

A Chalice Lighting:
As the chalice is lit,
Let us come together into the sacred space we have created.
Let the cares of the day fall away
and know that here is a quiet place for reflection,
for a pause in our lives, for breathing into our true selves.
Let what is said and felt here
add richness to the dimensions of our lives.
by Catherine Callahan
