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 the story Hide and Seek with God, continue exploring building with Frank Lloyd Wright, make final plans for their project, plan for Boston trip and participate in church ministry. C heck for details on our Facebook Page and website .

For the Week of May 5, 2019
A Table Grace:
Of all the gifts in all the world,
for love we are grateful.
Of all the gifts in all the world,
for helping hands we are grateful.
Of all the gifts in all the world,
for food we are grateful.
May we remember that the best gifts don't arrive wrapped in paper or bows.
For love, helping hands, food and so much more including...
(participants state non-tangibles aloud here).
We are grateful.
Amen and May it be so.
by Amy Kindred
A Chalice Lighting:
We have tomorrow   
Bright before us  
Like a flame  
Yesterday  
A night-gone thing  
A sun-down name  
And dawn-today  
Broad arch above the road we came  
We march!  
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: 
"Hidden in all stories is the One story.  The more we listen, the clearer that story becomes.  Our  true identity , who we are, why we are here, what sustains us, is in this s tory ." - Rachel Naomi Remen
