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.

For the Week of June 16, 2019
This will be the last Weekly Faith Inspirations for the summer. We are taking a hiatus and look for a new format starting in September!
A Table Grace:
For seeds-that, like memories and minds, keep in themselves the recollection of what they were and the power to become something more than they are...
~ From "Gratitude for the Garden" by the Rev. Max Coots
A Chalice Lighting:
Our prophets died for the freedom of faith;we are here in their spirit.
We are here to practice and sustain our living tradition; to light a chalice, claiming for justice
the heat and power of fire.
In our free faith, we are here, seeking freedom from despair, the freedom to be loved as ourselves,
and the freedom to grow beyond imagination.
We are here, gathered in the name of all that we find holy.
Let us give thanks for the gift of gathering here.
by Heather K. Janules
