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 butterflies, search for treasure, explore the impacts of climate change, host a fundraising luncheon and participate in church ministry. Check for details on our Facebook Page and website.

For the Week of February 3, 2019
A Table Grace:
Let us be together; let us eat together. Let us be vital together, let us be radiating truth, radiating the light of life. Never shall we denounce anyone, never entertain negativity. - The Upanishads
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 to illumine our minds.
That new love is ever waiting to break through to warm our hearts.
May we be open to this light, and to the rich possibilities that it brings us.
by the Rev. Charles A. Howe
May the following deepen and inspire your faith during the week ahead.
