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 April 14, 2019
|
A Table Grace:
May the waters flow peacefully; may the herbs and plants grow peacefully; may all the divine powers bring unto us peace. May the rain come down in the proper time, may the earth yield plenty of corn, may the country be free from war. The supreme Lord is peace.
|
|
A Chalice Lighting:
Fire and water, ancient opposites
Sun and ocean, the cradle of life
Dancing flame and dancing river-
We invoke them together today
As we kindle our chalice flame.
By
Laura Horton-Ludwig

Giving to the UU Ministry for Earth - UU Ministry for Earth depends on donations in order to empower bold action, partnership, and connections within and beyond Unitarian Universalism. Please give to support this vital ministry by clicking on the link above!

We, the youth of America, are striking because the science says we have just a few years to transform our energy system, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. Learn more at the link above.
