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 new initiative enjoyable and spiritually fulfilling for your whole family.
In RE Next Week
Our children and youth will be attending the worship service. We will be celebrating flower communion and Father's Day.

For the Week of June 11, 2017
A Table Grace:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
~ Helen Keller
A Chalice Lighting:
We light our Chalice in honor of all those who have served in our ministry.
May the Chalice be to us a symbol of the sharing of faith and hope which they have brought. May the flame remind us of the giving of their lives and love upon the altar of service and truth.
By Peter Scott Lee
This Sunday our children and youth offered the worship service. We looked to our past, present and future to inspire us to live our faith.
Family Discussion - During a shared meal, talk what being a Unitarian Universalist means to you, how have you grown into your faith, what more do you feel your faith has to offer.
Shaping Unitarian Universalism - During worship today, we created shapes utilizing play dough. I encourage you to participate in the activity at home with your loved ones. Click here for the activity description.
