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 summer programming continues, we will have a fun day.  If weather permits, we will go outside.  If not, we will play games and create.

For the Week of August 20, 2017
A Table Grace:
We gather here today to share and give thanks,
To tell stories and break bread and be together in holy communion.
We light our chalice this morning in the spirit of thanksgiving,
With love, hope, and generosity of spirit,
Grateful for this blessed opportunity to be together.
By Nick Wilbourn
A Chalice Lighting:
In memory of all the flames that didn't die-
in the midst of darkness,
in spite of the darkness,
we light this flame today.
"The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness did not overcome it." (John 1:5 NRSV)
By Amarette Callaway  
This Sunday we participated in a fun day.  We played outdoor games and enjoyed each others companionship.
Family Discussion - During a shared meal, something that you have would like to do before the summer ends.  Is there someplace you would like to go, a event that looks fun or enjoying a sunset together?
