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 your whole family.
In RE Next Week
Our children and youth will hear a story about a princess, make soup, begin designing a display for Lights on the River, participate in a retreat and make plans for going to Mohawk Valley Center for Refugees. Check for details on our Facebook Page and website.
