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 religious education program will have a fun day.  If weather permits, we will be outside.  Dress appropriately. 
Check out the church website and our Facebook page for details.

For the Week of June 17, 2018
A Table Grace:
In a world that suffers from over consumption, we will not take more than we need. In a globe where producing enough food for all has been frustrated, we will not nurture apathy. Instead, in grateful celebration of this meal, help us strive towards an earth that is healthy enough to assure the well-being of everyone.
Amen.
~ Interfaith Power and Light
Chalice Lighting:
This fire is a reminder of the light within us all;
the yearning for freedom,
the longing for truth,
the flame of intuition,
the torch of conscience.
~ Gregory David Miller  
Please consider utilizing these ideas to deepen and inspire your faith during the week.
