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 participating in Summer with Seuss.  We will be reading "And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street" and participating in a church scavenger hunt. 
Check out the church website and our Facebook page for details.

For the Week of June 24, 2018
A Table Grace:
For health and strength and daily food;
for all the joys that make life worth living;
for the opportunity to help those
who need us so very much,
we give thanks.  Amen.
~ adapted Alexander Campbell, Pilgrim Prayers for Mealtime, Pilgrim Press 2013
Chalice Lighting:
We light this chalice to celebrate the inherent worth and dignity of every person;
To reaffirm the historic pledge of liberal religion to seek that justice which transcends mere legality and moves toward the resolution of true equality; And to share that love which is ultimately beyond even our cherished reason, that love which unites us.
~  Steve Stock
