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 will

participating in a faith-filled Fun Day. We will be decorating gifts for the RE teachers and assistants.

Check out the church website and our Facebook page for details.

A Table Grace:

I hold the splendid daylight in my hands,

Inwardly grateful for a lovely day.

Thank you life.

Chalice Lighting:

We are Unitarian Universalist,

With minds that think,

Hearts that love,

And hands that are ready to serve.

Together we care for our Earth,

And work for friendship and peace in our world.
