For this Sunday (15 November 2026), our children and youth will continue our second pillar of the church year — Jewish and Christian Heritage — where we focus on their importance in the Unitarian Universalist tradition through stories of love and justice from the Hebrew and Christian Testaments.
We will continue this journey in November and through the month of December — our children and youth will encounter stories from the two traditions that are essentially the parents and grandparents of Unitarian Universalism.
A growing number of Christians and Jews are speaking apologetically about their faith as something that motivates them to work for justice for all people.
They express a faith that is very different from the fundamentalist voices that often claim to be the only true representatives of the faith. These stories and their messages of justice, love, and mercy belong to us, and we have a right to claim and reframe them.
For this Sunday, our children and youth will look at The Year of Jubilee from the Book of Leviticus.
