Children and Youth Religious Education Classes — 14 May 2023

Children and youth will attend the worship service for the first 15-20 minutes and then are dismissed to their classes.

We are now discussing personal spiritual growth and how these ideas connect to our Unitarian Universalist faith.

Elementary Class:  Toolbox of Faith, Part II — We started the year with Unitarian Universalist identity by exploring the different spiritual “tools” that help us to lead better lives.  As we enter our season of focus on personal spiritual growth, we will return to the toolbox to discover more ways to keep ourselves grounded and centered in our lives.

Middle and High School:  Virtue Ethics — Lessons adapted from the Tapestry of Faith curriculum Virtue Ethics that focus each week on the principles that can guide us toward ethical decision making in our daily lives.

Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education — 14 May 2023

Please join us on Sunday (14 May 2023) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.

This week, we will take a quick look at progress (or the lack thereof) on the bills we’ve been tracking but our main focus of our time together will be our discussion of the introductory chapters and the first of the twelve steps — “Courageous Conversations” — in Patrice Cullor’s An Abolitionist’s Handbook.

We will also give some ideas for finding and following the bills that matter most to you and help us all to uphold the inherent worth and dignity of every person wherever possible.

We will also have a preview of An Abolitionist’s Handbook to decide if we want to read it together as a group.
