This Week's RE Newsletter

C L A S S E S

Currently the Church Campus is closed.  We are joining together weekly to learn about our faith and others, share some spirituality, and then have a time to socialize and support each other.  See below for details. 

Live Religious Education via Zoom at 11:00 am

Renewing Who We Are
​Mirrors and Windows (seeing ourselves and others)

Join us on Sunday, September 20th at 11am for our Religious Education Zoom meeting where we explore how we see ourselves and how we see others.  There will be an activity, art project (lead by Alex Schoenberg) and story to help us with our exploration.  The last 30 minutes of our hour will be spent in a fellowship "coffee hour".  Email  Catherinebuucs@gmail.com with your mailing address and she will get the art supplies to you.  

​No matter your age, ALL ARE WELCOME to join us if you are in line with our UU values and principles.  Not on our current mailing list?  Sign-up here by 10:00am on Sunday and a Zoom link will be emailed to you.  Call Catherine Bonner at (941) 720-8437 if you have any questions.  
SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTION
Our Church is in alignment with the Black Lives Matter movement.  We encourage all parents to talk to your children about racism and what the protests are all about.  Below are some resources you can use to start the conversation or for you to learn more.   

​Questions?  Contact Catherine Bonner, director of religious education at DRE@UUsarasota.org
