Our church campus is currently closed but we are continuing to hold a live Religious Education Zoom call for all ages each Sunday at 10:30- 11:15am.
This year we are using the Soul Matters thematic programming for our Religious Education Program. Each Sunday we light the chalice, and use stories, videos, art and games to support the lesson of the day. We have time for fellowship and support too. But mostly, WE HAVE LOTS OF FUN!
See below for details for the lesson this week.

Live Religious Education via Zoom at 10:30 am
Sunday, May 9th
Stories of who we are: Families Too often, one single dominant vision of family crowds out the many other forms that families take. Help us celebrate the many diverse forms of family and affirm the beauty of our own unique family forms. In each family there is a person who takes on the "mothering" role. In honor of Mother's day, bring your "mom" or a photo of your "mom" and a story to share about them. For our art project, please bring two pieces of copy paper, markers or crayons, scissors, tape and a straw or chop stick. 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 religious education mailing list? Sign-up here and a Zoom link will be emailed to you. Call Catherine Bonner at (941) 720-8437 if you have any questions. |
