Happy Spring!

Due to Spring Break, we will hold a smaller program this Sunday. Our Director of Religious Education, Sara Lewis, is out of town. Anisa Bentlemsani, Staff Teacher, will be coordinating classes on Sunday.

Sunday and Every Day: Taking it Home

Last Sunday the Spirit Play kids learned about the Spring Equinox, while the elementary grades learned about UU Civil Rights martyr Viola Liuzzo.

Discuss it at home:

1. Is it ever frightening to do what you know is right?

2. What actions have you taken to live out your values? What actions would you like to take?

Social Justice Action:

1. Support BLUU (Black Lives of Unitarian Universalists) in their work to support black UU's and make our faith more diverse and welcoming to all.

Spiritual Practice:

Celebrate the coming of spring by making your yard welcoming to wildlife!

Add to our "Faithful Journey"

For this month's theme of "Journey", we invite you to add some steps or wheels to our "Faithful Journeys" poster in the back hallway. Take a pre-cut footprint or wheelchair track and write on it how you have been living your faith journey recently, then glue it to our poster. Come check out how others have been living their faith journeys as well!
