This Week in Religious Education

I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and a lovely holiday season. While this can be a very joyful time, it can also be hard. Please know you can reach out to us here at OUUC for support and community at this, or any other, time. I keep regular office hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 10:30-1:30, but I am also happy to schedule phone calls or meetings at your convenience Saturdays-Thursdays.

And here are a few reflections and resources you might find helpful in crafting meaningful holidays for your family:

New Dream: Simplify the Holidays Campaign

A Free Study Guide (from a Christian lens but applicable to all I think) to Unplug the Christmas Machine

A gratitude workshop for families

Re-Thinking Thanksgiving

A UU Advent Practice

This is the All Music service, for all ages. The Children will stay in the worship service and there will be no religious education classes other than nursery care and middle school group.

9:15:

• Nursery Care

11:00:

• Nursery Care
• Middle School Group, watching and discussing an episode of the Simpsons, 'Missionary Impossible".

We will be exploring the theme in worship, small groups, and religious education classes this month, and here are some resources for exploring the theme at home as well.

Our new year of classes begin this Sunday! It's going to be a great year, and one way to make it even better … knowing who will be coming!
