We know the temperature is dropping, but in Religious Exploration & Engagement (REE) classes we are toasty warm as we continue to explore the principles, sources, and rituals of Unitarian Universalism! This year, UUCUC has been using Soul Matters throughout the church and across age groups. This means in services you will hear about the Soul Matters monthly theme; this month’s is “Wonder”! This is the same theme that continues to be taught and explored in children and youth’s REE classes as well as in adult Soul Matters small groups. This level of continuity allows families a chance to have conversations and explore the theme throughout the month together, as they all hear similar messages in different formats.
On the first Sunday of the month, families attend services together for a special All-Ages service where the monthly theme is introduced. On the following Sundays, REE volunteers use the Soul Matters religious education curriculum to create activities, gather books, and consider ways to help children and youth in their groups explore the topic and have fun too!
We look forward to future fun activities on the themes of:
- December: Wonder
- January: Finding our Center
- February: Love
We all appreciate the consistent engagement and joy of the children and youth in the REE programs at UUCUC. A special thank you to all families and REE volunteers for continuing to support and care for our youngest and young-er UUCUC-ers.
