Here's
what's happening with Religious Education Please join us this Sunday as we honor all the "Mothers" in our lives who bring smiles to our faces and make us feel special. Whether that person be a mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandparent or a close friend, let's take the day to show them how much we care and how special they are to us. Additional adult volunteers would be very helpful! Our high school youth group will still meet from 12-1 pm after the worship service for open discussion. This will ensure that our teens will have plenty of time to wake up early and make breakfast for their mom, or at least clean their room before she wakes up. Happy Mother's Day! We can't wait for Sunday! Please join us! Volunteers are encouraged! Come be a kid again and have some fun! A Few Words on Grace from Christine Pensa “In
grace something is transcended, once and for all overcome. Grace
happens in spite of something; it happens in spite of
separateness and alienation. Grace means that life is once
again united with life, self is reconciled with self. Grace
means accepting the abandoned one. Grace transforms fate
into a meaningful vocation. It transforms guilt to trust
and courage. The word grace has something triumphant in
it.” – Yrjo Kallinen We
accept you for who you are and who are yet to become. The
Religious Education Committee meets the first Thursday of the
month in the Children’s Library from 7:00 until 9:30 pm.
Our meetings are open to the congregation and we encourage people
to attend. |

I would like to welcome everyone to another wonderful year of Religious Education at the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater. In our classes, we encourage everyone to speak up, ask questions, offer suggestions and stay involved. The purpose of our Religious Education Program is not only to learn more about Unitarian Universalism, but to help build relationships, develop a greater sense of belonging, to support one’s spiritual journey and to have FUN! Our Religious Education classes begin at 10:30 am. Our Nursery offers free play and loving care for our littlest UUs (ages 0-3). On the first Sunday of each month we begin with Children’s Worship in the Maxwell Library. This gives the children a chance to worship and share on a more cozy level. On the remaining Sundays, the children will attend the first part of the service in the Sanctuary with their parents. The children will participate with the rest of the congregation in lighting the chalice, singing hymns and hearing a story in keeping with the day’s theme before going to their classes. I encourage you not to let Religious Education end when you leave UUC on Sunday, but to make it a part of your everyday life. In addition to Sundays, I am usually at church on Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and most Fridays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm or we can get together at another time that is more convenient for you. I hope to see you on Sunday
with a smile! |
