Courage

This session introduces and encourages the virtue of courage, and defines it as the ability to stand up for what we believe is right despite our fears. It also relates to the sixth Unitarian Universalist Principle — the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all — as it calls the children to find the courage to work toward this goal. An African folktale introduces the children to a young woman who finds the courage to stand up to a hungry lion to save her cousin. The children will then be guided to remember times when they have found the courage to do something risky.

 

Take it Home

Try something new as a family that feels like a challenge at least to the children. This could be anything from trying a new sport, to volunteering in a soup kitchen. Talk together about how to prepare in a way that addresses fears and encourages courage.
