| 11:00 am | What Is Trust? Facebook Live and YouTube – Rev. Michelle Collins; Cynthia Asprodites, WA. Trust is a crucial part of so much of our lives, our relationships, and our communities and institutions. Some would even say that trust is one of the things that makes the world go. For all of this, trust is still a rather abstract concept and can be difficult to define. We’ll take a closer look at trust today and some of its surprising components. |

RE Updates |
Online Classes K-12For everyone’s safety, RE in the time of COVID is on Zoom for the time being. If you and/or your kid feel burnt out by Zoom, you are not alone. The following classes are offered this year: K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, High School. There will be no OWL in the Fall. Coming of Age Returns!Coming of Age is designed especially for 8th and 9th graders to explore Unitarian Universalism deeply. Students explore their own story and faith to write a credo, a statement of beliefs. They are also paired up with a grown-up mentor from the congregation for dialogue and discussion. This class ends with the students creating and leading their own Sunday service. It has been two years since the last Coming of Age so if you have a 10th, 11th or 12th grader, they are highly recommended to join. Coming of Age runs from 12:15-2:15. The depth of topics require more time. There will be breaks. Coming of Age students are not required to attend RE classes. The Coming of Age service will be on May 23 2021. |
