RE News: Sun Jun 10

Lifespan Religious Education
This Sunday, it will be wonderful to reflect with you about the year in Religious Education and the past four years together. The RE Sunday Service is always fun for all ages and poignantly highlights the most meaningful aspects of what we do in RE. We gather as a community to celebrate the best of who we are across the lifespan. See you then!

Please see the following six (6) announcements:

5) All You Need to Bring Is Your Presence
Each CUUCer has an opportunity to connect with our children, youth, and adults in Religious Education.

There are many ways to be a part of it...

• Teach once a month on a six-person team
• Help in an interest area
• Adult RE, welcoming newcomers, social events, social justice, spiritual practices, music, or your special interest.
