RE Update May 28
Volunteers Needed:
Save the date for an outdoor work party in the new RE outdoor space on June 4th from 11:30 am -1:00 pm. There is still more work to be done and I invite volunteers to assist with the following tasks: filling the sandpit, assembling the new fencing, sanding and painting picnic tables, and planting some flowers in the raised beds. If you are able to help on Sunday, June 4th please rsvp to uureligiouseducator@gmail.com. It would be great to have a little more work done before Camp Murray, when our children will enjoy a camp day in Murray’s backyard.

Religious education for children
In focusing on Lifespan Religious Education, Murray Unitarian Universalist Church affirms its desire to offer opportunities for everyone in the congregation to grow and develop. By attending programs with the Murray Community, our children (from toddlers through 6th grade) choose to journey using our “think minds, loving hearts, and helping hands” respecting ourselves and others while supported by being together with one another. Our programs include Unitarian Universalism, the wisdom of World Religions, Self-Care, and care for the interconnected web of life. The values that we will be highlighting in this year’s programs are respect, compassion, community, growth, service, conscience, justice, interdependence, integrity, and care. These values are inspired by both the Unitarian Universalist principles and Murray Church’s own covenant.
When the pandemic numbers are hopefully soon safe to gather in big groups again, we look forward to again offering some really FUN multigenerational activities for folks of all ages to enjoy together such as game night, a dance costume party, and a pajama movie night.
Each family is asked to register all children who will be participating in our programming for children and/or youth after your visit and decide you want to. There is no fee for participation in our program.
Use the contact form below to contact Carol Konvalinka-Connolly, our Director of Lifespan Religious Exploration, for more information and to register.
Little SoUUls
Little SoUUls is a weekday playgroup, Tuesdays 10-11 am during the church year, that connects parents and children (ages 0-5) in the Attleboro area. Children will enjoy open-ended play and adults can socialize in a relaxed environment. Each week we read a story reflecting Unitarian Universalist values of kindness, fairness, equity, diversity, peace, or responsibility.
