Meet Spark!

Spark

As our children and youth program breaks until Fall, I’m wishing you all a fun and safe summer. Last Sunday during the Moment for All Ages I introduced “Spark,” our new traveling chalice program. Spark, a squishmallow, (all the rage amongst kids these days) will take turns spending a week with each family this summer.

During your time with Spark, take pictures that spread our ideals of love, kindness, friendship, peace, and justice. When your week is up, return Spark to church, and send me your favorite pictures of Spark for posting in the Murray newsletter, Facebook, and website. Maybe Spark will go to the playground and you’ll ask someone new to play? Perhaps you’ll take Spark to a Pride Festival, enjoy some time in nature, or just breathe and enjoy the moment. Whatever you do with Spark, I can’t wait to hear all about it and see your pictures.  In this way, we’ll keep our flame of connection alive even though our classes will not meet over the summer. You are each a “spark” that can help spread the faith of Unitarian Universalism. May it be so.

If you haven’t signed up for a week with Spark, please email me (use the contact form below) to schedule your visit. Again, many wishes for a wonderful summer!

Religious education for children

In focusing on Lifespan Religious Exploration, 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.

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.

Unitarian Universalist Principles for Kids

We believe:

  • That each and every person is important;
  • That all people should be treated fairly and with kindness;
  • That we should accept one another and keep on learning together;
  • That each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life;
  • That all persons should have a voice in the things that concern them;
  • In working for a peaceful, fair, and free world;
  • In caring for our planet earth, the home we share with all living things.
