Learning Community news for 9/21

Dear Ones,

Who else noticed that our (collective) children and youth grew so much over the summer!? Even though church is open all year, September is a joyful time of re-gathering.

We assemble ourselves in times of great turmoil. We face a fresh school year, summer becoming fall, deepening cultural polarization, waning trust in institutions, climate catastrophe, the soaring cost of living, geopolitical instability, and increasing bigotry and violence. Just to name a few factors.

And yet, we come together to offer one another a crucial resource for spiritual wellbeing and emotional health. Can you guess what that is? Intentional, all-ages faith engagement. Read this short, uplifting essay about why lifelong religious education helps Unitarian Universalists face the evolving challenges of this moment.

With joy for all the growth and all the striving,

Rev. Leah
