Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Tuscaloosa News Feed

Hello, UUCT Members and Friends. Debbie Carden has been working with the UU program for two months now and she wanted to let the congregation and wider community know a bit more about what we do back in Religious Education. She has a curriculum that comes to her from Birmingham UU Church (UUCB) that she uses.    Each week we do our own joys and concerns (with electric tea lights); read and discuss a book dealing with our topic; and do an activity or two (sometimes it’s an art activity, sometimes a game, sometimes a scavenger hunt, etc); and sometimes we have a small snack, if we have some extra time or the children are hungry. :)   We would love to have some of you join us and see what RE is all about and also let you get to know our amazing children a little bit better.

Feel free to also bring a beverage and journal.  Date: June 21st Time: 6:00 PM CT Location: 6400 New Watermelon Rd., Tuscaloosa, AL 35406
