What Saturday teaches me about Sunday (Part 1)

Children’s Program
This week we close our theme by looking at the ways we can heal by practicing self-care, not as something selfish, but as a way of tending to our bodies and giving ourselves the same kindness and compassion we offer to others. As we do that, we will have the chance to lift up our UU shared value of Love, and its invitation to let love guide how we care for and offer healing to ourselves.

​​​ After growing up in a liberal community, I grew outside of my comfort zone by having conservative allies in challenging life situations. My own biases were changed, and as a result, my beliefs altered. I will share life-changing moments that have opened my heart and mind.  

Children’s program:
All month long, we are exploring the theme of Healing. This week, we are looking at the hurt that arises from exclusion (including the many forms of bullying) and how we can heal the hurt from that through acts of inclusion. As we do that, we will have the chance to talk about the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors transgender and gender-expansive people whose lives have been lost to violence and hatred. The Living Our Values activity will lift up our UU Value of Justice

How do we heal together? How do we heal the past?

Children’s program:
All month long, we are exploring the theme of Healing. This week, we are looking at the hurt that arises from seeing your life as “a glass half empty,” and how we can heal this through gratitude. As we do that, we will have the chance to focus on Thanksgiving, and its invitation to pause and give thanks. The Living Our Values activity will lift up our UU Value of Generosity, and its call to “cultivate a spirit of gratitude.”
