What’s Happening in Lifespan Religious Education?
Welcome to our new theme of Imagination! You can access the new Soulful Home packet here.
This week we focus on the segments The Welcome Mat, At the Table and On the Message Board. Check out this week’s video.
Soul Kits were mailed this week too, so hopefully they arrive this weekend!
Christmas time is gone…
Those who took a costume home for the Christmas pageant can return it by either calling the office ahead of time to ensure someone can let you in, or by emailing Kathy (kunderwood@ucevanston.org) to arrange a time. You can leave costumes in the lobby where you picked them up. Thanks!

Upcoming Adult RE Program
PROCESS RELATIONAL THEOLOGY: A Vision For Environmental And Social Justice – (Part of the “Visions of God” Series)
Tuesdays, January 12, 19, 26. at 7-8:30 pm
Facilitated by Rev. Eileen Wiviott and Bob Mesle.
The process relational worldview, values, and modes of thought offer a broad worldview which creatively links these UU principles and give them greater depth. Since this is part of a larger series on VISIONS OF GOD, we will give some attention, but not all of our attention, to this radically different concept of God. Process relational thinking is a valuable resource helping us address issues of environmental and social justice, and links with feminist, womanist, and queer theologies.
We will highlight how Process Theology relates to these UU Principles:
1. The Inherent worth and dignity of every person
2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are all a part.
