Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

All are invited to this Sunday’s all ages service entitled Leading into Uncertainty with Love on Sunday, July 20th at 10:30 AM. One room schoolhouse RE will meet again on Sunday, July 27th. One room schoolhouse RE will meet in August on August 3, 17, and 24 and our RE year officially starts on September 7th. 
 
This slower start to the year allows for our volunteers to be trained and provides space for info sessions in August and September for RE and youth. Check out our calendar for important upcoming dates!

 

All UUFA families are invited to a summer pool party! Join us on Saturday, July 26 from 7-10 PM at the Green Acres pool for a night of swimming, snacks, and fun! Families with kids of all ages (siblings too!) are welcome to come and play. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!  Please RSVP with dre.kahla@uuathensga.org so we can get a headcount. Please let me know if you have any questions!
 
Are you worship curious? Ever thought about co-leading and collaborating in any aspect of worship for a group or yourself, either during a service at UUFA or in another setting? Join Rev. Pippin and Amber to reflect and dream in the sanctuary on Saturday, August 2nd from 1-3 PM. Childcare is provided. 
 
What to bring to the Worship playground? (all totally optional!)
  • Your wild and cool ideas for worship
  • A meditation, personal story, or poem/quote to play with
