Faith Development 11.8 to 11. 14.21

Up this week… To read more about any of the offerings, please browse the Learning pages on this website.

In-Person Classes: Because of numbers and volunteer status, we are shifting our class groupings this fall. Each Sunday is dependent on volunteer involvement. Please check our homepage and facebook for any last minute updates to scheduling.

Please note that there is no childcare/nursery care during worship services! Bring a blanket, toys, coloring books, bubbles and enjoy our beautiful property as you worship with us.

You can help us plan by registering your child or youth. (link in sidebar)
Just a reminder that all classes are outdoors until further notice. Everyone should wear a mask, bring a chair and water bottle, and head to their assigned areas by 10:30 AM.

Online Faith Development for families to use at home is available at the beginning of each month. You can access these offerings HERE.

If you have questions, please reach out to dlfd@liveoakuu.org.

Calendar for November:

11/14-Faith Development Classes

PreKGather with Ms. Harmoni on the Playground

Elementary & MS Youth: Personal Care Kits. This year, rather than homeless helper kits, we are making personal care kits to donate to Street Youth Ministry in Austin. You can support our efforts that day by talking with the children about what they are doing and making a donation to the project. All proceeds will go to Street Youth Ministry to fund their work with at-risk young adults in our area. You can read more about their work here.

Senior Youth: Reproductive Justice. Youth will learn more about effective advocacy and activism related to reproductive justice as they move into planning for their first activism event.

Adults: 2nd Sunday Justice Series – Is it Possible to be an Activist using my Treasure and Ideas? The second in the SJM series takes a look at our Share the Plate ministry and how the money we share impacts lives in our community. Adults will meet in the Adult classroom (room 105) starting at 10:30. Please wear a mask.

11/21-Faith Development Classes

PreK: Gather with Ms. Harmoni on the Playground

Elementary: Circle of Trees: From Peril to Progress. So far in Circle of Trees, we’ve talked about the many benefits of trees and we’ve expressed our gratitude. Now it is time to think about taking action to support and protect trees.

MS Youth: The Problem with Thanksgiving in the United States. What are the stories we tell at Thanksgiving? Who is centered in those stories? What stories might we share that will shift the narrative?

Senior Youth: Planning for Action/Learning about Abortion Rights Issues. This week our youth will move closer to taking action as they go deeper into their chosen issue and consider how they will take it to the streets!

Adults: 3rd Sunday Living Our Values: Unchanging Truths. This workshop invites Unitarian Universalists to examine questions about the existence and nature of truth, and to explore whether and how moral thinking is shaped—either reactively or proactively—by notions that there is ultimate unchanging moral truth to guide actions.
Adults will meet in the Adult classroom (room 105) starting at 10:30. Please wear a mask.
