The Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation children's RE program has returned for the Fall season

08/27/2026

We invite you to join Rev. Jenn for our upcoming 2nd Hour Discussion Group on Sunday, September 27, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the sanctuary.

In this second session of "Exploring the Seven Principles and the UUA's Shared Values," we will reflect on the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Together, we'll discuss what it truly means to affirm someone’s humanity—even when we disagree with their choices or need to hold them accountable for harm—and examine how the core values of Love and Equity deepen this enduring Unitarian Universalist commitment.

New participants are always welcome, and you do not need to have attended the first class to participate. We hope to see you there.
