Welcome to Children’s RE! Join us for the Coming of Age class.

Age Range: Teens (~ 7th to 12th)

Class Time: Youth attend service only through Chalice Lighting, then proceed to class. They break for potluck, bringing their lunch back into class. Mentors will join us for lunch and the afternoon session.

Facilitators: Kristin with Nathaniel B.

The Pathfinders Youth Class is using the Soul Matter “Becoming” Coming of Age curricula this year.

​Becoming is built around a particular framing of the spiritual life, inspired by the work being done at the Sacred Design Lab. This frame views the spiritual life as made up of three dimensions and accompanying questions:
Belonging – To whom or what do I belong?
Becoming – Who am I becoming?
Beyond – What is beyond me?

This month, as we reflect on The Practice of Joy, we invite you to engage with open hearts and generous spirits. Together this month, we will launch our Pledge Drive and celebrate Earth Day, embracing the opportunity to reimagine how we can use our gifts to advance Climate Justice within our local community.

Now, more than ever, we at GNUUC need this season of stewardship that encourages us to pause, to breathe and remember the joy that our community brings, to feel how we are connected to one another and how grateful we are for that connection.

Our guest speaker for this year’s lecture, to be hosted on Saturday, January 20 at 7 p.m., is Olivia Hill, the first openly transgender elected official in Tennessee. Council Member-at-Large, Olivia Hill was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. A product of Metro public schools, Olivia’s roots are planted firmly in this city she loves. She has seen firsthand the kindness, strength, and creativity demonstrated by her fellow Nashvillians. She knows the vast potential this city offers.

The annual Robert C. Palmer Lecture on Human Rights was established by the church’s Board of Directors in 1983 to honor the legacy and service of the Rev. Robert Palmer, our first called minister.

Our guest speaker today is Ken Sizemore.

We are asking everyone to bring school supplies (think notebooks, pencils, glue sticks, backpacks, lunch boxes, etc.) which will be donated, in her memory, to the Cheatham County Board of Education.

Our Spiritual Practice for March 15, 2023, is Soul Writing. In this practice, we explore our inner life with pen and paper. Please bring something to write with and something to write upon. If you are able, please use a writing implement that is not a computer. Your writing experience will be for you only, you will not need to share with anyone else.  Come and join the fun exploring a variety of writing experiences.
