Book sorting!

Did you know that the stories and books that surround our children and youth not only provide time for family connection and enhance a sense of imagination and adventure, but they can also help kids understand our UU Principles and values? 

From The Lorax to The Rainbow Fish to the It's Okay to be Different Book,authors have helped us to teach our children lessons about caring for our earth, sharing our gifts, honoring diversity and beyond. 

Which books do you think should be on the shelf of every UU kid? Which books should be on our shelves here at UU Flint?

On Saturday, May 28th from 10:30am-1:30pm, join us as we explore our church's current collection of children's books and begin to develop a wish list for a book drive in the fall!

Bring a list of your favorite books, a bag lunch and let's build our dream UU Library! 


*Make it a family activity; children and youth are encouraged to accompany their family so that they may offer their expertise as well! Childcare is available by request only for our youngest children. Please RSVP no later than May 26th to director-lifespanlearning@uuflint.org

Congregational Vote this Sunday!

As Candidating week winds down, please remember that our congregation will have one more opportunity to hear from the Rev. Dr. Deane Oliva on Sunday, May 15!

(Click here for a full schedule of remaining events and here for more information about the Rev. Dr. Deane Oliva)

As always, we will ring our bell in the Chilren's Bell Tower (located outside the front doors of the building) at 10:25 to call us together for worship. Please be sure to arrive early so that your child may participate!

To help us make this service extra special, our children and youth will be invited forward to share our special words for chalice lighting. Try practicing these at home with your child!

"We light this chalice 

to celebrate

Unitarian Universalism;

The church of the 

Open mind,

Loving Heart,

and Helping Hands.

We help our Earth

and each other!"

Immediately following the May 15th worship service, our congregation will vote! Your presence will help us meet the quorum necessary to vote, and your vote will determine whether or not Deane can and will accept our call!

See you on Sunday!

Special Request!

Thanks to all who enthusiastically played rhythm instruments for our Easter/Earth Celebration on Sunday! We made a joyful noise together!! 

 If by any chance, you or your child enthusiastically kept the instrument to play some more at home, please return the instrument as soon as possible to church. We are missing a maraca and some of the "egg shakers." These instruments were lovingly donated to the church for use in creating music together in worship. Please be thoughtful and return them, if they just happened to come home with you. Thanks!
