October Children’s Faith Formation

This month, we are exploring the theme of courage and what it means to move beyond simply feeling brave to putting our courage into action. Courage is not about never feeling afraid or uncertain. It is about making choices, speaking up, trying new things, and living our values even when doing so feels difficult or frightening. 

As Unitarian Universalists, our faith calls us to be people of courageous action. We are encouraged to boldly live our values, care for one another, seek truth, and work toward a more loving and just world. Courage is what helps us take the values we hold in our hearts and bring them into the way we live our lives. 

October 18: Being Courageous About Hard Truths

This week, we are exploring how to be courageous about hard truths and making “Truth Takes Courage” Courage Badges. As we do that, we will have the chance to talk about the history of Indigenous Peoples Day and the courageous choice to move away from and tell the truth about Columbus Day.
