Six central themes invite engagement: 1) We Are People of God's Extravagant Welcome 2) We Belong to Christ 3) We Are One at Baptism and the Table 4) We Are People of Covenant 5) We Thank God by Working for a Just and Loving World 6) We Listen for a Still-speaking God Includes Bible stories, questions for reflection, suggestions for children's literature that illustrates core UCC values, ideas for family activities, and prayers that reflect the diversity of the UCC.
