Welcome to this blog. . .

Welcome to this blog made from my blog-type thoughts as Director of Religious Education, or DRE, at the Unitarian Church of Montreal. They are excerpted from the weekly letters I send to all families and helpers in our RE (or Religious Ed) program. If you would like to be put on the e-mailing list for this letter, usually over half full of reminders and announcements, questions and quotes, with occasional thoughtful paragraphs, please contact dre@ucmtl.ca

From the January 26th RE families letter :


Were you here for Diane’s sermon about Superheroes? If so, you saw me flash in as “Super DRE!!,” and here’s a photo [apologies for poor quality --we need photographers for RE, if you are interested!] of me later with some of the Jr Youth who had slept over the night before.

Being the DRE, or Director of Religious Education is a role I enjoy within the limits of my 20 paid hours, but the truth is, we’d like more help to do all we manage to do in RE. You only have to make everything right in the world and stand up for all those who are hurting, wronged or oppressed . . .Joking aside, there are small and bigger tasks you could enjoy doing here, and we’d love to see you! And the mentoring, sharing, supportive relationships Diane spoke of are easy to build as we work together.

Of interest : The UUA Bookstore and Skinner House Books are pleased to announce the launch of Skinner House eBooks. For a complete list of Skinner House eBooks and purchasing links, visit the UUA Bookstore website at www.uua.org/bookstore

Blessings on your snowy weeks, Caroline

p.s. I made up this haiku while out skiing briefly in a local park last Sunday evening [then got into a tangle of falling down and couldn't get my skis OFF for at least ten minutes!! Dratted release!!]:

Turquoise evening sky,
dark domes of cold church towers;
frozen sunset hour.
