Taking It Home: Families and Faith

Welcome UU Families!

You have opened the first page of the FMTF booklet series Taking It Home: Families and Faith. These booklets were written for congregations and families to use at home and in community to support them through life transitions and spiritual/ethical challenges. Clicking a link below will open the booklet of your choice in PDF format.

Choose a booklet that interests or challenges you and your family and discover ways to talk about it. We hope these resources will help you deepen your faith and nurture your love as you learn and grow together.

These six booklets have been written by UU leaders who have UU families of their own. We appreciate their faith-filled endeavors:

Nancy Palmer-Jones & Pat Hoertdoerfer		Let's Talk About Respect
Jacqueline Clement		Let's Talk About Time/Money Balance
Pat Hoertdoerfer & Lynn Ungar		Let's Talk About Marriage and Committed Relationships
Colleen McDonald		Let's Talk About Divorce and Broken Relationships
Carol Galginaitis		Let's Talk About Families and Loss
Sparrow Alden		Let's Talk About Interfaith Families

We acknowledge the active role of the Family Matters Task Force members and our many companions in this booklet-writing adventure. Their ideas and words, activities and pictures, creativity and pizzazz appear on the pages of every booklet. We appreciate the funding support of the Unitarian Sunday School Society and the Fund for Unitarian Universalism. Visit our web site (www.uua.org/families) to browse the many other programs and resources for UU Family ministry.

May these booklets promote intergenerational conversations, family faith development and fun!
