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 on the left will open the booklet of your choice in your browser window. Browse the CD to find the booklets in pdf and rtf formats.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.
The six booklets in the series (listed on the left menu) have been written by UU leaders who have UU families of their own. We appreciate their faith-filled endeavors:
| Nancy Palmer-Jones and Pat Hoertdoerfer | Let's Talk About Respect |
| Jacqueline Clement | Let's Talk About Time/Money Balance |
| Pat Hoertdoerfer and 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!
