Those principles are:
- The inherent dignity and worth of all people.
- Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
- The right of conscience and use of the democratic process.
- A goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.
- Acceptance of others and encouragement of spiritual growth.
- Respect for the interdependent web of life of which we are a part.
While lessons involve drawing from many spiritual practices, we also teach them the value of stewardship. The children help every week as we take up canned goods to donate to Clemson Community Care. They also help in other ways throughout the year.
The latest project also speaks to the seventh principle of the interdependent web of life, by selling laundry detergent made from gentle and natural materials.
The children and youth will sell homemade natural laundry detergent after services for $5 per container until we run out. Each container will clean approximately 12 to 32 loads of laundry. They made the detergent on April 10th with RE teachers during class in honor of Earth Day. Proceeds from the sales will be given to the UUFC as part of their Stewardship fundraising this year. Support our youth in their fundraising efforts and clean your clothes at the same time! For more info contact Theresa Pizzuto at Theresa.pizzuto@gmail.com.
