What Types of Resources are in the Packets?

Soulful Home - Supporting Families as Living our Faith in Everyday SpacesSoulful Home is a monthly guide that helps families explore our monthly themes in their daily lives. The monthly packets are organized around eight distinct family "spaces" with ideas and resources to fill those spaces with UU theme-based exploration. The packets are organized (and sent in Word format as well as PDF) so RE leaders can break up the 8 components if they wish and send them out separately and strategically so as to give their families bite-sized faith-based activities. While designed for at-home family use, a number of congregations use this material to enhance their Sunday morning programming.
