New to Live Oak? If you are interested in visiting a class, and are not registered for RE, please send me an email at dlfd@liveoakuu.org. Can’t make the scheduled RE time? No worries. As we say, families are the primary religious educators. All lesson plans are available to registered families via Live Oak Padlet. If you attended RE, the site includes optional activities for home related to the session.
Are you looking for a way to nurture your spirit and get involved? Do you have skills that would help our ministries run more smoothly? Shared Ministry is how Live Oak UU Church grows programs that make a difference in people’s lives. Our minister and staff give leadership to the ministries but the programs thrive because of the talent and dedication of people who volunteer their time and energy to lead each activity. We empower you to grow in spirit. Transformation can happen in a church that fundamentally accepts you and then allows you to seek what you need.
