Questions to ponder with your friends and or family:

1. What is a Memory? What's a fond memory you have about being a part of Religious Education this year?

2.  Listen and watch this Story about memories by Mem Fox. What does it bring up for UU?

3. Who are you now closer with that is a DIFFERENT age than UU in this community of LOVE, SERVICE, JUSTICE and PEACE?
