When we think about commitment, we think first about our Unitarian Universalist commitment to asking questions and being curious. We encourage people to ask questions of wonder. We support people as they ask questions of doubt.  Far from outlawing doubters and questioners, our faith places them at the center.  So, what’s one of the ways our non-conformist faith guides us into becoming a people of Commitment? It tells us to “Never lose your commitment to being curious!”

Our faith is a living tradition. We describe 6 Sources of our living tradition, instead of one holy book or one prophet. And when we learn new things, we expect our faith to change. We vote on adding new sources and new principles, as well as changing them. We are committed to keeping an open mind about anything that might challenge and change our faith. So, what’s one of the ways our faith guides us into becoming a people of Commitment? It tells us, “Everything changes, so be ready to never stop growing!”

We are committed to conscience as a way to tell right from wrong.  Our 5th UU principle inspires us towards “The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.” Instead of turning to one person (like a king or a single “wiseman”) for all the answers, we believe that every single person has wisdom inside that needs to be listened to. The still, inner voice that we call conscience is a way to guide us on our journeys. So, what’s one of the ways our faith guides us into becoming a people of commitment? It says, “Always trust your conscience/inner voice/gut to help you tell right from wrong.”

It tells us “Commit to treating the struggles of others as your own.

Kindness Rocks Activity for Kids

Creating Kindness Rocks is a great opportunity for kids to practice thinking about and encouraging others.

It's a great project to do with your family and friends or with your classroom or activities group.

Below are some ideas you can use the kindness rocks this holiday season.

leave them out for delivery drivers (we included a sign you can print)

top off each place setting with a rock before the holiday dinner

put a basket with rocks next to toy or food drive containers for people to take

For non-holiday ideas, see the list below.

We recommend placing rocks in places that do not disturb nature or other natural habitats. Be sure not to place rocks in state or national parks and check with your local parks too.

Kindness Rocks Basket

You can also make a Kindness Rocks Basket! Put your rocks into a basket and place it on your front porch, at a community center, or at your school for others to take.

It's also a great thing to do for a party!
