Tapestry is Sunsetting

The UUA is no longer updating Tapestry of Faith programs.


Instructions: On the left is a list of holidays that many people celebrate. On the right is a list of the UU Sources. On the line next to each holiday, write the letter of the Source that has the most to do with the holiday. You can put more than one letter per line if you like. If you think no Source connects to a holiday, leave the line blank.
