Religious Education
Religious Education, along with our worship services, is at the heart of our lives as Unitarian Universalists. In fact, we believe strongly in lifelong learning, so we have developed a very strong program of classes for children and adults.
Your staff and volunteer Religious Education Committee have been hard at work to bring you and your children programs that will engage and connect them more deeply to Unitarian Universalism.
This year, for the first time, we will be offering three classes with age appropriate curriculum; two classes during our Sunday service and one later in the day.
On Sunday mornings, from 11:00 to noon, we will offer nursery/child care for children up to five years of age, and an elementary and middle school aged class taught by local science teachers. This year’s theme is “the interdependent web of life” and three times a month, the children will be studying science and values, through the use of hands-on, and engaging projects.
The teens meet on the first and third Sunday afternoons from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and are using a curriculum called “Popcorn Theology”. The teens and their advisors watch movies and then discuss the values that the movies present.

Lifelong learning, especially where our youth are concerned, is a cooperative venture, so parents are encouraged to help out in their children’s classes during the church year. Children will need to be registered for their classes. For a registration form or for further information, please call me at 294-2759.
