Sunday morning religious education for children is congruent with the Sunday Service - 10:30 to 11:45.  Varied activities and experiences introduce children to our religious heritage and a way of living encapsulated in our Unitarian Universalist Principles.

FOR PARENTS:

By far the best service we can provide our youngsters is ample opportunities for their parents and the other adults in their life to be nurtured in religious living.  If you are attending this church in part to help tend to the spiritual life of your child, niece, nephew, or grandchild then you should start with the care of your own spirit.  As you make room in your own life for worship, service, church involvement, and moral inquiry you will model such endeavors to the young people with whom you are intimately connected. 

Attending Sunday morning's services is a great start.  As you become used to the church community you may want to branch out.  Adult education offerings and social events occur throughout the year.  You may also consider becoming a religious education teacher.  Teaching is a wonderful way to grow and learn and to become accustomed to speaking about difficult issues like birth, death, God, and hope with young children.  Adults who become religious education teachers find that they usually benefit more than they sacrifice. 

Another resource we provide to adults is pastoral care with our minister or informally with the Religious Educator (DRE).  You may meet with us to discuss a crisis in your own or your child's life or simply to get advice and guidance.  We would love to talk with you about your role in caring religiously for children.

A CHURCH FOR ALL:

We the member congregations covenant to Affirm and Promote the Inherent Worth and Dignity of Every Person.

This is the first of seven principles around which Unitarian Universalist  congregations gather.  Our commitment to children's programming grows out of this ideal.  This deeply held value also challenges us to make room for the wealth of diversity among our children. We hope to structure worship, fellowship, and service experiences which feed the spirit of all children regardless of temperament, learning style, or physical or cognitive challenges. If you or your child's full participation in this community requires accommodations or special attention please talk to the religious educator or a member of the Religious Education Committee.
