Growth and Learning Program
Our Religious Exploration program is enriched by the talents and attention of many caring adult volunteers. We strive to teach our Unitarian Universalist Principles through modeling, singing, playing games, reading stories, and a wide array creative and exploratory activities. We explore the wisdom found in our Judeo-Christian heritage and other religious traditions and we learn about our unique Unitarian Universalist liberal religious heritage. As a parent, you are invited to participate in RE, to sit in the activities, and to chat with our adult volunteer guides. We know that the more committed and involved parent(s) are in their child/ren’s religious education the more it means to both the child and the parent. Regular attendance allows families to better experiences the rhythms and values of our curriculum, taking home with you the ethical and spiritual lessons home with them to explore more deeply with you.
Participation
Our Children’s Religious Exploration program is one in which every child, parent and many other adult members of the congregation participate. Since the pandemic, like many congregations nationwide, attendance has fluctuated and we're generating news ways to delivery religious exploration to our families. Whatever form it takes, we hope you will engage with our intergenerational programs.
Registration
We ask that all children who attend RE on a regular basis be registered. For your convenience, links to the registration forms are available above on this webpage. If your child has special needs, please indicate them on your registration forms so that we can be as fully inclusive and welcoming as possible.
Sunday Worship Service
Each week our congregation gathers at 10:00 am in the Sanctuary. Some Sundays, children stay with their families for the duration of the service. Other Sundays, after the first 15-20 minutes, following the Message for All Ages, we sing the children out to their Farmhouse classrooms to engage in children's worship and programming with our teacher volunteers. Some of our Sunday services will be intentionally intergenerational, encouraging active participation of adults, youth, and children.
Cost Of The Program
To cover materials and snacks, families are encouraged to support the congregation financially through their pledges in accordance with their resources. Donations are welcome. No family will be turned away over fees.
