RE Classes are offered during the 10:30 AM service on Sundays.  Childcare for babies and toddlers only is available in our Nursery during the 9:00 AM Sunday Morning Dialogue.  The Nursery is also available during the 10:30 am Service.

Our Sunday school offers religious learning experiences that provide for maximum interaction among children and their teachers in an informal atmosphere. Our teaching teams consist of four or five adult volunteers who are trained to teach the curriculum.

Parents are encouraged to:
•    bring their children regularly and on time,
•    take an interest in the program,
•    consider ways they might help out,
•    put down roots in their religious community and
•    be responsible for their children's safety before and after the scheduled program.

These are the classes planned for 2012-2013 and a description:

Nursery Infants to 3 years old

Our nursery is staffed by our paid Childcare Coordinator and volunteer caregivers who provide consistent and loving care for our youngest members. Parents, feel free to stay while your child adjusts.

Chalice Children: 3 & 4 years old

This curriculum is based on the premise that children learn best through experience, this program helps nurture spiritual growth, creativity, and a sense of community through imaginative activities and rituals such as rhymes and finger plays.

Creating Home: Kindergarten –1st grade

This program helps children develop a sense of home that is grounded in faith. Together we will ask questions about the purpose and function a home serves for both humans and animals. Children will explore the deep sense of sacredness, the beauty of hospitality and the gift of loving relationships that can be represented in a home.

Faithful Journeys: 2nd-3rd grade

In this program, children embark on a pilgrimage of faith, exploring how Unitarian Universalism translates into life choices and everyday actions.

Toolbox of Faith: 4th-5th grade

Toolbox of Faith invites fourth and fifth grade participants to reflect on the qualities of our Unitarian Universalist faith, such as integrity, courage, and love, as tools they can use in living their lives and building their own faith. Each of the 16 sessions uses a tool as a metaphor for an important quality of our faith such as reflection (symbolized by a mirror), flexibility (duct tape), and justice (a flashlight).

Our Whole Lives (OWL): 4th-5th grade

February 3^rd-March 10^th
