Religious Education (RE) is for all ages
Our Religious Education programming reflects the values of Unitarian Universalism. Our goal is to support children as they become kind, fair-minded, caring and strong enough to side with justice and love. We encourage questioning as we nurture progressive moral values that will continue to shape and support our children as they grow.
Classes start Sunday, September 7th!
Spirit Play
Ages 4 - 6
Spirit Play is a Unitarian Universalist program of religious education that evolved from a long line of Montessori-based religious education programming including Sofia Cavalletti’s Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Jerome Berryman’s Godly Play™, and Joyce Zaugg’s The Children’s Hour. It is based on story and ritual, play and creativity. Spirit Play gives children the tools to make meaning of their lives within the container of Unitarian Universalism.
Avatar The Last Airbender
Ages 7 - 11
This year we are introducing an innovative new curriculum around the story of Avatar The Last Airbender. This exciting series appeals to our youth as we examine themes related to our UU values. We will show one of the videos per week followed by a series of questions and fun activities that examine values presented in the show.
OWL – Our Whole Lives
Ages 12 - 15
Honest, accurate information about sexuality changes lives. It dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, improves decision making, and has the potential to save lives. For these reasons and more, we are proud to offer Our Whole Lives (OWL), an age-appropriate and comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula for use in both secular settings and faith communities.
Coming of Age
Ages 14 - 16
Unitarian Universalist teenagers usually join their congregations with a special "Coming of Age" ceremony. This ceremony is often preceded by a year-long curriculum helping them to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and articulate their own beliefs. The Coming of Age ceremony usually features the youth reading their statements of personal belief (credo statements) to the congregation.
Youth Group
Ages 11 - 18
Our youth meet twice a month in classroom 2 or explore the history and culture of our area. Please check with the youth leader for schedule of meetings and locations
