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 2011-2012 and a description:

Nursery Infants - 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.

Celebrating Me and My World: 3 & 4 years old

This curriculum begins by celebrating the wondrous qualities of the children and expands outward to the things and people around them. It provides preschoolers with experiences and opportunities to grow in their sense of trust and caring and to develop their self-identity and their sense of connectedness with all life.

Picture Book UU: Kindergarten –1st grade

This curriculum teaches participants about love, reason, tolerance and good works through story and picture books. This is a good introduction our faith and the values that it imparts.

Stepping Stones: 2nd-3rd grade

How did the world begin? What is my place in it? What is right? What is wrong? These questions can last a lifetime—and 2nd and 3rd graders are at just the right stage in faith development to begin asking them. During this Stepping Stone Year, the children will begin finding their own answers to such questions. They will be introduced to the basic principles of Unitarian Universalism. This curriculum leads to a special recognition ceremony.

Dr. Seuss and UU: 4th-5th grade

Stories have been used in Unitarian Universalist religious education material for generations. Participants will hear the fun and engaging stories of Dr. Seuss and reflect on their meaning and how they relate to our UU values and principles.

Amazing Grace/Riddle and Mystery: 6th-7th grade

This program guides participants through ways to determine right from wrong with a Unitarian Universalist perspective and to act on their new understandings.
