As Religious Exploration classes enter the month of May, our elementary class will be learning about the UU value of Pluralism, exploring how we can honor many beliefs, perspectives, and ways of being in the world. Through stories, activities, and discussion, they will learn how our differences can help us grow stronger together. Our middle school class will be learning about the important themes of courage and empathy, and how these qualities help us lead with kindness and confidence.
On May 10th, we will also take time to appreciate our wonderful RE teachers for their dedication and care in helping our future leaders grow. That same day, the elementary class will enjoy a special guest who will bring a fun lesson on dinosaurs and their fossils!
Our Religious Education Program for children and youth, is facilitated by Danielle Lewis, our Director of Religious Education, and a team of dedicated classroom leaders. Our Religious Education Program for children and youth takes place in our classrooms and Nursery. Children and adults begin worship together in the Sanctuary at 10:30am. After the Time for All Ages element of our Sunday Service, the children and their teachers move on to the classrooms for their activities, for the remainder of the Worship time.
