| Our
Religious Education is based on the seven UU principles (see the
condensed versions below). A typical "Sunday school" session is like a
large family's living room. Discussions include viewpoints and
"lessons" that apply to each person's age and
readiness level. In the process, we are learning to take turns, to talk
one person at a time, and to respect the age and perception of each
person.
Programs
Early Childhood
Toddlers – Pre-Kindergarten aged children will enjoy learning about the
importance of self, family and our UU principles.
Elementary: K-4th Grades
The elementary program seeks to expand self-awareness, spirituality, and
religious identity by exploring the UU Principles.
Youth: 5th Grade and Up
The youth program builds on the UU principles and encourages the
incorporation of the Principles into their lives.
We try to make each session independent, so coming to one Sunday doesn't
depend on your having come to the previous week's RE session.
