Our 2009-10 Religious Education Program

From September to May, our religious education program for children and youth runs concurrently with our Sunday worship service, which starts at 10:30 a.m. Children participate in the first part of the service, leaving for their classrooms after the Message for All Ages.

Our Pre-K through high schoolers are growing and learning through lessons from the Unitarian Universalist Association’s much-anticipated new Tapestry of Faith, a series of curricula and resources for all ages.  Each curriculum nurtures Unitarian Universalist identity, spiritual growth, a transforming faith, and vital communities of justice and love.

The goals of Tapestry of Faith are:

• Ethical development
• Spiritual development
• Development of Unitarian Universalist identity
• Faith development

For our very youngest UU’s, we offer a safe and caring environment in our nursery during Sunday worship.  If you want to keep your little one with you, feel free to listen to our worship service from the cozy second floor foyer area.

Religious Education Leadership

Jan Gartner is our Director of Religious Education (also called DRE; the letters are pronounced individually) and provides staff leadership for the religious education program.

An enthusiastic Religious Education Committee, chaired by Paul Swiatek, ensures smooth program implementation through organizational support and policy formation.  The R.E. Committee meets monthly.

Please let Jan (dre@uuroc.org) or Paul (re_committee@uuroc.org) know if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas about our program!
