Strengthening Unitarian Universalist identity, engaging in social action, and using our UU Principles as a guide to help us make important life choices is the focus of our Religious Education (RE) Program. In both children and youth classes/meetings, participants engage in open-minded conversations with the goal of learning to respect and to accept others' opinions when they differ from their own.
The success of the RE program depends on a reliable group of enthusiastic volunteers who form lasting relationships with participants of all ages. Committee members, teachers, and assistants are parents, non-parents, church members, and friends. All families with children or youth registered in our RE classes are asked to volunteer in the RE program as RE committee members, teachers or special project helpers. The program is free of charge because of the vital support of all volunteers.

Q. Will I have to pay for RE program?
No, however we do require that at least one adult from each family unit volunteer during the year to assist in RE program to allow LCUUC to continue to offer RE classes at no cost to our members and visitors. Q. How will I know what will be taught each Sunday? See the current year Curriculum Descriptions or speak the Director of Religious Education, Chris Rollins. Q. Are there other parents I can talk with to find out their experience? The DRE will be happy to help you connect with other parents with kids in the program. Q. Does my child have to Zoom every Sunday? Consistent attendance helps children build on previous experiences and develop rapport with classmates and teachers. Because of this, we ask that families commit to attending their registered RE session on a bi-weekly basis. |
