Unitarian Universalist religious education programs offer all ages, inspiring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ethical growth \u2013 internalizing enduring values like justice, equity, and compassion, and gaining tools to act on them in everyday life.<\/li>\n<li>Social growth \u2013 connecting with peers and people of all ages on a deeper level. Finding acceptance among people who see beyond the superficial.<\/li>\n<li>Spiritual growth \u2013 feeling a connection with the sacred within, among, and beyond us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Religious education programs include more than classes. On a Sunday you might find the preschoolers singing songs about kindness, the 2nd graders engaging with a story about loss and bereavement, the 5th graders talking with a Muslim couple about Islam, the 7th graders learning about responsibility in a lesson from our progressive sexuality education program, and the high-school youth raising money for the local homeless shelter. Many programs incorporate social justice activities, worship opportunities, service trips, fellowship, and fun.<\/p>\n<p>Our religious educator and minister lead many of our congregations\u2019 lifespan programs. Parents and other members of the congregation often lead them, too. Teaching can be a very fulfilling way to deepen one\u2019s own faith.<\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s religious education programs are typically offered on Sunday mornings, and high school youth and adult programs are usually offered on afternoons or evenings.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to explore these pages and contact our religious educator to get connected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What We Offer Through the Lifespan We provide children, youth, young adults, and adults an opportunity to explore, reflect, and learn in a nurturing spiritual community.
