This year, our Children’s Religious Education program is using the Soul Matters Religious Education (RE) Packets, a flexible and engaging curriculum designed for Unitarian Universalist congregations.
Each month (September–June), we’ll explore a new theme filled with:
Meaningful stories from diverse voices and traditions
Hands-on games, crafts, and activities
Embodied chalice lightings and extinguishings
Videos, experiential learning, and creative projects
Rather than rigid, step-by-step lesson plans, the curriculum offers a “building block” approach. This gives us the flexibility to choose from a wide variety of stories, games, and activities that best fit our children and church culture.
The curriculum is intentionally created with anti-racist, anti-oppression, and multicultural (ARAOMC) perspectives woven throughout, ensuring that our children learn in ways that reflect our UU values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Our One-Room Schoolhouse is a place where kids learn, play, and grow together, rooted in our monthly themes.
1st Sunday of the Month: Multigenerational Service Sundays
On the first Sunday of the month, children stay in the service with their parents for an inter-active multigenerational service. These services are designed for multiple age ranges. The Wiggle Room will be available, if needed, with parent supervision required.
Spring Semester Dates: Jan 4, Feb 1, Mar 1, Apr 5, May 3
