Children & Youth
Our Religious Education
The Religious Education program for children and youth is an integral part of the church. Children and adults join together for the beginning of the worship service in the sanctuary and then go off to classes.
The children are greeted in our beautiful classrooms by their teachers. Each class will have four teachers and two of those teachers will be in the classroom each week. The classes are divided according to the school grade of the children. Parents are expected to volunteer to spend a few Sundays each year in the classroom with their child’s class. Parents also provide the snack.
We try to give each child a well-rounded experience in a holistic way. Every curriculum is taught with a UU perspective. We want our children to have the tools that enable them to make their own free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
This year all of our curricula are developed by the UUA or UUA associated sources.
UUCWC Religious Education Program for Children and Youth 2008-2009
Our program is a cooperative one in which parents are expected to play a part. We encourage you to share your time and talents with us. And how can we help you - as parents? - as a family? Classes, discussion groups, support groups are all possible as we identify the needs.
See the UUCWC Religious Education Prospectus for more information.
Our school year for Religious Education begins in September and continues through mid-June. If you wish to enroll your children in our programs please send a message to dre @ uucwc.org.
Summer Program
UUCWC will again be offering a Sunday summer program for children ages 3 to 12. The multiage class is based on the work of Joseph Cornell and his Flow of Learning (TM) as written in Sharing Nature with Children, first copyrighted in 1979. Information about Cornell and the nature activities are available for review at http://www.sharingnature.com/Direct.html.
