Religious Education for kids
Children, though natural questioners, are not skeptics, for whom doubt is an end in itself. Children are as open to belief and faith as they are to questioning. They are looking, as we are all looking, for things on which they can depend, values they can faithfully live by. ideas that make sense, things to believe in.

Welcome to our summer program- Flicks and Fairy tales
First the Flicks: For our middle school and high school youth, we will meet in the new building at 11:00.
Course: Popcorn Theology by Michelle Richards
Exploring issues of theology and ethics through film with Unitarian Universalist youth
Discuss:
How the choices we make affect our lives and the lives of others.
How truth and meaning relates to perspective and point of view.
How the right of conscience calls us to do what is right.
How our faith can help us understand our questions, seek answers, and deal with the trials of life.
Now for the Fairy Tales: For our preschool through 5th grade students, we will meet in the main RE room at 11:00.
Course: Fairy Tale Detectives
We will explore universal themes of courage, overcoming obstacles, facing adversity, using your wits, attaining our dreams, etc. through the classic stories of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Through the summer weeks we will hear such stories as Brementown Musicians, Old Sultan, Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Fisherman and His Wife, The Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltzkin, Cinderella, Shoemaker and the Elves, King Grisly Beard, Snow White and Rose-Red, Giant With the Three Golden Hairs, The Straw the coal and the bean, and The Three Spinners. We’ll act out the stories and become detectives who will search for the true meaning that lies within!
At 9:30:
The 9:30 class will continue to be a multi-age group using a variety of stories and activities from the online UUA curriculum Tapestry of Faith. After check-in each week, the students will hear a tale from around the world. We’ll discuss the meaning and work on art projects that reflect our feelings on the subject.
Looking forward to Fall: See what's coming!
Our Nursery is professionally staffed and open from 9:15-12:15 every
