The pandemic had a major impact on how we come together. Our programs for children and youth were on hold for three years. Now that we’re coming together in person again, our primary focus is rebuilding community. As more participants join us, we will add more groups and activities. Maybe you will even help determine what we do next!

Sunday Morning Religious Education for Kids and Youth

Join us at Eastrose every Sunday morning for fun and fellowship in a mixed-age group. Let’s explore our UU faith, learn about ourselves and each other, and grow our spirits. Stories, activities, and snacks are provided!

Registration

If it’s your child’s first time at RE, our Family Ministry Coordinator will provide you with a brief registration form to help us get to know your family, and answer any questions you have. Greeters are also available to help!

Program

Children join the larger congregation in the chapel for the first part of Sunday services. After the Story For All Ages, the congregation sings the children out to the classroom to explore:

• UU identity. We develop our faith through stories and creative activities related to our shared principles.
• Traditions. We light the chalice, voice joys and concerns, and share a snack.
• Fellowship. We build community through structured and unstructured play, with extra opportunities for multi-generational activities.

Children are always welcome to remain in the chapel with their families! Our chapel family space has room for little ones to color, crawl, and play with soft toys during the service.
