Family and Intergenerational RE Programs

A definition of "worship" that some Unitarian Universalists offer is "the honoring of those things that are of worth." Ideas, like the changing seasons, are alive -- they are a courageous act of people loving in spite of their differences -- and thus are worthy of recognition and affirmation. The experiencing of communal worship encourages and inspires us to be in touch with what we value, to remain compassionate with others, to stand before the wonders and mysteries of the universe and to act from our conscience. Our Family and Intergenerational Programs help both children and adults to stay connected to their deepest selves.
Special Sundays
A goal of the RE Program is to provide occasions for our children, of many ages, to share time together with caring adults. Our Special Sundays serve as a vehicle for this to happen. On these Sundays, we engage in special celebrations, social action projects, crafts, drama or worship. They occur 7-8 times per year in place of regular class.
Family Services
On these Sundays, children, youth and parents begin the morning in the Meeting Room, and enjoy the first twenty minutes of the program together with the entire congregation. Nursery and preschool students still meet upstairs during the entire service.
Intergenerational Services
Children (ages four and over), youth and parents enjoy the entire program in the Meeting Room. Nursery and preschool students meet upstairs in their regular class rooms.
