At the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, our Religious Education programs are designed to nurture the whole person. We cultivate a love of learning that empowers individuals of all ages to explore their beliefs and values. Our classrooms are open forums where critical thinking is encouraged, and questions are celebrated. We believe in fostering empathy and understanding by delving into diverse cultures and religions, promoting inclusivity and acceptance.
But it’s not all about individual growth. Our programs are built on the idea that we learn best together. We create a welcoming and supportive community where friendships blossom, and a sense of belonging is nurtured. Through service projects and social justice initiatives, we inspire young minds to become active participants in creating a more just and equitable world. Whether you’re seeking spiritual exploration, intellectual engagement, or simply a place to connect with like-minded individuals, our Religious Education programs offer a warm welcome and a chance to embark on a meaningful journey together.

It’s almost Easter at the Fellowship! A few of us recently realized that no one had signed up to plan the Easter celebration, so we’re doing a low-key celebration with Easter snacks, a laid-back egg hunt, and treats and prizes. BUT, we still can’t make that happen without donations and volunteers! For the Easter snacks
The Children’s Faith Formation Team’s Planning Retreat on April 5th focused on goal setting for the coming year. Desired outcomes for children in RE included community, safety, and learning about faith and values. Growing edges, like a clearer long-term plan and teacher spiritual care, were also identified. Age-based goals and a popular RE schedule were determined. Task forces were formed to address growing edges and achieve goals within the chosen schedule.
