Are you passionate about spiritual growth, building community, and lifelong learning? Do you enjoy guiding discussions, sharing creative practices, or exploring meaningful themes? If so, we invite you to consider leading or co-leading a class or small group as part of our Adult Religious Education (ARE) Program for the 2025–2026 year!
This year’s ARE offerings are designed to be dynamic, inclusive, and engaging, with options for both monthly Sunday morning and weeknight classes — providing flexibility for both participants and facilitators.
Class Facilitators Needed
We’re looking for volunteers to help lead the following rotating class series:
🖌 Creativity Matters
Use hands-on creative practices to explore spiritual themes. This class is perfect for those who love art, music, movement, or crafting as forms of expression and reflection. No artistic experience necessary—just a willingness to guide and inspire!
✍️ UU Writers
Facilitate writing-based reflection using prompts tied to monthly Soul Matters themes. Ideal for those who enjoy journaling, storytelling, or poetry, and want to help others uncover their inner voice.
🧘 Practice Matters
Guide a small group through spiritual practices from various traditions—such as meditation, prayer, chanting, or movement. You don’t need to be an expert, just willing to explore and practice alongside others.
Training, support, and materials will be provided. These classes are designed to be approachable for lay leaders with a heart for community and curiosity.
Small Group Leaders Needed
We are also recruiting facilitators for our Soul Matters Small Groups, which meet twice monthly at times chosen by each group. These small groups offer an opportunity to engage deeply with spiritual themes through personal sharing, deep listening, and mutual support.
We will also host a monthly Sunday drop-in group, and we’re looking for leaders to help facilitate these larger, one-time conversations.
Why Lead?
Leading a class or small group is a powerful way to grow in your own spiritual life, deepen your connection to the Fellowship, and create space for others to explore meaning, purpose, and community.
Whether you’re a seasoned facilitator or simply someone with a passion for connection and learning, we’d love to hear from you.
Interested in volunteering?
Join us for a Zoom meeting on Tuesday, August 27 at 7:30 PM to learn more and connect with others interested in adult faith development.
Or reach out to our Director of Lifespan Religious Education, Nick Wallwork if you’re ready to raise your hand!
Together, we can make this year’s Adult Religious Education program one of deep connection, creativity, and spiritual growth.
