RE Update

Youth: The current teaching block is fully staffed; this block the children are focusing on world religions. Coming up in December we will have our first social justice project followed by the next teaching block, Unitarian Universalism.

Adult: planning is underway for spring program offerings. Some of the courses being offered are Kripalu Couples workshop, Nudging Creativity, and presenting non-fiction works for early readers. For a full listing of courses please see the Adult Religious Education poster in the Parish Hall.

Thoughts from the Director of Religious Ed.

Everyone can make a difference. The next block in the children's Religious Education Program is the service-learning program Pennies for Peace. Founded by Greg Mortensen, co-author of Three Cups of Tea, and inspired by children at Westside Elementary School in River Fall, Wisconsin, the program teaches children that they can make a difference in the lives of children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pennies collected here build schools in these countries, and educating children leads to peace.
