Here's what's happening with Religious Education this Sunday,
March 7, 2010. Join us and have some fun!
* * Updated every Wednesday * *
Nursery (0-3 yrs) - Our Nursery Care Attendant Judy and volunteer Ellen will be spending time with our littlest UUs.
Pre-k Class - "Creating Home" This session introduces children to the idea of learning from nature as they observe nature and transfer the knowledge they gain to their own family homes and their shared faith home.
K-2nd grade class - "Moral Tales" This session introduces the concept of welcoming everyone without judgment.
3rd-5th grade class - "Windows and Mirrors" This session helps children know they need not be "perfect" to be loved, respected, and appreciated for their own unique gifts.
Youth (6th-12th grade) - "Messages in Music" In this session, our youth will identify direct experiences of transcending mystery and wonder.
Playground supervisors are needed (12-12:30)! Help keep the peace on the playground so everyone has fun and stays safe!
We also need volunteers to help staff the RE sign-in table in the Octagon Lobby from 10:15-10:30 before the service.
I hope to see everyone on Sunday with a smile!

Below is listed our Fall Program
Welcome to the religious education program for children and youth of the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater. The Unitarian Universalist approach is unique, in that it focuses on human and spiritual values rather than a creed, providing thoughtful assistance as each person develops an individual concept of his or her place in the world. Together, we provide a community where children, youth, and adults can explore the great religious questions of humanity.
Each curriculum has a special focus, but there are recurring themes throughout - our Jewish and Christian heritage, values, emotions, world religions, concerns of social justice, the circle of life, and many more.
We share the responsibility for religious education. Our dedicated staff and volunteers - those without children in the program, and parents - all bring their diverse backgrounds and life experiences to enrich the Sunday morning experience. We hope you will choose to be involved, sharing your particular interests. Opportunities include a wide range of time commitment - five minutes, an hour, or several Sunday mornings - so consider how you want to participate, and let us know!
Here is what we have planned for this coming year:

Fall Program begins September 13, 2009 at 10:30 am
Pre-K thru 5th grade: 'Tapestry of Faith'
A new set of Unitarian Universalist Lifespan Curricula. These have been developed with extensive denomination-wide focus groups to nurture UU identity, spiritual growth, a transforming faith, and vital communities of justice and love. We will use this curricula for pre-K through 5th grade.
Youth 6th grade and up: 'Messages in Music'
Messages in Music introduces youth to the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism and the sources from which they evolved in our religious history. This program helps youth to understand and incorporate into their lives the Principles of Unitarian Universalism. Using contemporary music as a focus, youth learn to incorporate and express Unitarian Universalist values in their lives.
