RE Notes

Fall Kick Off Plans

We are so excited to be kicking off another year in religious education at People’s Church!

Our volunteers have been busy preparing curriculum and participating in trainings to prepare for leading religious education this year.

Our K-6th graders will be exploring bible stories to deepen understanding our of Jewish and Christian Heritage in a curriculum entitled: Scriptures Through a UU Lens: Cultivating Understanding and Literacy for Today’s World .

Our 7th & 8th graders will engage in “Creating the World in Which We Wish” to Live which includes a combination of lessons from Mosaic Anti-Racism curriculum with Soul Matters curriculum on our UU Values.

Our 9-12th graders will embark on a new adventure with a RPG or Role Playing game based on Deeper Joy, a new UUA curriculum designed to build deeper covenantal community and connections with one another, our values and our UU faith.

Back by popular demand are both monthly Specialty classes and AWE Labs. The first Sunday of most months the K-6th graders get to choose which fun activity in which they want to participate. The fourth Sunday of most months the K-6th graders can rotate at their own pace through our interactive Adventure, Wonder & Exploration Labs filled with hands on activities to encourage mindfulness and presence moment presence.

Our “Cool Your Jets’ sensory room is also open for anyone who may need a few moments of quiet and calm. We can’t wait to see you all soon!

Blessed Be, Diane Melvin Religious Education Director
