Child/Youth RE Program

Adult RE Program


 

Our Religious Education Program

Our program exposes children and adults to the richness of world religions with extra emphasis on Christianity and Judaism, which offers an understanding of life issues as well as acquainting young people to Unitarian Universalist history and values. Adult Religious Education is offered throughout the year on Sunday afternoons following the worship service and in the evenings during the week. Channing's Children and Youth Religious Education Program is offered primarily on Sunday mornings during the worship service. Our carefully selected curriculum offers opportunities for worship, community-building within the church and beyond, creative arts and self-empowerment.

 

Religious Education in the Order of Service

Sunday morning worship begins with a child or youth lighting the chalice. During the first 15 to 20 minutes of the service, children and youth sit with their families. A "Story for all Ages" is offered during this time, in which children can participate in the service. Following the story, the children and youth leave the service to attend their RE classes. Intergenerational services are held throughout the year, coinciding with specific holidays or special celebrations.
