Register Now for Virtual RE

NEW UPDATES We are excited to welcome your family into our virtual religious education program this fall! Please read about the plan for each age group below and, if you haven’t already, click here to fill out the RE Registration Form. 

  • Preschool-5th grade RE (11:15am-12pm most Sundays): Students and their parents will gather 11:15-11:30am for Family Chapel Time. Then Kindergarten-2nd grade and 3rd-5th grade students will break into separate rooms (without parents) for check-in, activities and games. Preschoolers (with their parents) can join the K-2nd grade group.
  • 6th-9th grade RE (two-hour sessions, every other week): We are thrilled to offer a roleplaying experience this fall for these ages. Dungeons and Dragons might be best summed up as “collaborative storytelling.” No experience is necessary.
  • 10th-12th grade RE: The leaders of this age group work with those registered, to create together their schedule and decide on topics to be covered throughout the year.

What happens when we discover that our heroes and heroines are flawed, and we must reckon with their failures? This week’s video reflects on the lives of two Unitarian suffragists: Susan B. Anthony & Francis Ellen Watkins Harper.
