The goal of the OUUC religious education program is to provide a safe, welcoming, loving environment that through lifespan education, grounded in the UU principles, encourages spiritual and intellectual growth and empowers our students to live our common ideals and develop their individual faith.
Religious Education Programming 2011-2012 The Director of Religious Education, along with volunteer lay leaders, lead an energetic worship experience for all ages with songs, stories, worship elements, and movement. Services for the 2011-2012 focus on the Nine Pillars of Character and Spiritual Development:
The children and youth of Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Congregation begin each Sunday morning in the Sanctuary with the larger congregation for the first fifteen minutes of the service. Upon dismissal to their own Children's Chapel, they follow their own age-appropriate Order of Service. A collection is taken each week and all are invited to share the joys and concerns in their lives. Children are to dress comfortably and be ready to engage in a creative and fun-filled experience. Childcare is provided for children aged infant to four years old.Bethany Ward - Director of Religious Education dre@olmsteduu.org Read about our program on our blog at: http://ouucre.blogspot.com/ Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/OUUCRE OUUC RE Calendar August 28th: Ingathering.
