Our religious education ministry is deeply connected to our church’s identity. Our website states, “The ongoing process of religious education is a multi-generational community effort. We work together, sharing our efforts to model justice, integrity, and compassion, and the respect and concern we show for our interconnected world and all its inhabitants. Our goal is a varied and solid curriculum for all ages that is interactive and vibrant, engaging both children and their teachers.” We all long to be part of something bigger than ourselves. That has meaning and offers connection. Being part of this ministry offers opportunities to connect with others, share your talents and learn more about our faith. We currently have over sixty members and friends who serve in this ministry for children and youth not to mention those who give of their time and talents for adult education. That is over 700 hours a year that teachers, assistants and nursery care attendants give to provide vibrant and engaging experiences for our children and youth. It wouldn’t be possible without the love and support of so many.
On May 5th, the religious education committee will be sharing what we are planning for the 2019-2020 year. I hope you will stop by to learn more and connect with this vibrant and deeply meaningful part of our church. Blessed be.
