Children’s Religious Education
October 20 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
This year, our Children’s RE group is blending our play-based model with Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints, an illustrated collection by Daneen Akers that highlights people from diverse faiths who have stood up for justice and love, even when it meant challenging the status quo.
We’ll learn about inspiring figures like:
- Bayard Rustin
- Fred Rogers
- Valarie Kaur
- Kaitlin Curtice
- Thich Nhat Hanh
- Rumi
- Mary Oliver
And we’ll be adding our own Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist ancestors, including Norbert Čapek and Francis Ellen Watkins Harper.
Each Sunday, elementary school-aged participants will discover one of these holy troublemakers and then explore the week’s themes in our open play spaces, including an art room, contemplation room, make-believe room, game area, nature space, music space, and makerspace.
