Age of Reason

Age of Reason is a program for 2nd graders designed to provide children with an opportunity to consider how each of the seven UU Principles apply to their lives.

 

It is intended to help children better understand and, in turn, articulate the beliefs of their faith community, and to create a bridge between home and church.  Age of Reason fosters children’s emerging faith development through the Unitarian Universalist tradition of searching for truth and empowering them to ask questions, and think for themselves. 

 

Some of the topics that we discuss are:

· The mystery of God

· Different points of view

· UU’s have different ideas about God

· God wants fairness

· The Spirit of God is in each one of us

· Our stories about God

Feedback

 

The Children’s Religious Education program is currently coordinated by a part-time, professional Director of Religious Education and implemented by a 6 member Religious Education Committee. This leadership team is made up of members of the congregation who make every effort to be responsive to the needs, wishes and dreams of the children and adults in our congregation. The committee establishes the vision, goals, and policies of the RE program.  We are ALWAYS open and encourage feedback. We believe hearing from the parents and children facilitates a strong program.  (Learn more about the Children’s Religious Education Committee by visiting our Community section.)
