RE is not scheduled on a Sunday when a school holiday falls on the following Monday. Children and youth begin their religious education classes on Sunday morning, at 9:15 am. Our lessons are chosen to complement the monthly theme used in the worship services. We draw from all six of our sources: children&#8217;s natural sense of wonder and awe, Christian and Jewish heritage, world religions, words of prophetic individuals, science and reason, and earth-based religions.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Want to get involved?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Many of our parents and other members of the congregation volunteer as teachers and classroom helpers, and\/or serve on the RE Board.
