All are Welcome

Everyone is welcome in our church school. Religious Education is an ongoing process for all ages.

Our principles are easy to teach: liberty, peace and justice in our world.

We hope these principles will be the foundation for our youth to grow on and adapt to their wider community.

Parent Partnership

We recognize that parents are the primary religious educators for their children. We support parents by offering a strong religious education program for children, adults and families.

We ask that you support your children by bringing them to church school as often and as consistently as possible for your family. Children learn better and form closer ties with their peers when they are "regulars".

Visit our classrooms and introduce yourself to our youth. Ask questions. Talk about our faith during the week.

Please contact our Director of Religious Education, Regan Batuello, with any questions or concerns about our RE programs.

Religious Education News

Greetings from the basement! Well, it’s a full time. For some, this mid-winter, short days-long nights thing works really well. It gives us the opportunity to read and catch up on things that we didn’t get to in all the hullaballoo of the holidays. For others, it’s just cold and dark and grim. I have only one remedy for that—let’s huddle together for warmth! One great opportunity is the annual Board Game Sleepover on Friday, February 26 (keep breathing—only the kids sleep over). Bring your favorite game (or not—we always have plenty) and play games with each other and the kids. It’s always a lot of fun (that’s why we keep doing it) and traditionally it’s semi-poorly attended by our adult population… What if you made an exception this year and joined us in the spirit of cuddling up with our slightly sticky kids?

So stay warm. Reach out if you’re in trouble. Or even if you’re not. This is the season that it’s even more important than ever that we look out for one another.

Love,

Regan
