Help us create a Religious Education program that would work WELL for your family!

Consultant (and working UU Director of Religious Education herself) Tracy Beck will be here to survey parents, caregivers and older youth about what they want/need from our Religious Education program, on Thursday and Friday, November 15 & 16.

Maybe it’s gatherings on Wednesday nights, instead of Sunday mornings. Maybe it’s monthly childcare/RE sessions, so parents can have a few hours of adult time. Maybe it is adult RE to give parents the resources to handle the difficult ethical/moral questions of 21st century life… Ms. Beck will also receive feedback about past disappointments & frustrations, and provide a wider “state of RE” so we can learn from other UU congregations.

Both evenings (Thursday 11/15 and Friday 11/16), we will provide a simple dinner and some child-friendly activities, so the adults can talk with Ms. Beck about their desires for robust faith formation. Older children will get a chance to speak, if they wish. Please notify Rev. Chip of any dietary restrictions/needs. These sessions will last from 6:00 to 8:00pm

Friday at lunchtime (11:00-1:30), Ms. Beck will again receive feedback from parents & families, while sharing current challenges and best practices from congregations around the UU-verse.

If you CANNOT attend any of these times, but wish to have a conversation with Tracy Beck, please contact Rev. Chip to help set that up.
