Religious Education Program for Children and Youth
The
Religious Education Program is designed to encourage our children to
become religious searchers within the framework of a loving and
supportive community. The goal is to guide them toward a faith that
gives meaning and perspective to their lives and that carries with it a
deep concern for all of creation.
Childcare is available in the Parish House for infants and toddlers, 9-10:30 for
the 9:15 service, 10:45-12:15 for the 11:00 service. First graders and older
children attend the first fifteen minutes of the service with their parents, and
are then escorted to class by their teachers. In addition, for those in grades 7 and 8, the Junior
Youth Group meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month from
5:30 to 7:00 pm.
For those
in grades 9 through 12, the Senior Youth Group meets on Sunday evenings
from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.
First Parish strives to assure that all who come
into our community have the opportunity to truly participate in the
life of the parish. For those with a disability, fully belonging to the
church may require a little more support and assistance. The goal of
the Belonging
is a Religious Experience (BRE) committee is to provide this
assistance to children with a disability and their families, so that
they may fully participate in the life of the church and feel that they
truly belong.
