Program Goal
The goal
of the OUUC religious education program is to provide a safe, welcoming,
loving environment that through lifespan education, grounded in the UU
principles, encourages spiritual and intellectual growth and empowers our
students to live our common ideals and develop their individual faith.
2007-2008 Curriculum
Nursery
Childcare
is available for infants and toddlers in the nursery.
Parents have the option of using childcare for the entire service or
bringing their children to church with the older children.
Parents are also welcome to stay in the nursery & listen to the
church service via radio.
.
Preschool
Basket activities, stories, music
and art projects encourage children to honor themselves, their religious
community, nature and cultures from around the world.
Primary
and Upper Elementary (K-6)
Through activities and stories from Virginia Steel’s
curriculum What is Religion for Others and for Us?, students will
explore many of the ‘big’ religious questions about God, prayer, worship,
and different ways of being religious.
We
plan to offer OWL (Our Whole Lives Sexuality Education) for Jr. High
(grades7-9) throughout the year and grades K-2 in the spring.
Junior
High (grades 7-8)
Students will explore, formulate,
and articulate their attitudes and beliefs through a variety of activities on
topics such as people in the Bible, God, death, and Unitarian Universalism
from How Can I Know What to Believe? by Charlene Brotman and Barbara
Marshman.
Sr.
High (grades 9-12)
Senior High students will use
materials from This I Believe and other resources to develop their
personal understanding of Unitarian Universalism. They will also meet monthly
to plan and organize a spring trip to Boston.
Youth
Group (grades 7-12)
Youth will meet monthly for social action projects,
outside speaker presentations, discussions, outings, and other exciting youth
empowerment events.
