Religious Education
Our Religious Education (R.E.) program is an active and integral part of our ministry which represents a vital element of church life for many of our families. The Director of Religious Education (D.R.E.) works in partnership with the Religious Education Committee and parent volunteers/advisers to create a nurturing, safe and affirming environment that fosters personal growth and instills Unitarian Universalist values in our children.
Most Sundays, children meet in a multi-age group downstairs for an opening worship led by our Director of Religious Education, The children then go to their age-related class. On selected Sundays, the children will come to the sanctuary with their parents/guardians and stay through a “Story for all Ages,” then proceed to go downstairs for class. Class time is from 10:15 a.m. to the end of the service. On any fifth Sunday of the month, the children remain upstairs for an inter-generational service.
For more information about our R.E. program, see our bulletin R.E. brochure; view this website; read the D.R.E. column in the church QUILT newsletter; or talk to any member of the R.E. Committee (whose names are listed in the monthly QUILT newsletter).
Parents of children participating for the first time will be asked to fill out a guest form with contact information, allergies, etc. Parents whose children have been attending classes three times or more will be asked to fill out a Registration Form to provide more detailed contact information and other information.
The Religious Education Program at Bradford is a cooperative venture. The R.E. Committee invites your participation and input.
We encourage parents to enjoy the coffee hour after the church service before picking up their children downstairs.
