Greetings from our Program Minister

Since my first career as a teacher, I have always had faith in education. So has Unitarian Universalism. We trust people to grow their own belief systems, to make their own ethical decisions, and to discover their own sources of spiritual nurture.

But we don’t make them do it alone. Our Lifespan Religious Education programs provide access to a wealth of stories, metaphor, scripture, and dialogue to help people of all ages with their beliefs, ethics, and spirituality. A quick look through this document gives you an idea of the resources we offer.

Children need not only instruction; but more, they need to have their own minds stimulated so they can learn how to explore the spiritual and physical worlds, formulate questions, and draw their own conclusions. Adolescents need to cross the bridge towards adulthood, but never alone, rather, with mature adult guidance and support. Young adults need to find the gifts they offer to the world, and have them warmly received. And, adults never stop growing, so they need continuing opportunities to learn and even to change – their minds, their hearts, maybe even their lives. We all need to know we are cared for by one another.

Take a look at the variety of classes and learning opportunities. Come, connect, bring your children. Join us in the task of transforming lives to transform the world.

See you in church,
Jonalu Johnstone
Program Minister
