Welcome to Religious Education at UUSavannah! 

We offer year-round Sunday programming for children ages 3-18, a nurturing nursery, and a variety of adult enrichment programs. Children’s RE classes are held each Sunday morning at about 11:15, after the congregation sings the children out of the sanctuary. Classes end at 12:30.

Curriculum

Our religious education classes are based on four pillars:  Unitarian Universalism, World Religions, Judeo-Christian Heritage, and Social Justice and Peacemaking.   Each year, we study a different pillar.  The pillar that we are studying for the 2010-2011 church year is our Judeo-Christian Heritage.  The curriculum is Timeless Themes, published by the Unitarian Universalist Association. Each Sunday, the children study a different story from the old or new testament.  In addition to regular Sunday programming, this fall we are proud to offer Our Whole Lives, a sexuality education program, to our 4^th and 5^th grade children.

Service

Our children’s involvement in the life of the church goes beyond Sunday morning.  Once per month, they make sandwiches for Inner City Night Shelter, and three times per year, they participate in Stand for Peace in Johnson Square.  They have also participated in Savannah’s annual Martin Luther King Day parade. 

Fun!

The Mountain, a UU retreat in north Georgia, provides opportunities for our children to meet and bond with UU children and teens across the region.  This fall, we will begin raising funds to help send our children to youth conferences and summer camp at the Mountain. 

Thank you for your interest in the religious education program here at UU Church of Savannah.  We look forward to seeing you and your children on Sunday morning!
