Class Outline



Our Religious Education (RE) Program provides a safe and fun environment where our children can develop their spiritual identities, learn and put into practice Unitarian Universalist principles, and become part of our religious community.

Our Sunday children’s classes at NHF seeks to offer a nurturing and creative program with age-appropriate curricula, by emphasizing Unitarian Universalist principles and history, as well as other world religions and our Judeo-Christian heritage. Because our program is fully supported by the congregation in spirit and substance,  there is no fee to parents.

This year children and youth will be divided into 6 class groupings. For complete information about the curricula for each group, please visit our CLASS OUTLINE page.

Chalice Camp 2010!
Northern Hills Fellowship will be hosting its second annual "Chalice Camp" this summer. This camp for children (ages 3 to 10) will run from July 19 to July 22. Our program this year will center on evolution and how it is tied into the responsible search for truth and meaning and the interdependent web of life. Chalice Camp will run each day from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Cost will be $30 per child for all four days. For more information, see the CHALICE CAMP page

 

Intergenerational Services
Occasionally, the Sunday morning service is designated to be intergenerational. During these services, childcare will be available in the nursery. All other children will participate in the service with their friends and families.

Children’s Services
These services will give our children the opportunity to worship together at their level. Check the RE Calendar for dates. Interested in helping, contact Brenda Bene.


Child Dedication Ceremony
The Unitarian Universalist Child Dedication Ceremony offers parents the opportunity to present their child to the congregation. The child is welcomed into our religious community and the community publicly affirms the responsibility of the parents and the congregation to help the child grow in love, truth, justice, and peace. Please talk to our Minister or our DCRE if you are interested in having a dedication service for your child.


Children’s Religious Education Committee
The CRE Committee is a group of hard-working and caring individuals who help formulate the goals and plans of our program. New members are always welcome. Current members include Mary Lou Aufmann Amy Bryce, Laura Joppru, Jennifer Mueller, Marti Spiess, and Margie Wils
on.

Opportunities to Help
Our CRE program is a cooperative, volunteer venture. All adults in the congregation are strongly encouraged to help. There are many opportunities for short or long term involvement, including teaching, being a substitute teacher or a teacher’s helper, or helping with special events and projects. Only with your help are these things possible. Most adults find their involvement with the RE program to be enjoyable, stimulating, and spiritually rewarding. Please contact Brenda Bene, Director of Religious Education, to explore ways you can help.
