Latest News from Religious Education
April 2008
Surf’s Up!
April may seem a bit early to start thinking about next year’s religious education program. Heck, we’re still very much in the throes of this year’s program. Because of all the waves of change on the horizon, the Religious Education (RE) Committee and I are getting ready for some gnarly surf.
Come catch a wave with us! Check out our surf-blue brochure on the RE Bulletin Board in the vestry. It’s packed with information about what next year’s Sunday morning RE program is likely to look like during the upcoming Accessibility and Improvements to the Meetinghouse construction project.
The waves of change present opportunities for different kinds of teaching in the RE program during fall 2008 and early winter 2009. Multi-age arts-based experiences of personal creativity and community spirit will start off the year, followed by a slightly different riff on Revels exploration. Perhaps this is the wave that you’ve been longing to ride? If so, please catch it with us!
But if that’s not your wave, keep reading. There will be many different waves to ride next year – there’s bound to be one you’d thrill on.
The brochure should answer some of your questions – and likely will stimulate more. Let’s talk.
Peace,
Louise
Junior Youth Group in April
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be reflecting inwardly as they reach out to the larger world. In late March and early April, the Junior Youth Group will be developing a worship service for themselves about reaching out to those in need. On Sunday, April 13, the group will lead their small group worship. After church, the Junior Youth Fellowship group will make lunches for MainSpring house, deliver the lunches to Brockton, and tour the shelter there. All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are invited to participate.
Worship informs our social justice work. In turn, social justice work informs our worship. Both activities are aspects of a vibrant religious life. Integrating these seemingly separate activities is what religious education is all about.
This moment in religious education brought to you through some very simple coordination between Sue Bollens and Louise Marcoux.
Thank You to…
Karen Z. and Chris J. for participating in the weekend intensive Our Whole Lives comprehensive sexuality education training for K-1-2 and 5-6 teachers.
