Religious Education Registration, 2023-2024
Important information for families registering for Sunday morning childcare and Religious Education for children and youth:
From September through May, First Universalist Church offers Sunday morning childcare for children ages 6 months to 2 years, and Religious Education classes for preschool through high school. We are home to over 250 families and more than 400 children and youth!
Returning children and youth must be re-registered annually in order to attend classes or childcare on Sunday mornings during the upcoming church year.
Upon choosing to register, we ask that you please make regular Religious Education attendance a family priority. Children and youth who attend regularly build deeper connections and derive the greatest benefits from their lessons and church community. When the same group gathers each week they get to know one another, explore together, grow together, and look forward to being together again. Your family's presence enriches the experience for everyone.
There is no fee for Religious Education or childcare. Programs for children, youth and families are an essential ministry of First Universalist, funded by the annual gifts of the members and friends of the congregation. Upon registering for Religious Education (for children and youth) and Circles/Small Groups (for adults), we ask folks to let us know their annual giving plan, if they haven't already, so we can budget accordingly. Please give generously, as you are able. Your family's registration status and priority are not affected by the amount you give. Those who are unable to make a gift simply indicate that on the registration form. A gift in any amount is appreciated!
We will make every attempt to honor your first choice of service time. In order to ensure a safe, welcoming environment, we have limited space available in each classroom. If classes are full at the time you've requested, your family will be offered spots at the other service time (9 or 11 a.m.) and you may request to be placed on a waiting list for your preferred service time.
The Schedule and Calendars and Class Descriptions pages outline the offerings for each age and grade level.
