Lifespan
Religious Education
The Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor is committed
to life-span religious education. We recognize that it takes a life
time to learn and grow into spiritual maturity. Our professional staff
and volunteers provide age appropriate educational programming for
our children and adults. Our educational experiences are designed
to offer learners of all ages the knowledge and tools to support their
learning of Unitarian Universalist principles as well as diverse religious
beliefs and traditions.
We would like to make you aware of our Sunday morning programs which
occur simultaneously with the worship service. We offer classes for
children and youth, PreK through ninth grade, as well as nursery care
for infants and toddlers. During our services everyone starts out
in the sanctuary together to begin worship (if you have children in
need of nursery care, you are welcome to bring them downstairs before
the services begins.) There is a "story for all ages" near
the beginning of our service during which all children are called
to come to the front to sit together for a special story of talk geared
just for them. You are are welcome to accompany your child(ren) to
the front at this time. Following the story, the children will be
dismissed by song to go downstairs to the RE area for their classes.
If you are new or have young children, please feel free to accompany
your child downstairs to see the RE area and meet your child(ren)'s
teachers. If you have not done so already, we ask that you fill out
a registration form for you child so that we have all the appropriate
contact, allergy, and emergency information for our records.
