Religious Exploration 2026-2027

Neighboring Religious Communities (All Ages) WHAT THIS COURSE IS ABOUT We will visit religious communities near our congregation. We begin with another Unitarian Universalist congregation, then visit communities whose beliefs, rituals, and practices may be less familiar to us. The goal is respectful learning — not agreement.“The most important thing for us Unitarian Universalists is not belief or ritual — the most important thing for us is making the world a better place.”

Teach Your Children Well

October 2026 – May 2027

This year, our Religious Education children and youth will take part in “Teach Your Children Well”, a program inspired by Marilyn vos Savant’s book Growing Up. Throughout the year, we’ll explore an exciting idea: some of our greatest teachers are already right here in our own community!

We are inviting members and friends of UUYO to share their knowledge, expertise, talents, skills, and passions with our children and youth. Do you garden, bake, paint, fix things, play an instrument, study history, understand science, practice a craft, know about another culture—or simply have something you love and would enjoy sharing? We’d love to hear from you!

Each session will give our young people an opportunity to learn something new while getting to know the remarkable people who make up our church community.

Interested in leading a session? Contact Kathleen at DRE@UUYO.org.

Come share what you know—and help our children discover how much there is to learn! Find Out more Here.
