Religious Education for Children

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northern Westchester! We are so glad you have found your way to our Web site. Ours is an active, caring faith community, one that greatly values children. In fact, offering an opportunity for spiritual growth to young people is central to the mission of this congregation. Many of our members have come to us seeking religious education for their family. Perhaps you have, too.

We offer age-appropriate Religious Education classes from September to May, taking a break in December for the holidays. Our classes are designed to introduce children to Unitarian Universalism, other world religions, and concepts of peace and social justice that are central to the UU faith tradition.

The Religious Education calendar, available from the Fellowship, indicates scheduled "teaching Sundays," on which classes are conducted, as well as Sundays on which children will participate in special activities. You and your children are welcome to visit and participate in the children's activities at any time.

The cooperative spirit is strong in our congregation, and much of what happens at our Fellowship is done through the work of volunteers. We believe that volunteering is one of the best ways to become involved in the life of the community. We also know that, as a new member of our community, you need some time to get your feet wet!

We hope that you will be able to participate in our Religious Education program, but rest assured you will only be asked to help in small, manageable ways for some time to come. We respect your need to deepen your faith, to get to know us, and to have us get to know you.

Again, on behalf of our entire religious education program, we welcome you to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northern Westchester, and wish you well on your spiritual journey.
