Beverly Unitarian Church

This Sunday in Religious Education:

•    We have an exciting day planned for Sunday, February 5. It’s the annual Eastern Traditions/Chinese New Year RE Service. Don’t miss the Dragon, ribbon dance and much more! Gung Hay Fat Choy!

•    On February 12, the older group will be taking a trip to the Buddhist Temple of Chicago in Lemont, IL. The group will be leaving the church at 9:45 am and returning around 12:30 to 1:00 pm. Send questions to Amanda at .

•    The remaining Sundays in February we will be focusing on Eastern Lands. Traditions, beliefs, and achieving inner peace are all on the agenda!

•    We are looking for volunteer teachers and helpers. It’s guaranteed fun! If you are interested in shadowing a class to test the waters, contact Amanda at for the calendar of upcoming events.

The children’s program at Beverly Unitarian Church teaches preschool through eighth graders about what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist, including respect for the worth and dignity of all people and the interdependant web of life.  A brochure about our religious education program is available to download on this page.

The morning begins at 10:30 in the church sanctuary where children attend the beginning of the worship service with their families.  Typically, a Time for All Ages before the congregation sings a round of Go Now in Peace as the children leave for their classes in the school building adjacent to the church sanctuary.  Parents are asked to pick up their children at 11:45.

Our nursery is available for infants, toddlers and preschoolers from 10:20 until 11:45.  Our sitter, Ms. Joanne Marsh, is a retired school teacher who supervises play time.  We soon will add a mini-class of 15 minutes for pre-schoolers, followed by free play.

The Beverly UU Religious Education students learned all about butterflies, pickles, prayer rugs, laugher and Tangrams this summer! The Sunday Morning Summer Camp Kids send their thanks to all of our leaders for sharing their knowledge, talents and summer Sundays with us: Pat Haynes, Clair Karcher, Amanda Price (volunteer), Gretchen Bernard, Troy Lair, and Char Lichtenfeld. The BUC kids laughed, learned, and played.

With great appreciation,

Char Lichtenfeld, UU Trustee
