Religious Education For Children

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.  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 story is told 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. 
  • Our Elementary Group (Grades 1-4) this year uses the curriculum Moral tales:  A Tapestry of Faith.  Lessons provide children with the spiritual and ethical tools they  need to make choices and take actions reflective of their Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values. 
  • Our Intermediate Group (Grades 5-8) this year uses the curriculum Amazing Grace:  Exploring Right and Wrong.  A Tapestry of Faith Program.   Lessons help our children understand right and wrong as they come to recognize and depend on their Unitarian Universalist identity and resources. 
  • Our High School Youth Group meets with their adult group leader after coffee hour on an irregular calendar.  The group has access to several curricula, including Articulating Your UU Faith, The Teen Guide to Global Action, and the Youth Group Handbook.  Our youth participate in regional activities sponsored through the district Unitarian Universalist Association.

Haiti Service Project - Help us fill boxes for kids! The intermediate church school class has a friend, Susanna, who is a nurse serving onboard the United States hospital ship Comfort. The ship’s staff is treating injured Haitian children. These children have nothing. The church school class is filling and shipping boxes to Susanna to distribute needed clothes and supplies to these needy patients. Items should be for children from newborn through 17 years old. Suggested items include underwear, toothpaste and toothbrushes, socks, t-shirts, shorts, shoes, small toys, and coloring supplies. Not all items need to be new; gently used clothing is fine. For more information, see any of our intermediate students or Char Lichtenfeld. When we fill a box, we will mail it and fill another. Thank you for your participation.
