Youth Religious Education
YUUTH GROUP
We offer a safe and inclusive environment in which students can further develop their personal values, affirm their authentic self, and explore their connection to the community. Our lessons offer deeper understanding of the world around us, and they promote social action and critical thinking. Past themes have included: Qualities of a Justice Maker; Changing the Climate; Building Bridges: A World Religions Program; and Understanding Racism. This year we’ll further our learning and growth with Serving with Joy & Generosity. Register for classes today.
Some of our activities include:
• Volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank on a regular basis.
• Participating in the United Against Poverty Quack Attack 5K.
• Supporting our LGBTQ+ community by marching in the Pride Parade.
• Attending the Orlando Women’s March and BLM (Black Lives Matter) marches.
• 2017 Civil Rights Road Trip
We meet on the first and third Sunday of the month from 12:30 to 2:00 pm.
