Is a series of programs and resources which nurtures
Through Tapestry of Faith, we offer our children programs that hold them in love, ignite their passion for justice, and satisfy their need to know more deeply the diversity and wholeness of our Unitarian Universalist faith. |

| Classes
begin Sunday, September 18, 2011 and meet most Sundays. Children 3-years and older attend the first part of the Worship Service, most Sundays, and go as a group to Religious Education classes. Occasionally, children and youth will attend all-ages family worship services or engage in fun (usually holiday-related) large group activities instead of meeting with their classes. There is no fee for children to participate. Families of participants are expected to contribute financially to the church and to be open to volunteering in RE. |
