Lifespan Religious Education for Children
At Wy'east Unitarian Universalist Congregation, we seek to nurture the
ethical and spiritual development in our children and youth so they
can grow to be adults who respect themselves, others, and the world
that they live in.
Our children and youth are so important to our Wy'east community. Parents at Wy'east often talk about how wonderful it is to see the children grow up in a community that is small enough to know and appreciate each child.
Every Sunday, children start the worship with the adults. After the first fifteen minutes or so, we sing the children to their classes. Parents visiting for the first time are welcome to join their children until everyone is comfortable, or children can stay in the worship service with their parents. The nursery is available to children under three for the entire worship service.
Many times throughout the year we have services where the children
worship with us. Some of these services are: Water Communion, Bread
Sunday, Celebration of Light, Christmas Eve, Palm Sunday, Earth Day
and The Milestones Service.
Ours is a cooperative program and needs the involvement of many adults to make our programs possible. At the time of registration, you will be asked to support and assist our efforts through a commitment of time.
There are small classes available for all age groups from the nursery through high school. Please contact our Director of Religious Education, at (503) 777-3704 to register for children and youth programs and with any questions about religious education at Wy'east.
