Passing Along Our Values

May Memorial offers a full range of religious education worship and Sunday-morning programs for children and teens, as well as a variety of adult education opportunities.

May Memorial’s youth education programs are led by teams of volunteers from the congregation under the supervision of Religious Education Director Jennifer Hamlin-Navias and Interim Minister John Marsh. We call our program UniQuest. The guides for children’s worship and morning programs are members of the congregation, who volunteer under the leadership of Religious Education Director Jennifer Hamlin-Navias. Two volunteers guide each RE class, grouped by age and theme: Natural Wonders (Pre-K, K), Earthlings (grades 1-2), Webwalkers (grades 3-4), Faith Friends (grades 5-6). The Coming of Age group (grades 7-9), has more guides.

May Memorial offers a UUA-approved curriculum on sexuality to adolescents, though not every year.

A wide variety of growth opportunities

Led by volunteer guides from the congregation, children will engage in different activities that will encourage their spiritual growth. Time for a weekly sharing of joys and sorrows and sharing a “feast” is included.

Most groups will rotate through a different room each week. These include: art studio, theater, nature center/outdoors, chapel/movement, gym. Our aim is to support natural curiosity and depth of discovery through various learning modalities. What will I create in the world? How will we make something together? (art studio) What role will I play? How will we act together? (theater) What does my body tell me about the world and its mystery (chapel-yoga, gym-movement) What is my part in the interdependent web of life? (nature room)

Groups run according to the demographics of our population of children. Some ages are combined, some are not.
