From the minister...
Welcome to the world of religious growth and learning at Old Ship!
At Old Ship we think of religious education as lifelong. And though these pages focus on classes and programs, we also think of religious education as not simply one of many activities here at Old Ship, but rather as a dimension of just about everything we do. So we hope that our "religious growth and learning" spills out of the classroom, even out of the Parish House or Meeting House into the lives we share. May everyone at Old Ship, whatever their age, find their place in our community of teaching and learning, of worshiping and serving.
Rev. Ken Read-Brown, minister
From the Director of Religious Education...
The Old Ship Religious Education program creates a meaningful community that values individuals and awakens their sense of wonder, reverence, and self-awareness through fellowship, worship, education, and service.
In fulfillment of this mission, the R.E. program:
- Welcomes and accepts all children and Youth, and values the gifts they bring and the people they are.
- Builds community by celebrating life’s journey, milestones and intergenerational connections.
- Nurtures spiritual growth and development by fostering the free and reasonable search for (life) meaning and individual truth.
- Awakens, through ritual, word, song, art and movement, the mystery of living, the reverence for and awe of life.
- Fosters our children’s U.U. identity by teaching them about our principles and sources, heritage, and traditions.
- Promotes commitment to justice and ecological sustainability in the world through education, service and social action.
Beverly Tricco, Director of Religious Education
