We love our children at UU Middleboro. Our RE program works hard to make children feel welcome, seen and heard. All our programs offer open enrollment. Our Sunday morning RE program occurs during the church service and has open enrollment. We are developing our new outdoor space we share with church, prepping to grow plants and flowers and continuing to explore nature. We do nature walks, crafts, tell stories and share ideas about our local environment, animal habitats and native plants. We consider our role in sustainability.
Registration is rolling throughout the year and is available here: Religious Exploration Registration Form (google.com)
Earth Advocates!
OK Earth Advocates!! This is our in-church RE class for school age children. We are getting back on track and getting outside more as the weather starts to grow warmer! We will be starting our lasagna gardens (compost gardens), feeding our worm farms and planting some seedlings in the month coming up.
Youth Group
We have new goals and new ideas for this upcoming year in 2025. Youth Group is for children 6thgrade and up. We will have a virtual meeting on 2/9/2024. The link is https://meet.google.com/bbk-fwzw-oop.
If our plans work, we will continue to meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. We have been going on outings and helping around church. We are very excited to try working with the Taunton UU church to build some more opportunities to be together in different ways.
Babysitting Available!
Nursery Care continues to be available for babies and toddlers under five years of age each Sunday morning from 10:15 to 11:45. Child care is also offered during other church activities.
Family Worship Services
The children will be upstairs for family worship services once a month. Our next one is 02/16/2025. We keep this service to 45 minutes, with announcements and joys and concerns occurring after the service is complete. The February family service will explore how our values of Justice, Equity, Transformation, Plurality, Interdependence, and Generosity are rooted in Love. There will be storytelling, a Chocolate Strawberry communion, and an intergenerational activity during coffee hour. We will also lift up random acts of kindness we have received or bestowed upon others in the last 30 days.
RE Committee
The RE Committee meets on the 22nd Wednesday of the month at 6pm. In February it will be on 2/12/2025. We meet at church in the Parish Hall in the RE space. Christine Hoyle is the Committee Chair. We are always looking for new volunteers. If you need to join us virtually, please let me know ahead of time and join with this link: https://meet.google.com/tbr-jjec-bsp.
