Register Your Child/Youth for 2025-2026 RE
When are classes held?
Our Elementary classes are held on Sundays, September through June, concurrent with the Worship service. We begin in the Sanctuary with the congregation where children engage in the service with our church community. Following a brief “Time for Wonder” portion of the service, where the children are invited to gather around the chalice, the congregation sings everyone off to the classroom wing where fun, learning and spiritual exploration awaits! Parents and caregivers are welcome to sit in on the classes at any time with their children especially as they adjust to the new environment.
What does the curriculum include?
We offer experiential learning opportunities for our children Preschool (age 3-4), Kindergarten, and 1st-5th graders. One Sunday each month we explore the monthly all-church theme through our Soul Matters curriculum, then other Sundays we work on service projects, learn peaceful practices, and engage with the monthly theme through activity and learning stations. Here is a link to the complete schedule planned for the 2025-2026 year and the curriculum for the First Sunday monthly theme.

Volunteers are the cornerstone of our Religious Education programs here at North Parish and there are many ways you can share yourself with our children. One of the best ways to get involved is to help teach a class session. There are ongoing and limited ways to be involved.
Ways to volunteer might include:
- Sharing a special interest with the kids, such as nature, art, music, etc.
- Leading a community service project
- Sharing your skill as a performer or storyteller in our Spirit Play program
