This service and sermon is dedicated to our RE program as it proceeds to try out a bold new vision for scheduling that we are hoping will benefit the children, their teachers and the other adults as well. I will be speaking from the perspective of a parent who raised two children in UU congregations and is very glad I did. I will share with you thoughts on why a liberal religious education of our children is a critical gift in these troublesome times, and some ideas for maximizing its effectiveness that involves us all.
