Parents Role in UU Midcoast Religious Exploration
 Did you know that as a parent you are your child's primary religious educator? The RE Program is here to help you and the many families of our church community in this venture. Together, we can nurture our children and youth and support them on their spiritual journeys. While we share in this important responsibility, there are specific things you can do to help, such as:
-
Come to church regularly. Doing so sends the message to your child that you value being part of a church community and helps your child develop a sense of belonging that will enhance her/his RE experience.
-
Volunteer as a teacher, youth group leader or assistant. Our program depends on many volunteers to make it work. Check with RE coordinator to find out how you can help.
-
Learn about your child's RE experience. Serve as an assistant in your child's class, volunteer to chaperone at a youth con or help with a special project - these are great ways to learn about the many wonderful things happening in RE!
-
Stay informed. There is always a lot going on in RE. For periodic updates, read the RE column in our monthly church newsletter or check out the RE bulletin board.
-
Keep us informed. Speak to the RE coordinator or your child's teacher(s) about any issues in your child's or family's life that will help us better relate to her/him.
-
Take advantage of adult RE offerings.
-
Be active in the life of this church. No doubt you have noticed that this is a vibrant congregation and there is a lot that goes on between our Sunday services. There are many ways to deepen your connection with the church and build a stronger sense of community. Whether you serve on a committee, sing in the choir, participate in small group ministry, or work at one of our fundraisers, the choice is yours.
