2008 – 2009 AUUF RE Program Statement

by Terri Albrecht-Schmitt

DRE Statement: As DRE for the AUUF, I will maintain the quality of RE for all participants and will strive to increase it as I am able. I am a facilitator of the Religious Education service for AUUF, and as such I intend to increase the numbers of those helping in some manner to better integrate the adults and children into a multigenerational community of faith.

Goals for the RE program:

* Maintain or increase the quality of RE classes

* Serve as a liaison between parents and teachers, kids and AUUF members, etc

* Provide leadership and assistance as needed for the teachers and kids

* Develop a rotational program of curricula that can be maintained for years to come

 

Objectives for the kids:

* Create a community of faith development for all the ages together

* Have them grow in understanding of what it means to be a UU

* Provide enough spiritual and religious essence to the program that graduates of it will have a “rock of faith” as young adults to rely on

 

Objectives for the teachers:

* See that they are being supported enough to have their own faith development occur

* Increase awareness in AUUF about the need for RE involvement

* Foster an environment where teacher and learner are both nurturers of UU beliefs and ritual
