Welcome to The Unitarian Universalist Community of
El Paso
Los Principios y las Creencias
Youth Religious Education
Sunday School Classes -10:30AM -11:30PM
Our UUCEP nursery
for toddlers and babies (ages 3 and under) opens its doors on Sunday mornings
at 9:15. This allows parents enough time to settle the children in
before the 10:30 service starts. It will remain open until 1PM, allowing
parents a half hour for refreshments and fellowship after the
service.
Our CYRE classes have grown as quickly
as our children have! We are blissfully bursting at
the seams as we serve our 39 registered youth each Sunday. Not
including our nursery, we have expanded to five different
classes in order to meet the needs of our vast age groups. During
the first semester, our children and teens will study pillar #1,
which emphasizes UU identity and values in action. Within
this pillar, we will talk about what it means to be a UU, learn
about the lives and contributions of famous UU men and women and lastly,
explore the principles, which form a basis of UU beliefs and traditions.
Throughout the year, participation in social justice projects
will provide many opportunities for our children and youth to put
their faith into action. Of course, December will be devoted
to our Christmas play and wrap up our first semester.
