Our Minister, Jeffrey Symynkywicz, provides spiritual leadership and is called upon by the Religious Education Committee for counsel and advice. 

The second Sunday in September is Registration Sunday. Registration is necessary for participation in our church school program. Children can be registered during the month of September at social hour after the Sunday morning worship services. If you prefer, you can register your child using our on-line registration form. 

Children in families new to Stoughton or new to Unitarian Universalism can start at any time during the year.  New families interested in having their children participate in the program can register them by contacting a member of the Religious Education Committee, or by using our on-line registration form.

At First Parish Universalist Church, our children share in the first portion of the regular worship service every week. This service begins at 10:30 AM.

Classes begin after the children have participated in the worship service, usually at about 10:45 AM. The classes run approximately until 11:30 AM. 

We strongly urge regular attendance in our program. This helps build a strong sense of community and continuity, and fosters a true sense of belonging. We have some long term projects planned which need week-to-week participation.

As our program has grown, it is a challenge to maintain good communication. One place where information about Religious Education can be found is in our monthly church newsletter, The Packet. A page of RE News appears in each issue. The most recent issues of both the Packet and the RE News are available eletronically on the church's website. At times, announcements will also be published in the weekly Sunday morning bulletin. Teachers are encouraged to write to parents and young people. Families are also urged to share feedback and ideas with the Religious Education team. Religious Education bulletin boards at church will also contain additional information about our program.

The Church has a library located in the RE Office.  To sign out a book, please see a member of the Religious Education Committee.

Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children whenever they are in the building except for the time that they are in class or in the Nursery. Classes meet from approximately 10:45 AM to 11:30 AM. Nursery care is provided from 10:30 AM to the end of the upstairs worship service.

Toilet-trained children are welcome in our Nursery Room during the Sunday morning worship service. The Nursery is staffed by caring church members from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM. If the Nursery is a new experience for your children, you may want to stay until your children feel comfortable staying by themselves.
