Adult Religious Education takes many forms at St. John's. We have discussions, lectures, practice groups, book-based classes, adult forums, and even a film series! Most of our classes are either on Sundays or on Tuesday evenings. Some have childcare available for those who preregister. All of our classes are open to members, friends, and neighbors in the community. There is no charge to attend any of our classes, although some of the classes require books.
Classes are available during the year in the following five areas:
1, Unitarian Universalist History and Identity
II. Religion: Theology and Faith Development
III. Spiritual Practice
IV. Social Justice and Ethics
V. Community and Personal Growth

It is in our sharing together that we clarify what we believe and help others to do likewise. All are welcome to attend.Members and friends who would like to present a forum are asked to contact Carol Fencl or

Sunday, May 26 War Zone Faith - Role of UU Chaplains
On this Memorial Day Sunday, we'll look at UU ministers who have chosen to serve as Chaplains in the U.S. Military. In the last several decades, there has been little support for the military in our UU churches. Is there a role that our UU congregations can or should play with soldiers, their families, and the U.S. Military? Leader: Carol Fencl
