VARIES

Classes vary in length of session and time of day to meet the needs of our many members and friends. Some courses are led by our Director of Lifespan Religious Education. Others are facilitated by members of our congregation who have a special interest in the subject. Sometimes we read short excerpts from books, or view and discuss video presentations. Whatever the format, thoughtful discussion is encouraged.

Child care can be offered if requested in advance. Contact Jesi Laughlin, DLRE at dlre@peoriauuchurch.org so we know how many children to plan for.

Our religious education courses are open to all – members, friends, and visitors. Bring an open mind, respect for different points of view, your own ideas, and a sense of humor. 

We hope to see you at one of our classes soon!

 

UUA Common Read

Another opportunity for Adult Religious Education is participation in the annual common read promoted by the UUA.  The 2025-26 UU Common Read is Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection by Deepa Iyer (Skinner House).  Look for programming at UUCP in the second half of the church year.  Until then you can find more information  on the UUA website by clicking HERE.
