Summer 2023 Classes for Children & Youth

Welcome to Religious Education at Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists. We are glad that you are here. 

Our aim is to provide a safe, welcoming, fun learning environment for everyone, acknowledging that we are all teachers and we are all learners.

Here are the details of the Sunday summer schedule:

  • Sunday Service: 10:00-11:00
  • Religious Education Classes: 10:20-11:20
  • For the month of June, families are invited to keep their children with them in the Main Sanctuary during services. While we give our Religious Education volunteers a well deserved rest this month, children are seen and heard in the Sanctuary. The services will not be specifically intergenerational, but we welcome children!

Please note that the calendar below is subject to change. Register for Religious Education to be added to our special mailing list for WUU families.

How can you help? Our families need you, your community needs your help. Do you have a special skill like kayaking, plein air painting, or water balloon filling that you’d like to share with the kids? Please contact Austen Petersen, Director of Religious Education: austen@wuu.org.
