Adult Religous Education
We are a liberal religious community of adults and children that encourages self-development, making possible the expression of every person’s potential by teaching that each is held in love, has the power to change the world, and is called to use that power in the service of love. About Adult RE Unitarian Universalists are committed to a free and responsible search for truth and meaning, and we offer adult religious education experiences that we hope will help you in your religious journey. We affirm that revelation is not sealed — new experiences and new information lead us to a dynamic understanding of life and its meaning. Ours is a faith for seekers. UUCV’s adult education offerings this year cover a wide range of interest areas. If you are relatively new to our congregation, we recommend the Roots and Branches class as a place to begin your exploration. All of our classes are open to members and friends of the congregation, and all of them are offered without charge. Some of them expect that you will do some homework or reading between sessions, and we hope that you will make a commitment to attend all of the sessions of a class. If enrollment is requested, we ask you to enroll before the announced deadline so that we can determine interest in the classes and prepare materials. We welcome your suggestions. Please contact Roy Reynolds (minister@uucv.net or 241-0410) if you have questions. You may register for any class by sending an e-mail message to uucv@pa.net, by calling the office at 249-8944 OR by signing up on the sheets in the Social Hall. Adult Religious Education on Sunday Morning We meet from 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. in the dining room downstairs.

Class Offerings at Other Times Roots and Branches Meetinghouse Library (Roy Reynolds) This is our basic class for relative newcomers who want a deeper engagement with our faith. It includes an introduction to Unitarian Universalist history. The emphasis is on discerning what you are seeking, and identifying resources to help you find it; and on discovering your gifts and calling them
to use in service.
This class is required for membership in UUCV. Serious Stuff Book Club Fourth Sunday of each month, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Meetinghouse Library. No enrollment necessary. (Co-coordinators, Marilyn Durr, and Darlene Smith) Our book topics range from novels and poetry to religious studies, science, and eclectic spiritual accounts. Sometimes we attempt to relate them to Unitarian Universalist themes. Mostly we have wide-ranging, civilized, personal discussions about our books, life and love.
