Looking for high-quality religious education resources for your family, small group or congregation? The CLF’s RE Express Plus offers tools to create a complete RE program for a family or small group, or to expand a larger program. Each month RE Express Plus subscribers receive via email:
CLiF Notes: A Curriculum for Families and Small Groups
With a session for each week, this year CLiF Notes is focused on helping children address great theological questions such as “What (if anything) is God?” and “How do I live a good life?” While designed for small groups, CLiF Notes can be adapted for use in age-graded classrooms, or used by churches that have a smaller program at one of the service times, or for programs that incorporate monthly worship for children of all ages.
RE Index of Resources
This searchable index will take you to a wealth of CLF RE resources available on the Web. Search by age or topic to find curriculum ideas, Web links, craft ideas, and much more.
KidTalk Web Page for Kids
With links to activities and information about holidays around the world, as well as featured people from Unitarian Universalist history, social justice projects, spiritual practices, ideas for practicing our principles, and a forum for kids to ask questions on religious topics, each month KidTalk provides a way for kids to connect to Unitarian Universalism, and for parents and religious educators to glean great ideas for religious education.
REsources for Living
Each month CLF minister for lifespan learning, the Rev. Dr. Lynn Ungar, writes a column inviting kids (and grown-ups) to reflect on what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist.
Nancy Torres-Vignola, director of lifespan religious education at the Unitarian Universalist Church at Washington Crossing, New Jersey says of RE Express:
It is a wonderful resource. I began by purchasing it and now have re-instituted my CLF membership. The diversity of ideas and programming for all ages within the CLF was even more precious than just RE Express. This has helped to create a monthly focused series that I can use right out of the download.
RE Express Plus is available free to CLF members for family use. Non-members and those who intend to use the material in congregations or small groups may subscribe for $129/year. Contact bmurray@clfuu.org for more information or subscribe via the CLF Shop.
