Service at 10:30 am  Rev. Kathy Tew Rickey
The Courage to Teach
Sermon by Rev. Kathy Tew Rickey Dr. Laura McGuire’s ministerial internship means Rockledge is now a teaching congregation. What does this mean for you individually and collectively? As leaders and supporters? As faith-forward Unitarian Universalists? As Laura’s internship supervisor along with inspiration from Quaker teacher Parker Palmer, I look forward to exploring these questions with you. Rev. Kathy Tew Rickey is an ordained minister in Fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association. Since 2009 she has served congregations in Upstate New York and in Florida. On the cusp of retirement, Rev. Kathy now takes her ministry out of the building to the frontiers of teaching, mentoring, and activism. She lives with her husband, Don, and little dog Daisy in Ormond Beach, Florida. Her favorite pastimes are kayaking, gardening, and traveling. |

Children's Religious Education at 10:30 am:
The Youth RE committee oversees the children's Sunday morning RE program, as well as special events during the year, including a one-week ANT (Art, Nature, Theater) Camp each summer. The children begin their Sunday in Friendship Hall with their families and after the opening hymn, come forward for the chalice lighting and the Children’s Affirmation before being sung off to the Sunday school room for their lesson and accompanying activities, provided by teacher Kim Kroflich. Lessons are provided for children ages 5-12, and child care for those younger than 5, concurrent with the adult Sunday morning service.
The committee is responsible for providing a teacher and a teen assistant for the children's RE and overseeing their work as well as maintaining the rooms where the children's activities take place to make sure they are attractive and welcoming as well as safe for children of all ages. For our curriculum, we use the Tapestry of Faith units available for downloading from the UUA website. Teen programs are also available whenever there is sufficient need and participation.
A final important job of the committee is to publicize the children's program and attract more young families to Friendship Fellowship. We welcome new members to the Youth RE Committee, so if you are interested in working with the children and joining us, please see chair Ruth Rodgers.
