Younger children in our Religious Education program learn that we are the church of the
loving hearts, open minds, and helping hands. With the help of adult volunteers, children and youth are asked to come up with their own answers about what to believe, how to exist in community with others, and how to work for a just and equitable world. They explore many sources of wisdom, including humanist teaching, our Jewish and Christian heritage, earth-centered traditions, science and more.
As a church without a creed, we strive to give everyone in our community the skills needed to develop their own religious philosophies and beliefs, while also weaving a thread that interconnects all of those identifying as UU’s.
Our Director of Religious Education
Anne Mann has 7 years of experience as a DRE in Massachusetts serving 2 churches approximately our size. Anne also has a long association with Ferry Beach, working and volunteering in several capacities, including coordinating family summer conferences. We believe Anne brings experience and skills needed to grow our program on a very strong foundation. Her gentle, peaceful nature will be a welcome presence during busy Sunday mornings. We are confident she will be an effective leader over the coming years.
Anne lives in Saco with her husband and two teenage children. She will be here on Sunday, January 11 to begin meeting the congregation. We invite you to say hello and welcome Anne.
