CHILDREN’S RELIGIOUS EXPLORATION

Leslie Ross, Director of CRE

Children’s re registration Begins april 1

April is one of my favorite months of the year. Spring is more fully present, it’s my birthday month, and it’s time for registration to begin for next fall’s classes! I love the cycle of the academic year, and April reminds me that new beginnings are just around the corner. The month will be full of activity as we watch the registrations roll in, recruit teachers for the fall, send our Coming of Age teens off to their Wilderness Retreat, and honor so many teachers who have brought our CRE program to life (don’t miss our acknowledgement of them during our April 29 and 30 worship services).

Our 2023-2024 classes will be held during our Saturday 4:30 pm and Sunday 9 am worship services. Next year's classes include:

• Celebrating Me & My World (pre-K) Sunday only

• Experiences with the Web of Life (K/1st) Saturday and Sunday

• Holidays and Holy Days/Moral Tales (2nd/3rd gr.) Saturday and Sunday

• Bibleodeon (4th/5th gr.) Saturday and Sunday

• Building Bridges (6th/7th gr.) Saturday; (6th gr only) Sunday

• Compass Points (7th gr.) Sunday only

• Mind, Body and Soul (8th gr.) Saturday and Sunday

• Coming of Age (9th gr.) Sunday only

You can register at www.fusmadison.org/cre/classes/.

Help make the year successful for our kids! Each class is staffed by a team of four teachers, so we need a lot of teachers to pull things off. Many of our teachers are parents; many are not. We love them all! If you're interested in learning more about teaching, or if you're ready to jump right in, please contact me at leslier@fusmadison.org.
