Spiritual Growth & Learning

Children's Choir Performance

  • Adult Religious Education (ARE): The ARE committee is a part of our Religious Education program. ARE interprets its mission broadly by offering courses to the members of this church and the San Francisco community that serve as a point of entry into the congregation and an opportunity for forming community within the congregation.
  • Children's Religious Education (CRE): The CRE committee oversees the Sunday program for children and youth and organizes several non-Sunday events for the congregational community and Religious Education families. It also determines curriculum and is involved in long-range planning for the program. The CREC meets monthly.

    For more information, contact our Acting Director of Religious Education, Betty Skwarek by email or phone, (415) 776-4580 ext 16.
  • Children's & Youth Choir (a Music committee): The Youth Choir, for ages 7 and up, meets each Sunday as part of the Sunday school program. Under the direction of Carolyn Jayne, participants learn basic singing skills and perform during services several times each year. For more information about the Youth Choir, contact the Director of Religious Education's Office at 415-776-4580.
  • Ministerial Intern Committee: The Intern Committee is charged with overseeing the teaching functions of this church as related to ministerial interns, individuals who are training for the UU ministry. An intern experience is a requirement for being in fellowship (credentialing). While the parish ministers are the supervisors and mentors for the interns, it is the interaction in a ministerial role with the congregation that is the backbone of the intern experience. Thus, the lay committee works in partnership with the ministers to maximize this experience. We are a Special Committee of the Congregation. Our members are appointed by the Board of Trustees for specified terms, and are nominated by the ministers, the existing Intern Committee, or by current interns.
  • Pagan Interest Circle: The Pagan Interest Circle is a chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) , and a Participating Organization with the First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco. Its purpose is to provide a place for non-Unitarian Universalist Pagans to learn about Unitarian Universalism, a place for non-Pagan Unitarian Universalists to learn about Paganism, and a place for Unitarian Universalist Pagans to practice our spirituality in community. The Pagan Interest Circle offers monthly services in the Chapel at 7PM, usually on the Saturday closest the full moon. The Circle also sponsors celebrations of two of the eight Solar Holidays: Yule at the winter solstice and Beltane at May Day. The Circle welcomes everyone at all their services.
  • YRUU (Young Religious Unitarian Universalists): YRUU is a part of our Religious Education program for young people in grades 9 to 12, but it is listed here as well because the group plans and participates in many activities outside of Sunday meeting times. Members are encouraged to take an active role in deciding and planning group activities. Even the meeting time and location for 2003-2004 was determined by a vote of the general membership.
