Religious Education and Lifelong Learning
We believe that human beings can grow spiritually, morally, and intellectually throughout their lives. We provide children, youth, young adults, and adults an opportunity to explore, reflect, and learn in a nurturing spiritual community. We invite you to explore our Lifelong Learning opportunities and contact our religious educator to get connected.
The religious education program is planned, implemented, and overseen by the Lifespan Religious Education Director, with input and consultation from volunteers and parents. Contact Erica Shadowsong at eshadowsong@first-unitarian-pgh.org for more information or questions.
*All minors are required to be registered to participate in religious education classes and events; please visit our registration form here.
This program introduces three magic “S’s” that we as a faith community need to find the magic to connect to our deepest inner lives, each other, and to the joy of life around us. The three magic “S’s” are:
- Service to Others
- Silence and Mindfulness
- Sunshine and Movement
This program invites encounters with awe and wonder. Stories from our Unitarian Universalist Sources and hands-on activities engage a wide age span of participants to discern miracles, experience and express awe and wonder, and discover their own agency for miracle-making.
