CHILDREN'S
INTERFAITH SUNDAY PROGRAMS - 11AM TO 1PM
A children's
interfaith program and service is offered each Sunday from
11am to 1pm which introduces children to stories, art, prayers,
rituals, and beliefs of various world religions. Our goal
is to provide children with a variety of educational experiences,
suited to their developmental stage, to equip them to live
fruitfully in a multicultural, multireligious world. Our community
is interfaith, made up of individuals of various backgrounds
and faiths. We are also multi-cultural and inter-generational
(young and old alike), demonstrating respect and self individual
acknowledgement that each one of us are divine. We carry this
knowledge with us, and by example, speak to our children the
importance of dialogue between one another and family alike.
We demonstrate listening and learning, questioning and dialogue
to discover the human heart and the Spirit of one and all. |
