Neighboring Faiths Class (JHYG, grades 6-7-8)
Lead teacher Anthony Mtuaswa Johnson and UUSS friends invite additional adults to volunteer for this class, and we want everyone to know what we are up to at 10:30 AM, two Sundays a month. We had a parent orientation and a decorating party to make Room 6 reflect our interfaith pursuits. Session 1 was “What Is Religious? Foundation Building/ Unitarian Universalism.” Session 2 was “What Is Spirituality? Foundation Building/World Religions.” We have the year planned, and your help is welcome. Contact to inquire.
In addition to some field trips outside of class times, here is our Sunday schedule through March:
November 13 & 27 Judaism
December 4 & 11 Catholic Christianity
January 8 & 15 Islam
February 5 & 12 Protestantism (AME Church)
March 5 & 12 Native American Religions

JHYG will typically dedicate the first and second Sunday of each month to the Neighboring Faiths curriculum. This curriculum requires regular attendance, both on those Sundays and then about once a month for a visit to another faith’s worship service. On September 18 at 11:45, there will be a one-hour parent meeting to acquaint parents and guardians with Neighboring Faiths, the plan for this year, and Anthony Johnson, the lead teacher to prepare us guardians, after the church service.
